Johanna Eriksson – Freelance Web Developer

Java, PHP, Python, MySQL, AJAX, JQuery, HTML, XML, CSS

Lonely coding

Coding all alone can be a problem. There are plenty of developer communities online, but sometimes I get stuck and just need a fresh pair of eyes to take a look at my code. I like working alone, but I also believe in code reviews and pair programming and that’s often not an option for me these days.

Yesterday I’d been struggling with a stupid SQLAlchemy error for hours and the error logs basically said “doing a rollback, something went WRONG”. The more the feeling of resignation came crawling, the smaller the chance of effective debugging. Before freelancing, when I always had a bunch of developers around, I would simply have asked one of them.

Luckily I have in-house expertise, living with a developer, but how do freelancers normally solve this problem?
