By top freelancer developer I mean someone who is in the top 0.1% in terms of income. Generally speaking the difference of skill between someone in the top 0.1% and someone in the lower 1% is as big as the difference between lower 1% and the average dev.
I was exaggerating when I said i’ll pester them nonstop. Usually people in the 0.1% exude value whatever they do or wherever they go, so just stalking them a bit and their past work would answer 98% of the questions you can have and is extremely beneficial if you’re a newbie to have someone like that to compare yourself to.
