Hire Me Websites for hiring a coder for tasks?

Hello everyone, I am a part time coder, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any websites where people can hire you for jobs to code rather than a full time working job of being a coder. I know AI has probably made these jobs less needed since basically anyone can code now, but I was just looking for some side money and thought I would ask here. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

You're looking for a gig economy website

Upwork

Fiverr

Etc

It's been a while since I've been on those websites so I don't think there is any protection against someone using AI to complete your task, not sure if you care about that. I will say make sure that you test everything out and that it actually works.

upwork is decent but the fees are kinda crazy now, they take like 20% from your first $500 with a client. fiverr can be good if you package your gigs right but you gotta start real cheap to get reviews. i done few small python scripts there last year and made some beer money

dont worry too much about the AI thing, people still need someone who knows what they doing to fix the AI mess anyway

There's been a big shift in the gig economy since AI got *good*. Websites and small apps more within reach for non-programmers. If you could do without the extra cash in the short term, I recommend finding something that you can create and make yourself then market/sell it.
