SEEKING WORK - US Remote (Philadelphia)

I love helping companies resurrect old Rails apps. If your app hasn't been touched in a while, has big performance problems, or just needs some new features, I'd love to help you out.

For me, reading blog posts helped build my confidence to be able to ask for higher rates—seeing that lots of other people charge over $100/hr can really help to convince yourself that you're worth that.

You are right though, that reading blog posts is not going to create that change—for me it really came the first time I said what I thought was a high rate ($135/hr), and there was no pushback at all from the client. I was kind of amazed at first that they thought I was worth it, but with one success in the bag, it gave me the confidence to move forward.
