> the nonsense they pick up on blogs and conferences Thanks for this bit. As I gain more experience, I grow less and less patient with many blogs and conference talks. Often authors are just very excited about a topic, and my general imp

Your comment left me thinking, so I went to double-check the meaning of the word evidence in a dictionary (after all, I'm not a native English speaker). I found this one as the first entry: "the facts, signs or objects that make y

Here's some stuff that falls under overhead: writing blog posts (this one took me at least 10 hours to write), networking, sales conversations, keeping my own knowledge up to date. It's not consistently one day, but I'd say o

Could you tell more about the companies, the roles and the salary ranges? Those are very interesting data points.

My case was made difficult by the fact that I was only open to 3 days / week contracts. And maybe also because I'm trying to find something outside of full stack development, while at the same time being decently paid.

I'm not going to engage in the eternal atheists vs believers debate, but I'm trusting here that my experience is based upon reality (i.e. I've found convincing evidence). I don't expect what convinces me will convince ev

Yeah, I'm making an effort to avoid being preachy, but since God does play a genuine role in the story, people might as well hear about it (otherwise I'd be hiding crucial information to understand my decisions!)

I don't mind answering that question, but I'm not sure it has a place in the article (maybe I'll modify it later if I change my mind). My expectation is that in The Netherlands you could at most aim at 80k / year as a FT

I wrote this article based on my last 3 years as a contractor with increasingly interesting clients (I'm currently doing open source Rust work for ISRG, the makers of Let's Encrypt). I've found lots of inspiration here on HN

Yeah, I'm a huge fan of C# for web stuff. I'd take it over Rust any day, unless there are strong reasons to want a systems language.

Here in The Netherlands I've seen it extensively used (and I'm using it myself in some projects, though nowadays the bulk of my work is in Rust)

Interesting to see this here... I unexpectedly transitioned from full-stack development to paid open source systems programming a bit more than a year ago. It would have been quite more difficult without my contributions to the Rust compile

Interesting timing... A few weeks ago I evaluated using tarsnap for my business and ended up going for borg + rsync.net, for some of the reasons pointed out in the post. It seemed like the more "professional" option (the website w

My experience has also been somewhat disappointing. I had a toy project that I decided to host elsewhere (Hetzner VM + Dokku), after the node for the PG database stopped working without any notification and didn't come back online (unt
