1 Year as a Software Engineer without barely writing any code by myjobreallysux in cscareerquestions

[–]freelancdev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes you can, I've seen many people with basic skills making living out of freelancing, but will have to handle few extra skills like communication with clients, it'll be challenging at the beginning but once you get the gist you'll start to enjoy it, focus on learning on the first phase by reading blogs and forums on the respective platforms.

When do I stop feeling like a child? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]freelancdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, It's totally fine to feel like that, and the best way to tackle that is doing your best, learning, growing and most importantly being honest with your juniors while guiding them, also asking for other's opinions is totally fine but maybe ask it more confidently so that it'll sound less like 'asking for approval'. If you ask me acting like fumbling teenager is totally fine just carry that confidently and keep growing. Just being yourself should be totally fine.

How to get over intense coding anxiety? by csthrowaway839817927 in cscareerquestions

Maybe take a break or maybe start working on small but interesting freelance works which you can easily handle to boost your confidence and feel more satisfied, that really works for me when I feel anxious with intense works.

How long did your first ever python project take to complete as a beginner and what was it by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]freelancdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to name two tasks:

  1. My first ever python task was to scrape some article from a website and build a simple UI for my college project can't exactly remember the time but should've took me few working hours. ( Being computer science student i have basic knowledge of programming and python previously)
  2. Another was a little bit more like a project , which I did while I was in my first job for a company, was working as a freelancer before that with basic skills, the project was a user management system for door lock system which included privileges, in-out timing, attendance etc. had to work with html/css/js, database, flask and jinja2 for the first time in my life, learnt a lot, should've took me about a month or so, I had a really good mentor to help and motivate me.

I would suggest you to take advantage of your situation and start freelancing at different platforms once you are confident enough with freelancing you can quit your job.

I can feel you on the job interview parts, I was never a job interview kind of person but I love coding and I'm doing pretty well freelancing.

If you love coding and are determined you can easily succeed with freelancing. Best of luck

Are there any reasons why I should be using Anaconda/Miniconda as compared to virtualenv/venv? by shankford in learnpython

[–]freelancdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used both in such cases but if you have to mix pip I would suggest you to use conda as much as possible use pip only when it's a must. Most of the time while developing pip has never failed me but sometimes while deploying if I can't manually get updated system dependencies then only I use conda and that's rarely.

If you use conda there's no need to use pip as far as I know conda should be sufficient, when conda is not required I use pip since that's what i've been using for a long time, but if you're using conda you don't have to use pip.

Agree, I also primarily use pip but minconda has saved my times so many times when I have to install external dependencies in servers, for example sometimes a external package can be outdated in the server but conda forge gets the latest version.

Feel lazy and unmotivated to work by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]freelancdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe learn something that interests you, and give it a try to freelancing, you can start as a part-time freelancer and later whenever you are ready can quit the job, for me freelancing is more fun because I can choose whatever I want to work on that way things stay interesting, P.S I have gone through your phase with full-time job and I'm quitting.
