Ask HN: How does an experienced freelancer get work? 14 years ago

To add to your tip #7: Get to know your local user group. Google "PHP/Python/RoR/etc [Insert City here]".

They might be doing monthly meetings, code sprint, bug squashing parties, or just enjoying a beer once in a while. That allows you to stay on top of what is going locally, get to know other freelancers, grow your network and have fun!

Announcing mails_viewer - easiest way to test mails in Rails app 14 years ago

Didn't even think of searching for such application! It sure is great to be able to have an inbox-like view.

I also love using Python's integrated SMTP server.

  python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:25

This will just spit out the raw email.

Edit: you need root permission to listen on port 25. Otherwise you can use a different port > 1024.

I agree, I stopped to care during the last winter Olympic in Vancouver.
