An early #OneGoodThing today:

I got an offer of a reviewing project today with a new client, starting on Monday, and I said yes!

Fellow freelancers: What software are you using for Making Tax Digital? I am going to have to change software from April but there are so many options that I have no idea where to start. The only one someone has mentioned is Xero but that seems geared towards larger businesses - I am a sole trader, not registered for VAT, raising 3-6 invoices a month.

(I want to know what people are *using*, not what they've heard of or have a referral code for)

We talk a lot about the sustainability of open source. We rarely talk about the geography of it 🌍

I’ve had three separate messages this week from users trying to support my work on BuyMeACoffee, only to have the transactions fail. The reality of being in India right now is that while my code pushes to global repos, our payment gateways are stuck behind some very heavy archaic regulatory friction.

Stripe is effectively out.

I refuse to believe there isn't a clean solution. Looking for a gateway that actually works today.

If you are a FOSS maintainer outside the US/EU bubble, how are you bypassing the friction? 🙏

I'm looking for a reliable, low-friction way to handle one-time and monthly support. The current system is punishing users who just want to say "thanks." 😔

Thinking of full-time freelancing? It offers freedom but demands discipline. Balance the pros of flexibility against the cons of income instability. Learn the reality of self-employment and discover if you’re ready to be your own boss. #Freelancing https://zurl.co/1UAfp

I currently have capacity for up to 20 hours per month for development, consultancy or directorships. If you want someone to maintain your web application (or know someone who does), or feed into the strategy of the business (IT-focused but I'm also good at the commercial side), please get in touch.

(one of my goals for this year is to get better at marketing myself and not downplaying my skills too much)

Just updated my hourly rate for freelance work. I've always been bad at doing this, because I don't want to lose work (especially as incoming enquiries are down), but I have been told that I undercharge and I am probably mid-market whereas my skill-set should put me in the top quarter. There are lots of PHP developers out there but I don't think many have my commercial skills and attention to detail (e.g. documentation and business continuity).

I think I'll probably do freelance web dev as my next job. I'm aware it's a competitive market out there right now, but I'm confident I can find ways to stand out and build a solid brand and a list of clients. I'd just really love to be able to do my own thing rather than keep chugging away doing office work.

2025 in review: doing my small part to document an experiment in national self-harm

I had thought that 2017’s introduction to President Trump’s chaos, corruption and cruelty would be an adequate preparation for the 2025 sequel that American voters ordered up in a vote that I may never be able to understand fully. I was wrong.

That foolish choice has given us “this moral slum of an administration,” to quote noted liberal squish George F. Will: fascism-curious contempt for Constitutional limits on presidential power, trampled human rights at home and abroad for the sake of a racist and isolationist agenda, a pointless ransacking of useful government agencies that among other costs has probably left hundreds of thousands of people dead overseas, economically and scientifically ignorant policies like up-and-down tariffs and ordering obsolete coal power plants to stay online while trying to strangle offshore wind power, the most openly corrupt White House in history, and a cringe-inducing cult of personality that invites comparisons to North Korea.

I also did not expect so many Republicans to hold their political manhood cheap and sign off on even the stupidest ideas of their Dear Leader, which is how we now have a Confederacy-whitewashing, war-crime cheerleader lording over the Department of Defense and a science-denying quack hijacking the Department of Health and Human Services.

Nor did I predict that we would see so many tech CEOs not only nod politely but grovel for favor before this administration.

(To judge from the beatings that Republican candidates have received in elections this year–in particular, in the state of my birth and in the state of my choice–many Trump voters also didn’t expect this state of affairs and can no longer endorse it.)

My own lot this year seems strikingly easy: I haven’t had to learn what tear gas smells or tastes like, had my job DOGEd out of existence, or seen friends or family members thrown into a foreign gulag. Nor have I had a single client ask me to go easy on this administration in a story or edit my copy to ensure that I would.

