I'm a full stack engineer with a bias toward the front-end. Web performance optimization, accessibility, and all that jazz.

Wow! You're all in on the distance. I have about 50 races under my belt, but nothing over 10 miles. Good luck!

What distance? Have you run an obstacle course race before? They are so much fun.

I would check contractrates.fyi. Ultimately, I think it depends on if US rate just means currency or if it also means geolocation, how much experience the person has, and how much mentoring you will provide.

I was thinking about what I would do if not for the software thing. Nothing pays as well but I would be a guitar teacher, bartender at a swanky cocktail bar, or fitness instructor.

Nice. I'll contribute this one that I use to find hot spots that change frequently and may need refactoring.

I learned a lot at the onset of my career with 2, but now that I have so many projects under my belt, I prefer 1. I usually need to fill a few gaps and don't need a from scratch tutorial.
