Can anyone recommend any pop-sci books? I haven't taken a science class since high school, and that is barely remembered. Mostly interested in getting philosophically up to date with the state of matter(?), it's different types, how these objects interact.
Sure, I connected with a woman on a job board at the beginning of last year, made an MVP for her, then transitioned to a full-time job after that. My experience has been good overall, my experience freelancing was stressful which was why I stopped. I get paid low by HN standards (low 100,xxx) but I'm not micromanaged, can make tech decisions, I didn't have to pass a coding test (which I could never do anyways!).
Downside is that I'm the only tech person, there's no one to bounce ideas back and forth with.
Thank you the thoughtful reply. I think "starting with the solution", or the end might be my problem. Not in terms of technology, but I think: how can I make the most money with the littlest effort, with the best chance of success, in order to provide a secure existence for myself, my parents.
"I want to solve $PROBLEM" isn't a root desire for me, I just want to make money. You've given me some things to think about!
