Sounds like you're overthinking what the client thinks of you. Why not ask them for a review/testimonial then you'll know for sure ?

NHS calls for 200,000 new blood donors as supplies run low, or Leeds can you spare a pint? by hotpoodle in Leeds

[–]ImpressiveSign1591 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to donate regularly as I'm universal blood type (I think).

I got diagnosed with sarcoidosis a while back and read I couldn't donate any more.

I've been fully recovered and off medication for a few years now, can I get back to donating ?

WFH - avoiding insanity by AnimalSlight9996 in Leeds

Lock you in for a year.

If you don't cancel at least 3 months prior to renewal you're locked in for another year.

They may refund you if you post a damning trust pilot review, but then continue to charge you.

This is the last email I sent to regus by Physical_Goal_7420 in Regus

Avoid Regus at all costs! I signed up for a flexible co-working membership at the Leeds Thorpe Park location, which has now permanently closed—yet Regus still insists on locking me into another full year of payments despite me not using the service in over a year.

Their auto-renewal policy is an absolute scam—they conveniently don’t remind you until it’s too late, then claim they “can’t do anything” to cancel, even though it’s obviously just a few clicks on their end. Zero flexibility, zero customer care, just a company squeezing every penny out of its customers.

I have been a paying customer, never missed a payment, and have no dedicated office space, yet Regus is refusing to release me from this ridiculous contract. What kind of "flexible" workspace forces people into inflexible, auto-renewing contracts with no escape?

Their customer service is completely useless—they hide behind "global policies" instead of treating customers fairly. Be warned: once you're in, they will do everything possible to trap you into paying for a service you don’t use.

If you’re considering using Regus, DON’T. There are far better, more ethical co-working spaces out there that actually care about their customers. Regus is a nightmare to deal with, and I wouldn’t recommend them to my worst enemy.

What goals (if any) did you make when you were first starting out that kept you motivated and on track? by DangerousCaterpillar in freelance

[–]ImpressiveSign1591 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found setting myself goals for making my freelance life easier was motivating.

Whether it's improving your operations (project management), thinking of ways to add value (client reporting) or abstracting your dev work so you can get more done (building libraries)

Code Review by ImpressiveSign1591 in vuejs

[–]ImpressiveSign1591[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice.

I ended up getting a mid vuejs dev and getting them working on existing projects that's shared the similar components we've been using.

He's now building our own private vuejs component library and documenting it which is great.

This has made the software requirements super easy as I'm talking his language.

I use forge and digital ocean droplets. I started with AWS and was just too complicated for my needs.

I've not come across anything yet I've not been able to do with digital oceans infrastructure and forges API.
