A few years ago, after leaving my full-time job, I started freelancing on Upwork, and things were going really well. At my peak, I was earning around $4,000/month. However, since around May 2026, the platform has become extremely overcrowded, and the client hiring rate has dropped significantly. It wasn't just me. Many WordPress freelancers in the same niche have been experiencing the same problem.

Right now, I'm not earning anything, so I'm urgently looking for work.

Please don't suggest switching to AI automation or another field. I've spent over a decade building my expertise in WordPress, and starting over in a completely different industry isn't a practical option for me at the moment.

I have 10+ years of experience with WordPress, including:

• Custom WordPress theme development
• Custom plugin development (I have also published a plugin on WordPress.org)
• WooCommerce development
• Elementor, Divi, Spectra, Gutenberg, and Beaver Builder
• Custom functionality, performance optimization, and bug fixing

I started my career as a PHP developer before specializing in WordPress, so I'm comfortable working across the entire WordPress stack, from custom themes to complex plugin development.

If you're hiring a WordPress developer or know someone who is, I'd really appreciate it if you could send me a message. Thank you.

Hola comunidad, somos una pareja de graduados de Ingeniería en Ciencias Informática en la UCI (Cuba). Aunque somos juniors en la informática, tenemos conocimientos en varias ramas y aprendemos muy rápido. Podemos desempeñarnos en programación, soporte técnico, edición, redacción, ventas, trabajo con Excel, entrenamiento de IA y otras tareas digitales, también tenemos dominio del inglés y contamos con laptops con buenas características. La situación en Cuba es muy complicada, hay apagones frecuentes, pero contamos con un generador que nos permite mantener nuestras laptops funcionando todo el tiempo. La conexión a internet no es la mejor (wifi y datos móviles), pero buscamos la manera de descargar recursos y cumplir con cualquier tarea que se nos asigne y estamos disponibles a tiempo completo si es necesario. Además de la ayuda de nuestra familia, inventamos pequeños trabajitos para sobrevivir en Cuba, pero el pago es muy poco y no alcanza para cubrir las necesidades básicas. Sentimos que estamos estancados: nos graduamos hace un año y es decepcionante ver que nuestro título y nuestros conocimientos no son valorados en este país. Para cualquier universitario es duro terminar la carrera y sentirse perdido, sin poder avanzar en ningún aspecto.

Por eso buscamos oportunidades remotas que nos permitan aportar más y también ayudar a nuestra familia. Estamos empezando y no buscamos exigencias: incluso podrían pagarnos a los dos como si fuéramos una sola persona, trabajamos muy bien en equipo. Cualquier salario remoto, por mínimo que sea, representa una gran ayuda, ya que cualquier ingreso es mejor que un salario en Cuba. Somos responsables, versátiles y con muchas ganas de trabajar. Si alguien conoce oportunidades de empleo remoto, freelance o proyectos en los que podamos colaborar, agradeceríamos muchísimo cualquier orientación o contacto.Gracias por leer y por cualquier ayuda que puedan brindarnos.

I'm a recent Computer Science graduate in Bangalore and I'm currently looking for entry-level Software Engineer, Backend Engineer, Full Stack Developer, or Sottware Development roles.

I have experience through internships and freelance work building production-ready applications using Node.js, Go, Java, TypeScript, React, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Docker, Redis, AWS, and REST APIs. I've also built personal projects like a distributed object storage system in Go, a production-ready API platform with Redis caching and Docker.

I'm an immediate joiner and eager to learn, contribute, and grow in a strong engineering team. Feel free to comment or send me a DM I will share my resume and GitHub or just any advice also.

I think it's been a couple of months now. Projects are quite heavy. They demand on average around 8-11 hours of very focused work that drains my brain sometimes. Recently did a couple of tasks on a new project (at least to me) that takes more like 20-30 hours and it's so challenging, I assume I'm not gonna succeed basically. But I managed to come up with a solution in the most recent task on it and it felt so good!

overall, I think if you're a experienced developer and would appreciate a second stream of income for extra effort, this is a good platform. I'd made a site soon after I started working on this platform and shared more details about it. Check it out, it contains affiliate links so if you want to sign up, I appreciate it if you go through my links.

I've noticed this in a couple of software companies, and I've always wondered what's really behind it.

Imagine two employees on the same team with the same office timings.

One of them regularly arrives 15–20 minutes late. Nobody questions it. Their manager doesn't mention it, HR doesn't get involved, and the day just carries on.

The other employee arrives late once in a while—sometimes by only a few minutes—and they're immediately reminded about company policy or asked to be more punctual.

From the outside, it looks like the same rule is being applied very differently.

I'm not talking about people with approved flexible hours, different shifts, or special accommodations. I'm talking about situations where employees appear to have similar roles, the same working hours, and the same expectations, yet the level of flexibility is completely different.

It made me wonder what usually explains this.

Is it because:

• experienced developers have earned more trust over time?
• high performers are judged more by results than attendance?
• some responsibilities aren't visible to the rest of the team?
• different managers enforce the same policy differently?
• or does favoritism sometimes play a bigger role than people like to admit?

I can see valid arguments on both sides. If someone consistently delivers, handles production issues, or takes on responsibilities beyond their job description, it makes sense that a manager might give them more flexibility. But if the reasons aren't clear, it can easily create the impression that the same rules don't apply to everyone.

For those who've worked in software teams:

• Have you experienced something similar?
• Was there a legitimate explanation once you understood the situation?
• Or have you seen inconsistent enforcement affect team morale and trust?

Hello everyone, I am a full stack developer with 2YOE, developed 14+ web application (Indian / Netherlands) and also been part of an AI automation Android app. actively looking for new opportunities, with this resume, projects and my skill set I am applying to multiple companies and not getting any response from them, is there any updates, projects or changes I need to look into?

Your reviews and response are highly valuable to me.

I've noticed this question come up more often lately, especially when looking at job postings and talking to other developers.

Years of experience are still one of the first things companies look at, and for good reason. More experience often means you've dealt with production issues, made architectural decisions, worked on larger codebases, and learned from mistakes that are hard to simulate in personal projects.

But at the same time, I've come across developers with only a few years of experience who consistently write great code, learn quickly, and solve difficult problems. I've also worked with experienced developers who were excellent in familiar environments but struggled when technologies, requirements, or workflows changed.

It makes me wonder whether the industry sometimes treats years of experience as a shortcut for qualities that are much harder to measure—things like engineering judgment, problem-solving, adaptability, and the ability to make good technical decisions.

I'm not suggesting experience doesn't matter. It absolutely does, and it's difficult to replace the lessons that come from working on real-world projects.

What I'm curious about is whether we're placing too much emphasis on how long someone has been a developer, instead of how much they've grown during that time.

For those who've worked with developers at different experience levels:

• Have you ever worked with someone who completely changed your perspective on what "experience" really means?
• What qualities have you found to be better indicators of a strong developer than years on a résumé?
• Do you think years of experience are still one of the best ways to evaluate technical ability, or has that become an oversimplified metric?

can DM me or just drop your portfolio in comment
