@nicodgk yeah I agree. But it feels a bit false getting us all to dress up for a client arrival
-
@tankerkiller125 I wish management type people understood this </3

@Baxos As I understand it, design and implement the user interface 📱

I use spaces to indent on slack. Never anywhere else

Your final year project at university can be really helpful in getting you a job. (It got me mine)
So pick something interesting! Image processing or machine learning is a classic. Wouldn't hurt to extend your skill set outside of Python and Java! -
I solved a bug in the shower once... To the horror of my family as I ran downstairs naked

I will now go hang my head in shame... Can't even do simple Boolean logic on a Saturday

If I make a robot. I will make a sexy one 😇

React Native in the back there?
-
I spent so long trying to learn the type system 😅

"Powerful"... But... How is it. Surely being more productive is powerful? If you are more productive in vim, fair enough.
But you can't just throw out a buzzword. -
Maybe he means
<div class="titanic" style="float: none" /> -
You guys are forgetting A#, ActionScript, ALF 😉

Movies with programming are also the reason everyone thinks we can hack Facebook and the American government.

I see where you are coming from, we using react native at our company and we have an internal library of 50+ components.
But I do sort of like this, it means every component and its functionality is isolated away and easier to debug.
I've not done much work in plain react before, but instead of a separate stylesheet.css file we use the react-native inline styles. So they are declared in the file without css! -
My work use Mac because we are developing for iOS, but at home I use Linux 💻

ES6 has so many cool features in it

PHP is at the bottom?!

@Cruiser I wish :(
-
I love it. So easy to put apps together!
-
@uziiuzair yeah I agree. I always put together a changelog.md as well. So every day the client can see I am working. This will help build trust!
-
@uziiuzair Charing people is tricky. You don't want to overcharge because then they will go somewhere else. But don't sell yourself cheap.
I've always charged per day. Then given them an estimate of how many days I think it'll take.
(Usually a couple more than it actually takes so I can look industrious when I finish 2 days ahead of schedule 😅) -
Some related advice here, but not about charging them.
Make them sign a contract. Like physically sign it. That way when feature creep sets in you can just say "this is what we agreed to".
Also can offer you legal fallback if they refuse to pay.
Biggest mistake I made as a freelancer was not having a contact. -
Unpopular opinion incoming:
Unity. Despite the amount of tripe that gets built on it, the engine is so user friendly and versatile.
My favourite game ever was made on it, Kerbal Space Program -
iOS I prefer to develop for.
But I use android day to day.
