    This was a great talk, @Adam!

    I have a question from my end related to income metrics to you:
    What kind of rate jumps did you do after each job?
    My profile has been rising by 5$ after every project. Started at 15, then 20, 25, now 30… and I feel like after 2k hours put in, i will die before I can reach 500$/h
