Speaking of more mugs below...

JUUN Software on LinkedIn: #teatime[^] :D As some of you know I quit my job in August 2019 to focus on my own company, JUUN Software, full time. I've had a good start, then some difficult months, and things are going very well right now! :D Got a project I've inherited (WinForms VB.NET and Crystal Reports, yikes!), some work that was cancelled (postponed?) because of COVID, some projects I've done (and doing) from scratch and some nice returning customers. For next year I've got even more projects lined up! Despite COVID, I've had a great professional year :D I got those mugs last week and since it came up I wanted to brag about my mugs too! (haven't tried them in the microwave yet though) :laugh:

Congratulations! My current prospects are pretty good as well. Two of my gigs I got basically because of Code Project. :-D

Because of your good* and continuous efforts on Code Project :thumbsup: :D * Ignoring your notorious if-statements.

I can't share it but I think you'd be pleased with my paid code. It looks quite a bit different, because I don't like writing code the way I know others need it written. It's *work*, not for fun. Best regards. :)

So you have become one of the "consultant" brigade. Having done that for a decade in the mid 90s I can sympathise with your plight. It is an absolute nightmare when you have too much work in the pipeline and it is even worse when the pipeline is empty. It is very much tougher if you are also raising a family, inconsistent cashflow creates tensions you would not believe. Try to get some sort of work/life balance. Be wary of expanding you workforce, management requirements expand exponentially beyond 1. Congrats with getting it started and good luck keeping it going smoothly.

How does one get a gig via CodeProject?
I was writing articles here, and somebody that was reading them ended up retaining me to write some code. Also Codeproject has a sister company? of sorts called ContentLab that produces technical articles for clients, and they hire developers to write content for them. So I've been doing some of that too.

No issues there, single without kids, plenty of savings and very little monthly expenses :D I have an uncle in that situation though and yeah, stressed out, always worrying about the money.

Work and fun aren't mutually exclusive, but doing something for yourself still feels different somehow :)

Sure. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy my work. But when I wrote code for work I write code less fluidly, and to a more rigorous standard, and imposing that standard on myself is work.
