I went solo as an independent software developer over 15 years ago, and I never looked back. Unlike many that have gone solo, I did not want to have employees, nor create a software consultancy. I wanted a career path that provided the most flexibility without any financial cap.

In this talk, you will learn from successes and (big) failures. We will walk through how to get started, and make the things that appear to be hard, and make them crazy simple like incorporating and insurance. I will also share some not-so obvious aspects of running a solo business.
