  • 1- start an llc (pretty easy can be done online in about 20 min) 2- get jobs

    Part two is the tougher one. I’ve read that a lot of programmers are selling their services on fiverr (a pretty big freelancing site) to fix AI slop.

    There’s also dice.com (Though this may be more consulting/contracting than freelancing). You can filter by and get corp-to-corp contracts. These mean your llc gets paid, and then you pay yourself from that. The pay for a corp-to-corp is typically higher than a W2 because everything is included, and you have to deal with it all. Like benefits, bonuses, vacation days, supplies, etc.











  • I’m in a much better place at 43 than 33. My finances are better, my kids are older and much less maintenance. I have way more free time now. I remember fighting for 30min one or twice a week to game for a little bit and feeling guilty after (had 4 kids under 10). Now? I game almost every day if I want. I actually get a little bored sometimes. It’s luxurious. My body doesn’t feel much different either. Bit slower healing, but I love my 40s. Don’t make me go back.
