  • There are a whole bunch of architecture books published by Oreilly that I have bought and plan to read. They were available for a few bucks in a previous Humble Bundle, and cover the topics:

    • Head First Software Architecture
    • Fundamentals of Software Architecture
    • Flow architectures
    • Domain-driven Design
    • Micro-services
    • Agile stuff
    • Scalable Systems
    • API Management
    • etc.

    All are available on Anna’s Archive. I like the Head First book to have an overview of architecture.
















  • I’m not a freelance but I have thought about it, and a friend of mine has been doing this for years. He’s a software project manager but developers are still popular of course.

    You will have some kind of administrative stuff to take care of. In France you can use the “portage salarial” which is a company that takes care of getting money from your clients, pays taxes, gives you a salary, and gives you some kind of healthcare and retirement program.

    You will make much more money but you have to make sure your taxes are taken care of.

    As for the clients themselves, you can have long missions (up to 3, 4, or 5 years) but most of the time it seems that my friend finds new jobs thanks to previous clients or coworkers. If you’re new, you can bootstrap your clients’ list with full-remote offers from LinkedIn or other job boards.
