Any freelance dev that works alone, no employer? How does it work for you? - Lemmy.World

Where do you find demands to make money? Do you have recurring clients or something? What kind of projects do you do and preferred stack to work alone?

I was a freelance/contract dev that over a year ago transitioned to a sort of code review for AI/LLMs type deal with companies. I make more money doing this than dev work. Essentially I review the slop that their vibe coders churn out and tell them how it’s not going to work and everything that’s wrong with it and then 9 times out of 10 suggest a complete rebuild without utilizing AI.

that’s it. that’s all I’m doing now. I have so much more free time and I’m making way more than I was previously. Majority of my new clients come from linkedin via tech bro posts.
