Ask HN: Freelancing? How's Work? I've been freelance Rails developer for 8 years and have never wanted for work. Over the past six months, however, things seemed to have dried up. And it's not just me. I've spoken with devs in other languages, designers, devops, and writers and everyone's saying the same thing: work's slowing down. A couple people think it's because companies are more optimistic and are therefore hiring full-time workers instead of contractors. What do you think? Are you seeing the same downturn? |
