I just wrote a post[0] about contracting, from the contractors perspective, and why I left my safe job for it.

IMO, developers that like a challenge and like dynamic work make good contractors. A lot of times having ambition and a passion for programming is a good sign. Many people I know do software to make a living and could care less about architectural decisions, best practices, and self-motivated skill growth.

I would be happy to help you evaluate a few contractors if you want some guidance:-)

> from ... C# to ... Clojure & React

that seems like a downgrade to me :) Do you find it easier to go self-employed with dynamic languages?

Hey! Missed this. Hmmm, to be honest, I don’t know yet. My first gig is with React and Node. I also am still working with C# too. In about 5 or 6 months I’ll have a better answer!
