Freelancers meeting notes for 22 May 2024
Posted by Paul Silver
On 22nd May, nine freelancers met at the Battle of Trafalgar to talk self employment, tech, and elections.
This is some of what we talked about:
- Pensions – moving, paying in, hassles and positives
- Problems with old school server setup
- Storing your code – Github vs Gitlab vs others
- Deployment systems
- UK election is coming!
- USA election is coming too (but more slowly)
- Trump’s legal cases and how many can he make go away if he becomes President again?
- Building an ad network
- Making multiple products to see what works
- USA trip
- Ultra processed food
- Dogs
- Who cooks in your house?
The upcoming UK election, announced a few hours before our meet up, caused much merriment. The work market has been quiet for a long time and a change of government will generally help that pick up, no matter which party gets in. We’re all hoping that’s true this time.
