Moved up to a higher position/salary/rate.

"More work than I can do" ---> raise your rates; econ 101.

I recommend the patio11 piece about charging more, should be easy to find at the search box at the bottom of the page.

But as mentioned, at times of slowdown expect a lower upside.

Oh yeah, I understand, last year I was indeed making boatloads of money.

Right now I'm focused on something other than making tons of money tbh. There's a job I covet, so I've been just focusing on maxxing relevant skills so I can join this elite club of extremely cool people working on this very cool thing.

But after that I'm gonna go back to money, for sure.

Btw I love your blog. That same essay "How to be a hacker" is the one I consulted as a teenager, which led me to switch from QBASIC (my first lang, on the recommendation of an IRC channel that was probably trolling me) to Python.
