That hardly sounds representative of the Node.js adoption curve. Could you elaborate on your typical client profile? Are you a solo freelancer, maybe attracting clients with legacy codebases? Location?
- pmontra 6y agoFreelancer, Milano, Italy. They reach to me either for taking over existing projects or to start new ones. Of course it can be selection bias but it extends to the other developers I'm in contact with.
- cutler 6y agoJust searched Milan on https://it.indeed.com https://it.indeed.com - Node.js 123, Django 26, Rails 11, ASP.Net 133, Laravel 67. As Node is a web technology comparing it with general purpose languages such as Java and C# is apples to oranges.
- cutler 6y agoWhat's your typical way of sourcing clients?
- pmontra 6y agoAlmost always word of mouth. They start looking for somebody experienced in what they want to do (development and/or software architecture) and some eventually find me. So selection bias is very possible.
- cutler 6y agoHow do they find you?
- stjohnswarts 6y agoHe said word of mouth, obviously through a business network. It's a good thing to keep in touch with people and maintain business links for both parties. I do it all the time.
