Day in the Life of a Freelance Developer

[cryptohog]

A day in the life of a freelance software developer:

4–5 clients at a time, tackling complex DevOps and system rewrites.

Works 8–10 hours/day (sometimes 10–14!) but controls his schedule.

Weekly meetings: minimal, with space reserved for emergencies.

The upside? Flexibility, multiple income streams, and freedom to part ways with clients.
The challenge? Discipline, motivation, and keeping a steady pipeline.
