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?

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

This is absolutely fascinating. I'm not this kind of worker, but even from the outside I'd got pulled into the idea that you'd need loads of experience to pull this off.

Don't trust what anyone "knows" about contracting who isn't a contractor. It's a slightly different story for different tech skillsets, but the bar is pretty low there too and not what you'd expect. It's a totally different game to PAYE
