lol, not saying it’s *the* answer, but i took a job (security) that essentially didn’t take much brain-glucose from me, and actually allowed me hours of free time at night, just so i could pursue a startup and now i use all my free time for twitter

Why are you not contracting? I work 4 months a year and you don’t have to care it’s amazing

de jure I'm a contractor bc tax optimization don't know what the difference is de facto

Oh well, for me, contracting *is* the way out of the rat race... I like coding enough to do it for money but not to do it in my free time... so I do it for as much money as possible for as little time as possible... don't care *at all* about the job...and have 8 months off

This sounds pretty damn amazing... What skillset does one need to get into a position like this?
1 reply 0 retweets 5 likes -
you need 40% of the hustle skill of a sales job. 100% of the skill needed to use a spreadsheet... except applied to html, css and javascript. Then you need about 50% of the courage as a skydive? Spread over a 12 month period. I do html and css only for £350/day

Pretty sure the 1st requirement disqualifies me already but could be doable long-term!

Yup I normally tell people that the technical skill is the least important factor to becoming freelance. I literally spent 2 weeks on codecademy and had an almost-fake portfolio. I've heard other devs worry they "only" have 5 years experience or w/e. But that's not the problem.

Nice! I've only learned some Python so far but there seems to be something deeply intuitive about coding for me. Like, it just clicks. Definitely considering to follow a similar direction to this.

you might be better off a in a full time job if you click with the code but don't want to do any hustling

I mean, I don't *want* to do any hustling but much less do I want to work full time, so lesser of two evils!

Replying to @Gaploser @ssica3003 and
Yeah I have technical skills that I could easily charge >$100/hr for if not more but I can't do the sales hustle at all :(
