- coreymaass 11y agoI often promoted myself as a "CTO for hire" with that sort of attitude. Definitely helps.
- chris_hawk 11y ago"CTO for hire" sounds like pretty unforgiving work! It's a good thing you keep strong boundaries, it's wild out there.
- coreymaass 11y agoI actually got a lot better response, in that my opinion was valued higher. Compared to being considered a mere code monkey.
- chris_hawk 11y agoThis is important, and IMO it's the thing that most freelancers neglect. They freelance the same way they did their last W2 job - waiting for the boss to tell them what to do. Freelancing requires a whole 'nother type of thinking and self-accountability. It's one of the most common things I end up mentoring freelancers on.
