Reached the next big milestone here on Contra.

And while the number matters less to me than what sits behind it, it tells me that clients trusted me and came back. That's the part I care about.

A lot of freelance work stays on the surface. Someone hands you a task and you build exactly that. I try to work differently, because I am an engineer. I do frontend and backend, but I also think about the business side and what the client actually needs, which is often not the same as what they asked for at the start.

That is the work I want to keep doing. Thanks to everyone who trusted me so far.
