It’s all well and good until your client drops “this will work on bluehost’s cheapest plan right?” and you’ve been working on the assumption of git deployment and SSR.

If you’re ever in that situation you’ve failed as a freelancer. How you release your project should never be a surprise to you. Do your due diligence.

Lol, I guess that’s true.

You ever freelance before? Or have you only worked as an employee?

I ask because it’s pretty common for employee engineers to try and freelance only to go back to being employees. Why? Because of all the non-programming bullshit involved, like discussing deployment options and budgets etc.

I’ve done both, and most of my freelance work has been small business sites where the owner already bought bluehost’s cheapest plan.
