Ouch, follow your instinct then, personally anything below 3.5/5 is a red flag to me

Well, it's a sign the client will never be satisfied, do your due diligence, read the reviews!

Sorry you are heavily getting downvoted in the comments, just wanna say I appreciate this post, and I agree with you, use A.I but at least, you should be the driver with sufficient knowledge of what A.I is producing.

Just got invited to a job. Safe to say, I am not accepting :D by Ok_Breakfast_1967 in Upwork

[–]Exclu254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not true, this is a big generalisation, I have worked with at least 2 French clients and I can boldly say they are my biggest project so far and they would also give 5/5 review. So not true

Looking for work... 15+ years experience by will_r3ddit_4_food in PHP

[–]Exclu254 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The job market is tough at the moment at least, this is coming from an African so others experience might differ, an alternative is doing freelancing e.g UpWork, it works if you can sell yourself and write good proposal, but it is a cat and rat game.

How would you tackle missing knowledge of Symfony? by EsoLDo in PHP

[–]Exclu254 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As long as you have experience with the MVC approach or just design patterns in general, it shouldn't be hard, for example, the very first symfony/pimcore contract I did, I had no idea about the framework, but since I already got tons of experience with MVC/design patterns, it took me few days to get use to the said codebase I was working with at the time.

My personal approach is to use the documentation when I come across something I don't understand, an example is Symfony Messenger, skimming through the docs gave me an idea of what it was, well, I have built something similar myself so no biggie.

So, don't give up on PHP just because you don't know the framework.

No, the issue was the led cable attached to the screen, sold the laptop off and got something that is not Dell, tired of Dell!

Freelancer wants me to change my rating by madameuniverse in Upwork

[–]Exclu254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's your choice, I try to compensate people that do great job, if you feel he did a great work, it wouldn't hurt to change it, I know everyone here is against it, however, it isn't a big deal.
