I often watch video's from this channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/jsonmez It focusses on all the non-technical stuff like finding clients as a freelancer, how to learn a new programming language, become more productive etc.

Thanks everyone for the responses. It seems that forcing clients to use a particular ticket system is not a good idea.

I have now created a free account at Hubspot. Hubspot keeps track of all e-mails and calls I make to people and I can automatically add notes and tasks to each form of communication.

It's a mix.

For example, I have taken over the Wordpress hosting and management of several existing websites. They pay me a fixed fee and from time to time I adjust some things for them.

And there also ongoing projects in development where people leave feedback.

Could you please explain that further? Isn't it standard practice at a lot of companies that you raise a support ticket instead?

https://mega.nz is a popular online encrypted file sharing website. Maybe you could check if they have an affiliate program?

Tweeting about new tools or discussions is an interesting option. Thanks for the suggestion :)

I don't think as a developer that you can fully escape from crud, since nearly every application has to do some database stuff.

I recommend trying to move to a position where you don't have to code much such as QA, CTO or system architect.

Probably every major popular framework has good crud support. Most of these frameworks contain a orm that will the heavy lifting.

I don't think anyone has a specific language or platform for crud. Most people pick the one they are most familiar with.

Nice. One of the things that kept me away from the .net platform, is that the only viable development IDE is Visual Studio.

Especially on OSX and Linux. I hope that together with the new .net core initiative, .net becomes truly cross platform like Java.

I used to program a lot in C# before buying a MacBook Pro a few years ago and really liked the .net platform.
