How do I write a resume as a high school student and freelance dev?
I am a student in high school who was always interested in software. I do a lot of open source work in Rust, ReactJS, and Ruby, and am an active contributor to some big open-source projects. I am very active in online platforms (github, hackernews, stackoverflow, my blog), but have never revealed my age. I recently got into freelance software development and have only worked with one client. A potential client asked me for a resume. How do I write a resume without having graduating high school and having worked with only one client?

If you've got projects and significant open source contributions, thats some of the best resume material out there. I can't speak for others, but I don't ever pay attention to degree or uni stuff during our hiring rounds. Whats most important is being able to see a project, check out the link (or repo) and clearly understand ones contributions. But don't inflate it -- be honest. If you're truly active on Github, focus on that, which is clearly a strength.

Well, you asked. Don't post the same question twice. Also, your importunity
is starting to look a lot like a humblebrag. You're a 14yo who commands a
market presence I couldn't until I was 22. Pats back
A resume is your opportunity to showcase what you feel is your best look. If you are concerned that a traditional resume might not be your best look, then offer to provide references or perhaps a portfolio showcasing your work.
