The Wandering Pro

A reflection on the wage gap between developers and freelancers in countries like Pakistan versus the US, and why services are inherently commoditized while products are not. The post breaks down the spectrum from pure service to productized service to product, arguing that freelancers and agency workers should intentionally move toward product thinking to build leverage, escape price competition, and create income that doesn't stop when the work does. A hybrid model — using service revenue to fund product development — is presented as the practical path forward.
