Have you aways worked part time as a developer? I didn't think it was a common thing but sounds lovely. Can you talk about it some more?

- eropple 10y agoCan't speak to him, but I fluctuate between 24 and 30 hours a week of consulting. I make about as much money as I did as a FT engineer (depending on the project, charging anywhere from $110/hr to $200/hr); dealing with taxes myself is a minor pain in the ass but having a ton of extra time every week is really nice. I did have to bust my ass a bit to get to the point where I had the skillset and the knowledge necessary to do it, but I'm glad I did. That I am at this point is probably some of why I feel freer to criticize the tech industry--I've been on the bottom and I've since largely stepped out, and it's ugly looking in on it.
- majewsky 10y agoI started out full-time, but quickly switched to part-time to do a CS bachelor in parallel (I had a master in physics when I pivoted into IT). Right now, I only have the part-time experience outside of lecture seasons, but I like it very much. I don't have family, so I mainly use the extra time on personal projects or time with friends.
