I’m a Lead Product Designer, 8 years exp at PixieBrix. I’m building a freelance side hustle at 383 Studio
Nice! How have you found that to be? Freelance vs fulltime?
Biggest difference is basically being your own product owner. Figuring out the pricing, crafting the offer, cold outreach, sales - all that stuff is really outside my comfort zone. But I didn't really start the side hustle to be comfortable.
If that isn't the truest thing I have ever heard "I didn't really start the side hustle to be comfortable" I feel that. Just about a month into my journey and feel like I don't know what the hell I'm doing, but really enjoying the process of trying to figure it out!
I am a senior full-stack web dev (25 years of experience) with the backend team at event management platform Brella.
Besides coding on the backend I am also responsible for the infrastructure in Google Cloud based on Kubernetes.
On the side I am building DynaSite, a visual website builder with some cool AI features.
Love it! Lots going on. What drive you to work on the site project? Is it freedom, money, love of building, etc?
All three! 😄
