Do you take communication outside the freelancer site?
No, until I have worked with them on several projects. Some clients want to take you off the platform so they can chance the terms of the gig or project. Some want to do so to increase the scope of work for the initial amount you agreed on. These are just two of the most common scenarios I can...- ken_gitahi

How many clients do you have?
I have one main client and one I work with intermittently. I can take on more, but I am always thinking about commitment. Taking on too many clients runs the risk of missing deadlines or doing shoddy work. These two are the best ways to lose clients, so it is better to only have ones I can...- ken_gitahi

Are there games you never played twice?
I am a mobile gamer and I install games regularly. Some are just poorly made, others are conduits for ads. I understand why developers add the ads and do not mind one or two here and there, but I do not want to see an ad after every round or every few minutes. It is extra annoying when it is the...- ken_gitahi

Do you use cheatsheets?
Cheatsheets vs. reading the documentation whenever you need a reference? I have quite a few cheatsheets and especially relied heavily on the flex and grid ones from CSS tricks from a few years ago.

Fake reviews are everywhere, even Trustpilot has been caught in a "pay-to-play" scheme in the past. It is really sad in the case of freelance sites because clients who come across such issues are less likely to want to work with independent contractors in the future, which limits opportunities...- ken_gitahi

The impact of AI on software development jobs
One thing that I have discovered is that AI makes me a worse developer. Yes, it can be a crucial tool for a developer, but I have found myself looking up things I should know and that slows me down.
