WHAT PROBLEM DO YOU ENCOUNTER

MOST WORKING WITH FREELANCERS?

THE POLL

Do not fear your client,

they are individual

people who can be

approached, questioned and

talked to. Do all three often, get

them on your side, work with

them, not for them. Your life will

be easier and better for it.

@adsevenfour

Learn the language

before you learn the

framework. If you want

to learn React, take the time to

learn JavaScript first. It will make

your learning easier and allow

you to extend the framework

beyond what it’s capable of.

@CraigPryde

Find somewhere to

work where you can

learn from others.

@Benjieboo

“If you don’t use it, you

lose it.” Sometimes ppl

get caught up in

learning a bunch of languages,

then end up forgetting what they

learned. So no matter what

language you learn, make sure

that you also put in the time to

build something.

@DonnyFingerGuns

80% of success comes

from people skills.

Technical skills are only

relevant if you can read

situations, negotiate and

communicate enough to identify

how to apply these skills.

@_LeonBrown

Embrace failure! It’s

okay not having an

answer to all the

questions. Learn that failure is a

process and even the top

engineers don’t remember the

basics sometimes!
