Typical Programmer - Tips for successful freelancing
I’ve been freelancing for over ten years, sometimes moonlighting when I have a full-time job, sometimes doing just freelance work. I’ve learned a few things about successful freelance progrramming. Do what you know how to do Clients pay you to solve their problems. They aren’t interested in how cool Haskell is, and they don’t want to pay you to learn new tools and languages.
