Reminder for those getting client inquiries: people asking you to run code on your system before they've given you any money is likely a scam. Get real contact info, get a face to the name, and do your best to vet the client before you start doing anything like installing packages.

@Contra HQ does a really phenomenal job of handling issues once you flag them, if they don't catch them by the time you open your messages. There's a handy 'Report' button. Best to use that and not even let the scammer know you're onto them. Stay safe, fake clients are everywhere. The only obstacle to you making more money is losing it all to a scam.

Good call on the Report button over calling them out directly, I hadn't thought about tipping off the scammer that way. Did something specific happen recently that made you write this up, or is it more a pattern you keep seeing in inquiries?

🎉 Just found out I won 1st place in #bubblefreeforall Challenge on Contra.

I've been building with Bubble since 2018. This challenge was a chance to build something outside client work, just for the fun of solving a hard problem well.

Grateful to the Bubble team for putting this together and for picking my submission.

Big thanks also to everyone who's worked with me over the years, this kind of thing doesn't happen without the projects that got me here.

For now, just enjoying the moment 🙌
