I’m a senior ML/Dev with top accounts on freelance platforms. I cannot land a gig because automated platforms have flooded clients’ attention, despite being able to for years. Clients complain as well that they cannot find a workforce because of the AI slop shield. Imagine, you post a job on Upwork and bots get you on LinkedIn in a few minutes. What do you guys do? How do you search for gigs now?
I’ve had similar experiences with freelance platforms, and as a client, I can confirm what you’re saying. I felt like I was being flooded from all sides, which made the whole experience less enjoyable and made it harder to trust the process. IMHO, the old freelance marketplace model is broken.
use console AI coders with some free/base subscriptions, as your teachers+practitioners - its amazing how they answer questions now and speedup learning.

Thats unfortunate. And how to fix it - not a trivial one.
I don't have a proper job right now and I'm getting older.
I've been studying AI on my own but it's still very difficult.
I really respect developers and I'm amazed by what they can do.
