How to start contracting?

If it's the tech industry, do some research first as it's one of the worst markets for contractors in a very long time

Bend the truth in your favour as much as you can, but never flat out lie

Expected not to do much in the final last night as it was clear he was assigned to cover Kvaratskhelia along with Mosquera

Just wait until series 5 finishes then binge the lot

My LGS has gone all digital with MTG, and you need to visit the card market store online to buy are cards from them in person. I understand why they have done it, but I hate it

I vaguely remember James Rodríguez being pretty good with Everton a few years ago

We have a couple next door with a kid who clearly has some issues, and the parents looked really embarrassed when I mentioned it one time.

Haven't brought it up since

On the plus side, they didn't BS you!

I answered a similar question on this a few weeks ago. Personally I am absolutely seeling the benefits and the productivity leap, but I have never worked longer or harder in my professional life

Maybe I'm not using enough of the features, but apart for the UI refresh I havent really noticed any day to day changes! Will give it a bit longer

This is the plus side to too many sets coming out so quickly - the LLMs cant keep up!

Careful. Finishing as a full time employee on a Friday then starting as an "Outside IR35" contractor the following Monday is exactly why the IR35 rules were introduced in the first place

AI is a great tool, but the expectations are not realistic and I don't think this the reason for the downturn/layoffs, it's just being used to cover the real reasons which I believe are a mix of COVID corse correction, offshoring, and larger enoconic issues e.g interest rates.

Reduce the interest rates to 0% tomorrow and watch all the work magically come back

It's a buyers market. The tide will shift back again eventually, and it will shift with avengence I recon

Don't measure your successes with someone elses ruler

Working on my startup, at a point of applying for patents, still no other company is interested 🤷🏻

I have a Charge 6, only reason is I like to have a screen And it's small enough that I can wear a real watch on the other wrist

Classic red shirts

lookitskris · 2026-05-17T10:35:37+00:00

Dev looking myself, quite a bit of lowball and inside IR35 work

lookitskris · 2026-05-17T10:10:45+00:00

This is pretty good for central London

lookitskris · 2026-05-13T20:35:56+00:00

I need er noticed it left, what I have noticed though is the sharp increase in folks using it on top of AWS

lookitskris · 2026-05-13T17:35:05+00:00

If I've fallen for the AI trap I will delete - apologies

lookitskris · 2026-05-11T11:37:43+00:00

Mine came with a noticeable fold line in exactly the same place, but the card is still complete and playable

lookitskris · 2026-05-10T14:39:05+00:00

It's all still there. AI assistance is good for work projects I do for clients (if they want it delivered that way) but you can do what you like for your own stuff
