You built this? I have actually used this, which means you are doing something right, because normally I don't register, I go off and build my own version. So kudos!
Last year I only had 2 projects on Elance. One has been running for 14 months now, the other for 7 months. The projects I do for local businesses are also LOB applications that run for 9 months using a full agile workflow, complete with scrum/
I wonder why everybody assumes I'm only doing small projects.
No, that is not the case. I've been a developer for nearly 20 years. I have a number of LOB applications under my belt that took years to develop. I have seen it all, but the last two years it's been a struggle.
I agree that it may have to do something with the isolation of freelancing on remote projects via the web, the rapid changes in development as a whole, and information overload.
You are right. I am totally isolated. This consumes me to a point where I sit here for 16 hours a day, learning, coding, dicking around (like another commenter said).
I know I need to break the isolation, but I fear I'm too deep into my own world. I'm The Lawnmower Man (just less evil)
