Ask HN: What are independent software contractors doing now?.

Supported by 1 story

The amount of opportunities I've found doing independent contracting for people in the last year or two has went from easily being able to find one or two leads a week to none at all for several months.It seems with AI people are just not willing to hire devs for their pet projects anymore?
