I ordered my favorite butter chicken to celebrate because I have been able to double my hourly $ rate over the last year, thanks to AI
They are happy with my work and they offered me three months contract
Weekend will be spent preparing for a call on Monday.
It is a small contract that I want to take because I am just playing games and watching shows at home and it is not a good feeling

2 weeks in, & I interviewed a designer today. 😆
It was fun, I am bad at taking interviews and giving them, so I just prefer to have a natural conversation on how it would be day-to-day, assuming they are already accepted.
This gives me a good idea how I would like or not like to work with them

Beyond an iOS Developer
This year has been pretty cool for me. I started going beyond the tag of "iOS/macOS" developer and beyond Swift language, thanks to primarily Cursor and Claude models.

I have made more than I thought I would; but my beard has a few white hair strands. What a tradeoff
Back to Xcode! Only writing code that prints money for Japan trip. 🤖
I started another contract trial today.
Amusing how I was not reached out for work over the past months and when I decided to just watch tv shows and play games, I got 2 in the same week. 😆
