Because we have gone from a feast to a famine. I took some time off my normal job/contracting roles in 2022 to create and launch an app idea I had. Then, I only started looking again last year (UK) and it was tumbleweed. I only got a d

Swear a lot. Last week I spent the day co-working with a bunch of contractors from the same agency/consultancy. Lovely location (an old pump house by a stream), great food, seats, tables etc except the wifi was awful. I brought an old
