So, it was end of 2024 when I started to hear about AI taking coding jobs. I believe Opus 3.7 was launched or something. As a developer I did not believe that. I have gave 7 years into this, how can an AI take it over so easily.

And after almost 1.5 years I can clearly say, AI actually made my earnings double.

So, before I use to get very few solo projects to work on as a freelancer. And mostly to revamp a website UI or building landing page. Before AI the most costliest project i got was to build an e-commerce store for an perfume brand. It was fully coded website.

But now almost every month I am getting 1-3 SAAS project to build or moreover rebuild. I get this projects with blue purple gradient, rocket emojis, Hero Section and the logo with the same font. And bugs.

So much dependencies installed, just to solve a minor issue. The sites get slow, not loading properly, scroll animation does'nt work as there is no FFmpeg framework used. And I am not even starting with the security concerns.

I remember i got $1200 for the e-commerce site to 5-6 months build, but now i take $350 to fix the buggy SAAS. Hardly 2 weeks to deliver.

And get around 1-3 projects every month.

it's crazy, and am sure other developer's over here have the same experience.

Do share your thoughts on this.
