ሰላም! 👋

I'm Zeamanuel, and I'm researching how Ethiopian freelancers work with local clients.

I'm looking for freelancers (graphic designers, web developers, content writers, photographers, social media managers, etc.) who:

📌 Have 1-5 years freelancing experience
📌 Work with Ethiopian clients (not just international)
📌 Recently completed a project (last 3 months)
📌 Have faced payment delays OR work without written contracts

🎁 Gift for participating:
- Ethio Telecom: 2800 Minutes + 20 GB
- Safaricom: 40 GB

It's just a 60-minute conversation - no selling, just honest questions about your experience.

Your insights will help build Hisab, a tool designed specifically for Ethiopian freelancers.

Interested? DM me or comment below!

Something I wanted to talk about for sometime is vim.lsp, the new vim/nvim approach to integrating language servers.

Basically, in the new approach, you'll have to create a new lsp/ 📂
Folder at the root of your config. In that folder you put a lua table of the configs for each language server you want.

For example, if you wanted to configure ts_ls (typenoscript language server), you'll create a ts_ls.lua file in this directory.

Then, you'll put code that looks like this:

{
   cmd = {"typenoscript-language-server"},
   settings = { <specific settings for ts_ls> }
}

Once you do this, you go to your init.lua file, if you're using lazy.nvim, and you just put the line:

vim.lsp.enable "ts_ls"

That's it!

NOTE: You should include the path to the lsp binary in your settings if you downloaded it manually. The above method works if you downloaded it with mason.nvim

So I broke the drivers flash in the taxi , while we were megafating for the gabina

The podcast was a whole gem, fr. Learned a lot from @eyuelzerostuff… even picked up a few quotes 😂

As a beginner dev, my real job right now is to spot problems and solve them , pushing myself with a specific stack until I can confidently call myself “intermediate.”

One of the biggest topics we covered was pricing.
Setting prices as a beginner is tough because we don’t really know our worth yet. The solution he shared was simple but powerful:
“Set your price based on the market benchmark.”

So I wanted to create something meaningful around that.

Right now I’m learning TypeScript and some backend concepts (used both in my latest project 🫀), and that’s when the idea hit me:

Why not build a platform that helps freelancers figure out the right price for their work?

I KNOW I’m not the first person to think about this or attempt it , but that’s not the point.
The goal is to learn by building real projects… that’s how we gain actual experience.

The idea is simple:
You upload your work -- AI scans the web -- it gives you a price range for international AND local clients, based on your level and the project type.

I don’t want this to be “just another side project.”
I want it to hit.
I might even integrate the 18 HOURS concept into it too.

And here’s a wild idea I’m considering:
What if the platform also came with a phone widget that shows your “dev value” right on your home screen?
(I have no clue how to build widgets yet… but we’ll learn it 😭🔥)

If you have feature ideas you think I should add, drop them in the comments .. I’ll appreciate it big time.

Have an amazing day, family ❤️
