Yes, I do post in these hiring threads as well as freelancer threads on my personal account every month. I have been working with two companies, and have invoiced them for nearly $200k in the past ~2 years for development and consulting wor

Yes, then I would go the AI/ML route. I'm also mainly a backend engineer. I considered investing time into Rust as well. But employability is questionable. I'm already in the AI/ML field, so I chose to get more experienc

If all you knew was Rust, then getting a job in this already harsh market would be much harder. It would be easier if you knew ML, but it does really depend on what else you bring to the table. So, what else do you know? The job market migh

I guess I fall in the minority camp here, that I don't mind paying for YouTube to not see ads. I think they've earned it, the creators earned it, but I still use Sponsorblock to block most other ads on Youtube.

All the stress, risk and sleepless nights which come with running a startup, isn't worth the (potential) 10-10000x pay-off for me, when I already enjoy enough freedoms (autonomy + income + free time) to do what I love outside of my car

There is this very popular night market where I live, and whenever I drive through a corner of this market, the Bluetooth in my car just stops. I always wondered what this was. There is just so much interference on a square meter.

One of the things you can also focus on, is not looking like an easy target. Which would lower your chance of getting mugged in the first place. Exercise goes a long way there. And if you do end up getting mugged, set up something like a du

I'm living on a business visa, somewhere in Asia. I am a freelancer, on long to medium term contracts (6-12 months), but my clients may cancel my contract at any 3 month notice, depending on how they feels (that's the nature of th

I am in a similar position as you. And I feel like I am avoiding burnout by shifting the productivity ChatGPT provides me with to my own projects. I mainly work for clients as a independent contractor (web dev), initially they got A LOT mor

Him being a game developer, saying that game development will survive, while web programming will die, definitely does project some bias. But I would like to make the argument that web-development as we know it will collapse in the future.

You google my real name, and there’s a mountain of content I created. I’m an independent contractor and it’s been getting me short and long term work… all over the world as a web developer. I think it’s been the best thing I ever did.

by fbrncci 3y ago
I think I have what it takes absolutely, what's stopping me currently is time. I'm working on a side project, where I am almost 100% sure that it will pay off immensely. But client work is also paying of really well and its very s

Looking at the requirements, they feel very understandable to me since I have worked with Flask quite a bit. Then when I look at your repo, I see poetry and quart, both things which aren't even in the requirements. If I had written the

Yes, checking the ChatGPT interface, yesterday I had 16 conversations, which are usually 5-10 prompts deep. And I only searched for 3 random things on Google (1. finding the azure status page, 2) checking if the spelling of a word was corre

The worst thing about web development is also the best (for a career in webdev). If it was easy, it also wouldn't be this well paid. So it pays off to become an expert in every aspect of a framework + accompanied tools + practices and

I work out somewhat between 9-12 hours per week consistently (weights, yoga, running, muay-thai). It also makes me feel quick(er), more energetic and relaxed. Of course there is a physical aspect to it as well, I look great. And a mental an

I do not know the answer to your question, since for me programming has become a lot more enjoyable being able to throw outputs of LLM's together and then being the glue in between with my expertise. Coming from my perspective, going b

Have you ever done extensive stretching? I do Yoga (3-6hrs per week), and spend some 10-20 minutes stretching my wrists neck after work. If I don't, I am facing the same problem.

AI can't do X or Y because it lacks Z, _for now_.
