У меня начался отпуск, прошло 2.5 года, как я работаю на обычной работе по найму. До этого я около 7 лет был фрилансером, а в начале этого пути запустил пару успешных собственных проектов (и пару десятков неуспешных, которые, собственно, высосали все заработанные деньги).
Некоторые разработчики хотят уйти из найма во фриланс. Кажется, что личного времени становится больше, максимально гибкий график, работай себе с берега моря. У меня обратный опыт — добровольный переход с фриланса на найм, и опыт скорее положительный.
Что стало хуже:
1. Спонтанные мероприятия теперь почти недоступны. В середине рабочего дня не поедешь к друзьям играть в настолки.
2. Как ни крути, но 30 дней отпуска в год — это прямо очень очень мало. Его неизбежно приходится разбивать на части, и каждая из этих частей очень маленькая — в длинное путешествие не съездить, собственный проект не замутить, с кучей накопившихся бытовых дел не разобраться.
3. На фрилансе ты можешь не брать заказы, которые содержат большую долю скучной для тебя работы. В найме же ты обязан брать задачи, даже если они на 80% состоят из какого-нибудь рефакторинга или написания документации.
Что стало лучше:
1. Денег стало больше. Зарплата заметно выше моего среднего дохода с фриланс-заказов. Я сильный прогер, но тратить время и внимание на поиск клиентов и заказов мне всегда было тяжело. Сейчас я конвертирую своё время в деньги эффективнее, потому что занимаюсь только разработкой и руководством другими разработчиками.
2. У меня появились выходные. Я могу не работать в выходные, и это удивительное чувство. На фрилансе формально ты можешь работать когда хочешь, но по факту хоть чуть-чуть работаешь каждый день, потому что висит очередной заказ с дедлайном. Сейчас я со спокойной совестью все выходные занимаюсь исключительно своими делами.
3. У меня пропала нервозность по поводу того, что я ещё что-то не доделал и не успею вовремя, если сейчас не сяду. Рабочий график распределяется как раз на комфортный уровень загрузки.
4. Я перестал работать по ночам, и в целом у меня нормализовался режим дня. Будучи фрилансером, я мог вставать в обед, потом сидеть до утра, и из-за этого снова долго спать. Это могло длиться месяцами. Сейчас каждое утро дейли, рабочий день начинается в одно и то же время, поэтому график у меня нормальный.
5. За 2.5 года работы в компании я прокачался в программерских скиллах как за 7 лет фриланса. Потому что на фрилансе ты плюс минус делаешь всё уже знакомым тебе способом. А вот при работе в компании есть другие разработчики, которые знают что-то, чего не знаешь ты. И есть кодревью, это очень полезная штука, причем, полезно и самому проводить, и чтобы тебе проводили.

🪨A road that collapsed near Ubud has blocked a tourist route

🚧 Authorities have completely closed the road as it was impassable for both cars and motorcycles.
📰 The Public Works Department is expected to restore the collapsed road as soon as possible. It is of great importance to locals and tourists alike. Passersby now have to make a significant detour. Farmers who used to use this route to transport their crops are also affected.

🛣Gilimanuk-Mengvi highway decided to split into three parts
📰 The Gilimanuk-Mengvi highway is in the news again. This time the authorities, apparently tired of finding investors and buying back land, decided to change their approach.
🔎 They have divided the 100-kilometer toll road into three sections and are going to work with each of them separately, namely:
Section 1: Gilimanuk-Pekutatan, which is 53.6 km long.
Section 2: Pecutatan-Soka, 24.3 km long.
Section 3: Soka-Mengvi, 18.9 km long.
📆 It is scheduled to be completed in 2028.

🛣Construction of a new highway to western Bali will resume in 2025
📰 Minister for Infrastructure Affairs Dodi Hanggoto said that construction of the Mengwi-Gilimanuk highway will continue in 2025. The minister emphasized that President Prabowo Subianto's plan to develop the north of the island, including the construction of a second airport there, cannot be fulfilled without a new road.
🔎 The road will be 97 kilometers long and the potential cost of construction is $1.58 billion. The project is now at the stage of approval of the general contractor.
📆 Also last week, Governor Wayan Koster confirmed that construction of the highway will begin in mid-2025. Until then, the local government is committed to buying the land for future construction.
ℹ️ On September 10, 2022, authorities had already announced the start of construction, but after that, the project stood up due to lack of funding. We would like to believe that the new authorities will find the necessary funds and the project will still be realized.

🛣Bali will have new bus routes and toll roads
🧳 The Kintamani region of Bali is gaining popularity with touristsand island authorities are looking for ways to make traveling to this remote area easier.
📍 The Bangli Transportation Authority has proposed adding new bus routes to Kintamani to make it easier for tourists to get there. There are plans to open a new Damri bus route that will connect Kintamani to Ubud via Payangan and Gianyar.
🪙 In southern Bali, congestion is also being tackled by building new roads. Indonesian Tourism Minister Sandiaga Uno revealed the construction of a new toll road that will connect resorts in southern Bali with northern regions. The project has been approved by the central government and a tender for construction will be held in 2025.
📆 The work will temporarily worsen traffic congestion in the Kuta, Jimbaran and Baypas Ngurah Rai and Labuan Sait areas. Travelers are advised to plan their trips in advance and take into account delays in the Bukit Peninsula area from September.

🛣Transportation changes in Bali and their implications
📆 Next month sees the launch of several infrastructure projects that, while intended to improve the traffic situation in the long term, could make it much more difficult in the short term.
These include:
1 - The start of construction of the metro, namely its first section between the airport and Kuta.
2 - The construction of two new underground interchanges: one in Sanur, at the intersection of Tohpati and Bypass, the second – the exit from Bypass towards Uluwatu.
3 - The ongoing mass paving of storm drains and sidewalks in central Bukit.
❓What should tourists do?
The solution for tourists going to Bali anytime soon is to choose self-sufficient neighborhoods where you don't have to drive anywhere and everything can be done on foot.
Plus, instead of staying for a week or more in one place, travelers divide their vacation into 3-4 days in one location and then move on to other places of interest.
A classic set might look like this: Uluwatu/Bingin for beach vacations and beautiful sunsets, Ubud for cultural vacations, and north Bali for a couple days for unique nature.

🛣Bali's big toll road project is back on the agenda
👍 One of Bali's biggest infrastructure projects resumes this month. Development teams have been given permission to proceed with work on the Gilimanuk-Mengwi toll road, which will connect the heart of the island to the far west, the Java Ferry.
In June 2024, after nearly two years of delays and postponements, the land acquisition process will be allowed to continue. Construction itself will begin as early as September.
