Stress and notes from our freelancers meet up on 2nd April 2025
Posted by Paul Silver
On the 2nd April, eleven freelancers got together in the Lord Nelson Inn, Brighton, to talk all things tech and freelancing. This is some of what we talked about:
- New work!
- Using conferences as an excuse to travel
- Stopping the aggressive crawlers for AI bots
- OggCamp is great
- Clock change confusion for remote team members
- Govt questionnaire to help guide you into a new career
- Bad sleep, stress and more
- Making money from YouTube and music streaming
- Fixing microwaves and what kitchen gadgets do you own but not use?
- The shape of bullet train noses
- How SSRIs work
- Are EVs soon to become cheaper than ICE cars?
Thank you Laura for making some new, green signs to mark our tables on Farm nights, and laminating them so they survive people using them as beer mats.
