Ask HN: How's Business These Days for Upwork Freelancers? I wonder if or how AI-assistance might be used more these days. By either the freelancers in delivering their services, or by buyers who might be figuring they don't need to hire a freelancer for whatever reason these days. |
It's dead. Noting to look at. It's not AI or interest rates, as it seems, the very dream of "getting rich quick through building a software product being a complete outsider" has waned, and people are no longer trying. Of course, it never worked. But it made money.

So i don't mean people like YC founders (i wouldn't even talk to one if i met them - surely there won't be money to make there). These are mostly, people from different spheres completely who just walked into money for some irrelevant reason and decided to start something online, out of random. For almost all of my clients, mine was their first, and last, software project ever.
God forbid you should overexert yourself and burn out ;)
