Posted by Paul Silver
On the 13th May, 14 freelancers got together in the Battle of Trafalgar pub in Brighton. This is some of what we talked about:
- The state of the market (still hard)
- Working from Spain
- Pitching
- PyCon UK 2026 cancelled
- Factory resetting your phone to fix persistent weird problems
- Clearing houses
- Content being too obviously AI generated
- Palm Pilots and Archimedes computers, Amigas – retro computing when it was just “computing”
- Replacing your phone OS
- Satnav quality now vs early satnavs
- Painting and decorating
- Hail in May!
- How many Pauls / Daves / Andys do you know?
Thanks to everyone who came along and made it a very interesting evening!
