ykevinator2··on Ask HN: Generalist contractors, what is your hourly rate?
There are 100 clients who expect to pay $15 / hour for every one who will pay $125. It's really really hard to find them but you will find them if you ask 101 potential clients.

ykevinator2··on Ask HN: How to improve as a struggling junior software engineer?
Learn from your mistakes, consider it tuition. One of the big hurdles junior devs don't realize is that customers actually use your work, so anything that can go wrong will go wrong. So you have to spend more time with the ancillary stuff (handling exception gracefully, logging, multiple tabs, logged in on two machines, etc) than you are likely currently. Mistakes should be welcome if they have an roi. Keep at it, you can improve and everyone will benefit.
