Being a Business
Some thoughts about how you as a freelancer basically are a business, and what that means.
This site is my "Glossy Brochure" for my freelance business.
I have 35+ years of experience as a software developer, with C++ as my primary language since 1996. Today I do most of my work in C++17 and C++20.
Current status: Recovering after 3 1/2 intense years as a "Principle software engineer" with a venture funded US tech startup. Planning to spend most of 2023 catching up on the latest in C++, distributed systems, big data, streams processing, learn Rust and to enjoy quality time with my open source projects (who have patiently waited for my return to humanity).
