I have a whole channel dedicated to this topic, it's UK based but a lot of the pricing stuff still applies: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheFreelanceSoftwareShow/videos

The comments talking about the amount not being enough etc is what I really hate about this place. The amount of money referenced can be life changing for a lot of people and even the concept of getting a bonus for many people is just not p

Here’s a great book that has lots of valuable insights: https://leanpub.com/freelancedeveloperbook It’s geared to freelancers but honestly it talks about a lot of soft skills that are probably equally as important as techni

Hey. I actually started a YouTube channel specifically for this. I started freelancing and contracting around 10 years ago and found it really hard to understand how to approach everything so I’m basically spewing off my thoughts on that pr

My experience on mobile is: Open PDF Attachment > Trigger “Markup” > Sign > Save > Send Back I’m on iOS. It’s done quite nicely to be honest.

Both sides were fed propaganda and your over-simplifications of why people chose to vote leave are just not very intelligent.

The guy is spot-on. Some devs are too quick to assume that technical perfection / purity is what they're paid for. Sometimes that approach and mindset serves a really valid purpose but often not.

Hang on hot potatoes. I use 1Password. So are you saying I can generate a login that uses myaccount+alias@mydomain.com automatically?

I love the idea of doing this. Just like I do the idea of using Apple's "hide my email" feature. But in reality you're completely locking yourself into that provider. What if I want to change provider or the provider dec

I'm sorry but you can't know that. The vast majority of people had probably made their decision before the messaging kicked in. Also you can claim the same the other way. The only reason people voted to remain is because of the sc

I honestly think Brexit was only a very small part of this. It's probably also a combination of IR35 making the entire endeavour not worthwhile for UK AND European workers and the government not having enough HGV tests available to bri

I’ve come to the conclusion 90% of HN has no experience raising children and what it entails. This is evident in the replies of people saying “just do x”. Never contains any context as to the country you live in, it’s infrastructure or the

Many in here don't understand why you need this if it's a CLI app which obviously means you could probably monetise this and earn a living from it.

Another fan of the Korrupt FM boys! It’s not often the BBC hit jackpots like this show though, actually tell a lie, Motherland is very well done, all parents can relate! Some of their comedies of late have been really good. I can’t really s

This is without joke what I'm actually thinking about doing. I just can't get on with Javascript, and that's with 4 / 5 years of Vue development. I hate that I can't just come back to a project 6 months later and bu

I agree, but I'm framing this entire talk about why people use microservices / these technologies prematurely. If you're at Twitter's scale, not only do you have a technical requirement to scale such an endpoint more tha

I'd be going back to asking why you want to split it off though. If there's legitimate reasons for that then my other concern would be what about areas of the existing codebase that are intertwined with those messages' modell

Sure! I understand what you mean. I am always wary that I'm falling into point 2 which is why I posted this. I have build CI / CD systems before. It's just that it comes out-of-the-box with Forge in that some basic things run

Nice. I am at peace with the tools I use. I'm very confident that the tools, stack and setup I use, for my context (early stage startups) does provide them with real value. My concern is that the industry as a whole is moving away from

Just generally positive thinking. If you're in your head, you're dead. I really enjoyed "The Secret" for this sort of mindset. It's a bit mad but the core message I think is great!

Side note: The Secret is actually a great book who’s message on positive thinking has all but dispelled my negative talk about my work and habits and simply just made life feel much easier. It’s totally whacky but I just kind of love it !
