Is that really how much VC dilutes you? From 94 > 37% series A is incredible, and ending up with 12.5%. I wouldn't exactly be crying into my beer today if I was them, but I have to…

Is freelancing really viable for developers? It obviously works for writers, designers, artists etc, but for various reasons, I've always been skeptical about whether the work woul…
