Great stuff, Stefan. Thank you. I've been freelancing on and off for many years. The biggest issue I run into is, after working for the client for a couple months as a freelancer, they start badgering me to join their company as a full time employee. I refuse and sometimes the client gets upset. Especially, the bigger clients. These execs seem to quickly become possessive and want to "own you". The other issue I run into is, the client wants to treat you as an employee. I always have to remind the client that I'm a freelancer and I deliver services as specified in the agreed-upon contract. No more, no less. Many client execs don't like to hear that.

This came in at the right time I started freelancing this year and it's been a bumpy ride. There were periods I didn't get any contracts for about 2 months and so. I also learned alot of lessons. Like you said uncle Stef, it's best to slowly transition from a job. I went all in and had it rough. But I'm still grateful for the experience

I dont know how it works in the usa but in germany you can also work as a freelance software engineer. It is just like a normal employe but you are a freelancer for long term, big projects (6 to 24 months)

That is not freelancing. That is just being hired but on different terms and conditions.

Being open to the requests of the client or at least only taking projects that fit your profile, sure that should be a given. But switching between entire languages just because of one project? Imagine a translator for Korean would just try Russian this time because that's what the client prefers. It would be bad for both. So yeah, I can understand choosing this or that library within a language for a special project, using different code standards, CI/CD pipelines etc. But not the language itself (unless the client has a long term focus/$$$ and knows the situation).

He said he was really good at Java,.. It is said that once you master a certain programming language then all of the languages start to seem similar because Programming Concepts and Fundamentals are all similar and start to repeat stuff, so learning a new/2nd PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE is not like you are learning PROGRAMMING for the time, a week or 2 is enough... Learning a human language is always difficult and will always take time, because languages use different grammatical structure, and you probably need to know two to three thousands words in your vocabulary....
@redpillsatori3020 Жыл бұрын
Yeah, but the comparison isn't really fair, since (I think) learning real languages is way more difficult. Unless you're going from Python to Rust it isn't that hard to pick up another coding language once you know the basics in one, and, even then, learning Rust would be way easier than an English speaker trying to learn Korean. Honestly, if you're a semi-decent coder, have some experience, I think it's well worth it to spend a few weeks learning another tool, framework, or coding language, even if it is just for one project.
@StefanMischook Жыл бұрын
Your spoken language analogy is fubar. The better analogy is moving from British English to American English. All the modern languages (with some exceptions) are pretty similar and trivial to learn.
@lako2023 Жыл бұрын
@@StefanMischook Well, the programming languages as such may be similar. But that's just the very very start (same as someone learning a few words as a tourist). That doesn't include the many available libraries, frameworks, best practices, workflows, different IDE's etc. which one would have to research / get to know as well. Getting a basic script done in a different programming language is easy (á la WordPress level), delivering professional work that makes best use of all available resources is not and that takes time.

Never mind, after checking your website for a moment (charset "windows-1252" instead of "utf-8", no robots.txt, no xml sitemap, Google Fonts via CDN, not GDPR compliant, old Google Analytics code, use of inline CSS, external CSS not modified etc.) I understand that this channel is more focused on beginners, instead of professsional developers.

If AI gets so advanced and useful that it eliminates most jobs, then it's a good thing, in the long run, because it mean humans will be free to do things they actually enjoy more. It means we would be one step closer to a Star Trek utopia with food replicators, etc.. I think it would force people to be more creative in finding ways to produce value for others.
