About Freelancing as a coder: Step 1: The Top Languages will be HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP, which will be the main focus for small business that need a website. Maybe there will be some SQL for Database, but only in bigger projects and clients. Step 2: How to start? You first need the skills, basic. Then, you will build your own portfolio website, it has to look good and demonstrate that you have the necessary skills for the project in question. Step 3: Before going into the wild, start small. Find 3 local businesses and offer a website for free, it will help you getting real world skills and the chance to build real projects. These projects are great for your portfolio website. Instead of building concepts, build something concrete that will pull a client towards your work! Step 4: Go into the wild. Cold calls or freelancing web-services. Nothing is easy, but persistency and hard work makes it easy.

Hi Stefan, I am new to web development. I have a question that I cannot get a definitive answer for. As a freelance Web developer, UX Designer, etc. who is responsible for the long temp maintenance of a project, updates, and who is accountable for an issue that could pop up in the future? My take is if you are working for a company the institution is ultimately responsible. What is your take on this subject? If you have an article on this subject I would like to see it. Best wishes.

[@eddisonmwangi3776]

How's web development going for you?

[@filetmignon9978]

as the person that built it, you would be. Unless they've gone and hired another person/agency to maintain their site. The good thing with you being responsible for it is that you get to turn that into recurring revenue though general maintenance work, updates, etc.

[@PeterAdiSaputro]

Hey Stefan ! Hopefully what you share in this video will be useful. Thanks for sharing the insights !

[@mateusbarbosa9934]

Really good content, thanks Sir!

[@POTBFitnessandLife]

Hey, thanks for the valuable content. I have a non-coding question. Previously, you used the TLM 103, but now you switched to dynamic mics like the Electrovoice and the SM7B. Do you prefer those better, and did you sell the Neumann? I am asking because I switched from a TLM 103 to Rode Procaster, and I kinda like it better. I'd be happy if you answered. And thanks for the fantastic content on coding.

[@StefanMischook]

I am a mic nut, first and foremost. In a noisy room, a dynamic mic is better because of the sound rejection. The TLM 103 sounds amazing, but you need a very quiet room. The SM7B and the RE20 reject room noise really well. That said, with a quiet room and some processing, you can make any OK mic sound really good. If my budget was $500 on sound, I would spend $350 on room treatment and $150 on the mic. The room is key.

[@POTBFitnessandLife]

[@usamajalal5490]

Hi, Will you create a video about web hosting business? how it works and how to start it. Is it worth it?

[@taariqq]

It is no surprise that I have friends, here in Karachi, Pakistan, who have developed into senior developer role after their degrees from colleges (masters) ... and ... they are still coding PHP! When I talk to them about Node, they still talk like "yeah, Node has been brought to kill PHP", as if it is just a distant second. Now, if you listened to the HYPE, you'd think 80% of the entire back-end universe is being coded in Node ... 😆 Thanks Stef!

[@brienmacgearailt7801]

Iʻd really benefit from a 10 minute conversation with Stefan. Is there a way to arrange something like this? Iʻm at a crossroad and trying to determine if coding is a good choice to invest my time and future. My goals are specific. Iʻm going to leave behind a high paying career that I am very skilled in however, Iʻm at a point in life I want to start something new. My thought is at 48 taking on a skill that will allow me to have more independent income, less physically demanding, location flexibility and skills that remain relevant as I age. Iʻm also wondering how I might sync my old profession with coding opportunities. Advise?

Hi, I'm into frontend and have some corporate experience, but I would like to switch to freelancing. I don't know much about the current demand and competition on "freelancer platforms", because I see many people offering their services at low rates. What is your view?

[@StefanMischook]

Contracting is different where a contractor will be more like a temp employee, than an independent professional.

Does python work for freelancing?

[@StefanMischook]

It can but you will find other languages more fruitful ... simply because most small business have websites and Python for web app creation is not nearly as popular as JS or PHP.

[@giorgospapadopoulos7709]

Based on what you say doesn't sound like a good career coding these days. To get a low end contract like freelancing, you need public portfolio, coding test and free projects just to set your foot in the door. No but thanks no.

[@StefanMischook]

The whole process might take you a max 6-12 months. Some do it 3-4. Or to make the same money, you will need a 4 year degree or 2 years learning a trade = 2 years experience to catch up the entry level coding salary. So, 4 years vs 4 months ... your choice.

[@giorgospapadopoulos7709]

@@StefanMischook but in your video you make it sound like you talk for the preparation to apply not the process to learn the skill. College is 4 years, but you need only a CV and maybe a cover letter to apply. If you need portfolio just to get an HR call, doesn't sound like high demand profession.

[@joecater894]

​@@giorgospapadopoulos7709 Its a very, very high demand profession, but if you're coming in without experience they won't want to take someone on without proven skills; Its high demand.. but only for skilled devs, mainly. Not many very junior/learning roles in it. So the portfolio is necessary in the absence of a reference from another employer and 3-4 years of experience. Its a market place.
