looking for work, sort of, software
(Probably only going to post this once, as I dislike advertising but I do need a place to start)
So I'm a freelancer (mainly for ADHD reasons) doing software-y things, and I'm currently looking for some more clients, because I'm uncomfortable with how few clients I'm currently dependent on for my income.
I've also been wanting to start doing something different that involves less scheduling and aligns better with my disabilities: flat-fee expert support for #Javascript stuff (and probably #NixOS stuff, realistically).
If you know someone (most likely, a small company or team) who might be interested in trialing this, please let me know!
The pitch: you get a flat-fee expert support plan for around 1800 EUR per month (final price TBD), with unlimited tickets for JS/Nix problems, including (especially!) the complicated problems. Much cheaper than hiring an expert full-time for occasional tricky issues, and less hassle than eg. hourly billing of freelancers.
I have 17+ years of experience with web development (including JS), 7 years of experience with Nix/NixOS, and 9+ years of experience with technical writing and teaching. Also a grab-bag of experience with many other (weird) things, the usual ADHD stuff.
All support tickets go through e-mail, and are answered on a best-effort basis (realistically usually same-day, but that's not a hard guarantee). Complexity of the problem doesn't matter, I'll figure it out. If it's outside of those topics, I'll try to answer it to the best of my ability, but no guarantees.
There's no limit to the amount of tickets, but of course it's not going to make sense to create tickets for simple problems, because it'll be faster to just figure it out yourself. That's how I plan to keep this sustainable on my end without having to *actively restrict* the amount of issues.
So yeah, if that sounds useful to you or someone you know, please reach out! None of the details are set in stone yet, so if something custom is needed, please do ask. You can also reach me via e-mail at info@ossworks.nl.
