A guide to freelancing in Finland

This is great. How many people have solved similar problems to this and not written anything down? How often are the same problems solved, over and over again? You did a great service and I hope it catches on.

I'm just wondering, will the people who would benefit the most from your guide actually find it?

I have to be explicit as I have been in my guide [1] that I did it for both selfish and selfless reasons. So it has not been done in pure good will :), but I think it can be thought of as maybe a good sweet spot of serving the community and benefitting from it at the same time.

About finding it, yes. It's gotten #1 on /Finland subreddit, I myself have an extensive network in Finland, and it's gone relatively big on twitter and linkedin. So given the size of Finland and the software dev community, I think word of the mouth will eventually spread it to most people who are interested in freelancing.
