- Its amazing so far! I'm unemployable, I don't like commiting to a company, working in the same project for longer than 6 months, maximum is like 12 months if its a good one. I like working and collaborating with people but I hate all the corporate BS, team buildings, scrum meetings, meetings to set other meetings. And I hate working for 40 hours.
I started my career as a freelancer, then had to take a fulltime job to move countries and get permanent residency, switched back to freelancing 2 years ago. Now I'm working around 20-30 hours per week and make 2x than my first full-time job.
My fulltime jobs were "very flexible" and fully remote after the covid but I always had to be online at specific times or had to pretend that I'm online. Now I'm super flexible, I can work 4 hours in the morning and enjoy rest of the day off, or work 3 days and take rest of the days off and I don't have to report to anyone about these.
I'm fine even if I don't have a job for 6 months or so, I travel a lot with a campervan. I don't have any debt or kids. I've been always lucky with getting clients somehow. So I guess thats a luxury.
TLDR; I love it but finding a stable stream of clients might be stressful.

- In my opinion, the creation of such regulations primarily serves as a barrier to entry for large corporations, much like many EU regulations.
Smaller companies often lack the resources to employ costly lawyers to guide them through the complex regulatory landscape, which ultimately allows only big companies to thrive. This gives big corporations a distinct advantage within the system.
While I don't oppose the GDPR itself, as an independent developer, it deters me from a lot of ideas, even though I have no intention of engaging in questionable activities. The fear of inadvertently making an error and being hit with a massive fine is quite daunting. So in the end I just don't do it.

- I'm a developer for 10 years and I've started to mentoring by HackHands on Ruby and Ruby on Rails. I realized its so much fun and improves my knowledge.
I believe knowledge should be free and I've done lots of volunteered mentoring like instructing RoR 101 more than 200 hours, created a free online RoR101 course.
I find mentoring, helping and instructing people about something you know is fun and exciting, also it makes you better at it.
I also do mentoring at https://www.codementor.io/beydogan
- Interesting! I built Gitcussion for the exact same reason few years ago. https://gitcussion.com/
