I'm a contractor and my existing contracts have all been cut almost in sync with the layoffs. I'm actively looking for a FT role now and it's been hit and miss with inbound (recruiters) and outbound (applications) leads.

Lots of already good answers (get an llc/incorporate). To answer your question, yes there is still freelancing going on! But you should know and understand that the atmosphere and general (as a business) outlook towards freelancing has

How timely, I, too, am in the market for a new job and I've noticed that ridiculous new buzz of "HTML over the wire" or related to "over/on the wire". Thanks for writing this.

One thing I think that can best supplement or rekindle this is: disconnecting from any technological device you use like your phone, tablet, laptop, computer and just linger/lounge around. Normally you'd find something to do or pl

I think in some cases a lot of publications (of docs, videos, etc.) like this are indirectly serving as a filter. Filters for both acceptance and rejection. You've worded it better than I can in your last two sentences.

I just spent the last few minutes browsing through your catalogue-- GitHub, your businesses's websites, and your Leave a Legacy article. Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate documentation and writing that you've done. I k

Nice, I'm drafting my similar syllabus for publication on my github. I love the fact that there are more open pathways to achieving a education like this. Thanks for the share!

Capacity? Like amount to produce? I'm sorry but reading what you wrote, you seem to be self-defeating yourself by putting the responsibility on to the third place or office. There's nothing hard nor easy about coordinating a soci

Interesting, I checked your profile and are you still working in government? I'd get your sentiment then. In that context, relationships are big factors

Hi, I get what you mean and I know it can be hard. I want to add that maybe you should try to not recreate the social exp. of working in the office and instead create something different. Some ways to look/frame this is think about whi

I think the whole effort to make others bad because of the juniors/mentorship ideas are largely because a lot of people are failing to adapt. It doesn't help that the very institutions that the people rely on learning from haven&#

This has been a big concern now especially with the rise of remote work and I feel sad for those who don't have the second-place and third-place. It's a constant thing that needs to be maintained, just like all good things. So if
