Father of two. Freelancing is freedom. Senior software dev. Writer.
Struggling to find great freelance clients? I can help.
- I can't wait to charge $200/hour to fix all the stuff "vibe coders" are about to deliver to clients.
- Show me a website built in 2024 that doesn't look like every other site built in 2024. I'll wait.
- I'm looking to hire a junior developer with at least 15 years of experience in Javascript, PHP, Python, and Selenium.
- "This startup is valued at $2,000,000,000 because of their choice of Javascript framework" - nobody, ever, in any timeline
- Seeking senior web3 developer. Must have at least 7 weeks of experience.
- No-code is a religion at this point. Look. I do software dev for a living. I *prefer* to do things in the most convenient way possible. But not a single web app I built in the last two years could be built with no-code. Why do people get angry when I tell them this?
- Why are 90% of tech Twitter folks focused on front-end work?
- High school taught me the intestinal systems of tapeworms, but not HTML. Let that sink in.
- How children disappoint their parents: 1980: I wanna be a rock star, man 1990: I wanna be a metal star, dude 2000: I wanna be a rap star, bruh 2010: I wanna be a gamer, bro 2021: I wanna be an open source developer
- Account with 500 followers: *tweets the smartest thing I've seen all week* 2 likes, 0 retweets, 0 comments Account with 100k followers: Javascript suckz lol 800 likes, 300 retweets, 200 comments
- I've been a software developer for over a decade. I've never taken part in a hackathon. Am I the weird one?
- Can you explain recursion without resorting to tech terminology or Google? I think this is a fun exercise for new software developers. #100DaysOfCode
- Software developers, how much coffee do you drink per day? I'm at 2-3 cups, usually espresso or macchiato.
