The more I think about freelance work, the more I come to the conclusion that we all need to start specializing.
Every business needs a set of unique attributes, and many people are creating freelance businesses. How can people possibly compete effectively without becoming _very_ good at least part of their job description?
I know that many of us like to think of ourselves as capable of tackling everything, but in reality it's very difficult to wear five different hats.
I'd like to see networks develop which allow developers and specialists to effectively work with each other in more specific capacities without needing to form permanent business structures.
I'm fairly certain that this is the way the labour market is headed - but Ip think it would be useful to be able to make the process of partnering with other freelancers more democratic.
In the future, I think there's a strong chance that we're all going to end up as specialists - I'd like it if there was a network / site / application that allowed these informal working arrangements to function well.
