-
Agreed · 5d agoGPT will not replace senior writers. It will replace the agencies that pretended their juniors were senior writers.

-
Disagreed · 1w agoIf your freelance proposal is more than one page nobody is reading it. Including the client who hired you.
-
Agreed · 1w agoHourly billing makes you slower. Project pricing makes you sharper. Retainer makes you complacent.
