Coding Beauty’s Post

OK, I don't think that this post will change anything, but one can hope... I am a freelance programmer. I intentionally don't want to use fancy titles like "software developer" or anything fancier, as it hides the main point of my job, and that is programming. Of course I am doing related things, like testing, compiling, debugging, even designing, but those things go without saying. I am almost always looking into new gigs, as I usually can adjust, work weekends, or I can at least discuss the work and schedule it for the near future. So, there is really no point into asking me if I am looking into new opportunities. If you have some opportunity, say it, and ask if I am interested, and I will tell you based solely on my abilities. I am not really excited about missions and visions of your company, neither about leveraging, empowerment, or any other corporative buzzwords. I care about two things only: 1. My ability to deliver good quality product. 2. Money. You can think of me the same way you think of car mechanic, or of the guy who puts ceramics into your bathroom. And even when I apply a fair amount of modesty, I can say that I am a damn good programmer. If you are interested, feel free to send me a message. If you are not interested, then please, and I am begging you - don't!

#blog post 👋🏼 Weekly learnings and updates: Projects, Freelancing, Communities... Hi again! - There's a few group projects I'm going to start soon in a few communities I'm in. One is for the current Dallas Software Developers community cohort and another is for the little tech book club which are still in planning phases. - I've been working mostly on freelance stuff to get some client projects completed for the past week. It's taken up some of my time and I'm hoping to get more clients in the near future. - One of the projects I've just about completed is a Coffee to Water Ratio Calculator. It was giving me trouble as it didn't show up correctly on the clients computer. They used safari and I used chrome. I learned a bit about browser compatibility today because of that. - I'm also currently doing research on getting a built docker image working on vercel. I'll make some documentation on that and maybe live stream a demo on Thursday if the LGT gang decides to. - The react native scandit project has been on hold for a bit. I will be reading over documentation more to give some feedback about the setup process and doc organization. Hope your week goes well✌🏽 TODOs: - Go over scandit docs - research docker and vercel - Work on freelance projects - Read a bit about UI/UX and design patterns (OOP) #softwareengineering #developer #programming #coding #webdevelopment

#100DaysOfCode #Day60 I'm thrilled to share that I've completed and deployed my portfolio page! 🎉 Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/dsmVed3g Deploying the page had its challenges, especially with some bugs related to the Vite build configuration. However, after some thorough research, I managed to resolve them. Notable features include: A progress bar in the studies section displaying real-time progress in my courses and studies. A link to my resume hosted as a Google Docs document. Although there are still a few UI bugs, the page is ready for future job applications. I’ll continue to refine it in parallel with other tasks. Next steps: Highlighting this portfolio as one of my key projects. Creating a detailed presentation of its features. Returning focus to my ongoing freelance projects. #WebDev #ReactJS #FrontendWebDevelopment

Successfully completed freelance project Checkprix: What I learned: 1. Building strong relationships with clients is crucial. 2. Mastering the serverless framework and deploying my first Lambda function. 3. Immersing myself in Node.js development. 4. Prioritizing code quality throughout the project. 5. Exploring deeper integration of S3 buckets with Lambda functions. 6. Developing the frontend with React, uncovering new logic and approaches with each project. Challenges: 1. Dealing with a computer crash in the middle of the project and maintaining communication with the client during repairs. 2. Working with a low-end laptop that frequently froze and lagged, causing frustration. 3. Overcoming file corruption issues in the serverless framework and finding solutions within the given timeframe. 4. Learning how to conduct feasibility studies effectively. These experiences have undoubtedly enriched my skills and resilience as a freelancer. https://checkprix.net

How to fail as a freelance software developer? Never change. Stay a developer. Stay replaceable. Focus only on tasks. Focus only on improving your coding skills. Blend in with the team. Value them over yourself. Delivering a project from start to finish requires a broader view. A product builder view. You engineer a solution.  You outline a roadmap for how to build it. You decide what technologies to use. You estimate how long it’s going to take. You research and develop. You prepare the product for testing. You launch the product. In essence, you start leading instead of following. Senior engineers, team leads and solutions architects know this. That’s why their success rate is higher. You don’t need other’s people approval to start leading. You only need yours. P.S. What’s stopping you from starting to lead? #freelancers #softwaredevelopment #leadership
