Don't hate mail me just yet. 

“Free” work as a developer can feel like a controversial topic, but it could be the key to jump-starting your career. 

I’ll walk you through strategies for gaining credibility, building a portfolio, and turning your free work into a launchpad for your development career. 

You will learn how to:

 -Discover valuable projects, not junk work 
- Position yourself as a developer while still learning 
-Leverage open-source and freelance work for career growth 

And don’t worry, this isn’t about working for free forever—just smartly leveraging it as a stepping stone.
