Hello, is anyone using Clojurescipt for freelancing jobs? My cousin told me to make her an e-shop then saw that 70% of sites use PHP+CMS and i was completely discouraged, thinking that CMS people will do things that i would need weeks, in days or even hours. Hand made things without CMS makes sense in freelancing jobs? Are there enough freelance jobs that making hand-made things is better way for the job?
> is anyone using Clojurescipt for freelancing jobs? Yes. > Hand made things without CMS makes sense in freelancing jobs? Yes, freelancing and using CMS are orthogonal. You can work for a company and develop only with/for a particular CMS, or you can be a freelancer and never touch a CMS.
I have built many custom CMS type systems. I tried drupal, joomla, wordpress many many years ago, and I'm sure they have improved since then, but lets just say that the experience has scared me for life 😛
I have used ClojureScript in freelance work but I am always a bit wary of leaving the client with a system which it's hard to find developers other than myself to work on. I think it's a good idea to make sure the client understands the tradeoffs if you go down this route. The main tradeoff I highlight is: > I will be able to build this faster/cheaper with less bugs, but if you need work on it in future and I am not available it may be harder to find developers. I wonder if it would make sense for there to be a pool of CLJS freelancers to refer to in cases like this? :thinking_face:
The first thing I have done every time I have taken a project over from someone else is replace their tech stack with my own 😛 So, I just always assumed someone else would do the same and not worried about if someone else could continue with CLJS
Ha ha classic programmer move. Yes you're right that probably is very common.
