Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Mastodon can do it.
Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments
Freelancers/contractors: get in the comments
Everyone else: boosts appreciated.
The market is *dead* for freelancers and a big part of that (in my opinion) is fragmentation. Let's get that network effect *back*.
Weeknotes for 2025, week 26: https://denisdefreyne.com/weeknotes/2025-w26/
I spotted a mistake in Twin Peaks! When Dale Cooper asked the Internal Affairs agent on which TV network season 3 would air, the agent answered “it’s Showtime.”
However, neither Dale Cooper nor the Internal Affairs agents were aware of their existence as mere characters in a TV show. On top of that, it is likely that nobody in the crew (not even David Lynch) knew that Showtime would be the TV network that would air season 3.
I got laid off today. Eek!
Looking to hire a senior/staff engineer? I might be exactly what you need.
