I have got a few but that was many years ago, I also have friends who have shared that they got nice gigs from hn threads.

If you look at the post history, there were barely any "SEEKING FREELANCER" messages which is likely the reason why this auto-post was stopped.

Senior engineer with 10+ years of experience, while Scala is my strongest language, I'm a generalist and have shipped production code in Rust, Java, TypeScript, Ruby, and more. I'm keen on picking up new tools.

I believe in using the right tool for each task. Strong infrastructure background (AWS, cloud-native, distributed systems). US C-Corp for contracting.

I've attempted to bootstrap products myself so I understand what it takes beyond writing code. I take full ownership end to end, I don't wait to be told what needs solving.

Immediate availability because my whole team was laid off recently, I'm used to work on US timezones. Open to senior IC or tech lead roles.

P.S: I also have decent experience leveraging AI to speed up my work, not vibe coding but holding AI-hands like I'd typically do with junior devs. I also have built multiple AI integrations.

I found it easier to create a fine-grained github token with minimal scope/permissions for the tasks I intend to delegate.

For context, I'm running multiple agents and each of them is isolated with its own token.

My whole team got laid off recently and I have been in constant communication with them, I also have multiple friends who got laid off this year who shared the pain it has been to get a new role,

Market seems better than the last few years but it still does not feels right to me,

We have got multiple people reaching out but the majority of the roles are in-office or hybrid while I work fully remotely.

I posted on LinkedIn, with the help from friends I got quite a lot of visibility (most viral post I have ever had) but still, out of the ~10 recruiters that reached out, only 2 are remote roles, I also got a few offers to work for equity only.

I posted on the monthly "Who's wants to be hired?" thread, it has lead to a few offers to work for equity only + shady people that want me to attend calls and "delegate" the work to them while splitting the revenue.

I have also got a few referrals and even for these, they are moving slowly.

To put it in perspective, years before I'd easily get 10 recruiters in my inbox per week,

Market seems tough and I can't imagine what junior people are passing through while trying to get a job.

EDIT: I forgot mentioning the people reaching out with promising offers and the intention of getting me to run their malware hidden in coding challenges.

Not a job but I got a contract due to a webapp template I have in my github profile, my customer shared that he wanted someone that wouldn't start from scratch and my template looked good enough to get the job done.