I have had the usual struggles of freelancing, both in the sense of managing my time and in terms of managing my client relationships (I did much better at selling to Fast Company but once again dropped the ball with AARP). But I learned a lot, found purpose in sharing what I learned even when it was bad news, and had some fun along the way–including rides on such interesting modes of transportation as a Zoox robotaxi, Arc and Candela battery-electric sport boats, and the USPS’s duckface Next Generation Delivery Vehicle.

Out of the hundreds of stories I wrote this year, these 10 stand out to me as I look back at my own 2025.

• In February, I returned to a topic that I’ve been covering since 2018 in a post for PCMag documenting 8K TV’s embarrassing lack of appeal to consumers who smartly value price above resolution specifications.
• After years of meaning to tee off on Venmo’s horrible privacy settings, I finally wrote that piece in April for Fast Company–in the process, learning that even privacy professionals can miss some of that payments app’s data-leaking defaults.
• In June, I made my first appearance in the Virginia Mercury to write about Richmond’s overdue recognition that ceding online tax prep to Intuit and its ilk in 2010 was a dismal failure. It feels great when you see a gap in news coverage of where you live, then fill it yourself.
• In a July post for PCMag, I broke down how the GOP’s fossil-fuel fetishists were killing off the Inflation Reduction Act’s tax credits for clean-energy purchases–and how many states still had not put in place their own mechanisms to claim some of these expiring incentives.
• I wrote a great many posts about Trump announcements, and each time I tried to provide useful context to help readers judge them independently. Among all those, I particularly like the unpacking of Trump’s “AI Action Plan” that I did in a post later in July for PCMag.
• Sitting down to talk to some managers of the Black Hat cybersecurity conference’s network for PCMag yielded a small lesson about the need for a little empathy in information security.
• In September, I returned to Berlin’s Stasi Museum for the first time since my 2018 introduction to it and had to point out to PCMag readers how I now saw uncomfortable parallels with certain aspects of American politics today.
• Reporting a story for Worth magazine published online in September about the energy use of AI data centers opened my eyes to how certain AI providers don’t want to talk about where they get the electricity for these sprawling facilities or how they plan to avoid stiffing existing ratepayers in the process.
• I spent more time than I expected finding people willing to talk about how the Trump administration’s indifferent and sometimes inept approach to cybersecurity is weakening the nation’s defenses, but that piece finally ran in Fast Company in October.
• Also in October, Fast Co. ran my longest story there yet about how Amtrak’s NextGen Acela remains stuck on previous-generation infrastructure–and how high-speed rail projects throughout the U.S. have been held back by an unwillingness to steal the best practices of other countries.

AI figured in much of my coverage and played an even larger role in my side hustle of moderating panels at conferences. That technology may be eating away at the underpinnings of my industry, but in the short term it has been a boost to my traveling on other people’s money.

This year, those trips and the ones I bankrolled myself introduced me to four new airports and one country, also taking me farther east from home than I’d ever traveled before. I liked seeing new places, making new connections there, and running into old friends along the way, but as ever I especially liked coming home after each of these often-tiring adventures.

(You can see a map of those flights after the jump; just looking at that may make you feel tired.)

I created the map below at the Great Circle Mapper site, following the instructions Tiffany Funk first shared in 2016 at the One Mile At A Time blog. The predominant shade of blue represents flights on United Airlines and codeshare and same-itinerary flights on Azul, GOL and Lufthansa; other colors, some of which may be difficult to differentiate, represent Alaska Airlines and Lufthansa (other hues of blue); American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Swiss International Air Lines, and Turkish Airlines (various shades of red); Qatar Airways (burgundy); and TAP Air Portugal (green).

Time to do quarterly taxes first time since I've become a self-employed taxpayer in Hungary.

Me: shouldn't be too hard, in the end I'm in one of the simplified tax schemes.

Tax authority: please fill this form with 437 fields.

Me: 🤯 😡 🖕💥
