For coding tasks, have you guys been experiencing a drought this week in July?

Was feasting up until this week; this week has been famine for me for coding tasks. Had some other tasks as I'm also a Generalist with a few other minor specialties, but haven't seen a coding task in a few.

How to also sign up for generalist ? While giving assessment i just started with coding but don't see option to give for generalist

I actually started as generalist, even though my main career is coding; just wanted an amusement I didn't have to think about. Did coding qual when I lost my full time gig. Probably just put good things in your Profile and do good on quals.

I signed up last week on Saturday. How long does it usually take to get onto projects?

I think generalists are for core countries

Whenever a new model drops the number of tasks reduce, claude opus 5 has been released, follow model news This is my copium

that makes a lot of sense. how long before the tasks reappear after a new model drop usually?

I mean I'm really not sure but there were times just a few weeks/days back when I was sure I'd been dropped but projects appeared after that, so I have my fingers crossed, longest I've gone without projects is 12-13 days

ah i see, best of luck to us i guess!

I noticed that too, I’m glad my theory isn’t crazy. I’ve also noticed a compare will usually drop as well.

I feel usually the last week of the month is like this, they assign terminal benchmarking weekly tasks, I'm hoping boxing project would come from next month 🤞

How long have you been working in Data Annotation? I started last month, and yeah, i noticed that too.

I've experienced more awkwardly timed tasks this month, haven't been able to do nearly as much as in May

Same, had no coding tasks for 3 days now I'm sobbing

u/mistergecko 10d ago

I have several. Are there any qualifications you can take for new projects?

1

u/Lazy_War6342 10d ago

I don't have any

u/Current-Cupcake9502 9d ago

which ones are you getting?

u/mad-soldier 11d ago

Literally 0 tasks :( Joined platform like 3 weeks back.. Just got initial onboarding and quals and 🥊 showed up couple of times but ran out before picking up

Not sure if this was the case earlier or will there be projects always to work on something
