In r/webdev and r/startups, solo builders frame success as handling discovery, communication, and operations, not just shipping code, and some warn that solo dev means doing many roles at once.
honestly the biggest thing I wish I knew starting out is that coding is only like 50% of the job.
underrstanding the client's actual busines problem and being able to explain technical debt in plain English is what actually gets you promoted or lands the high-paying freelance gigs.
Solo Deving is not for everyone. Because it is 10 jobs in one!
