Thought it was only me. What exactly is happening?
My question exactly. The site’s never been down for the couple of years I’ve been using it. Very peculiar!
what type of freelancing gigs are you occupied with? that make you money
good question…followiing
yaani hamwes code bila stackoverflow?
Web and Android development.
Stack overflow was officially sold jana to Prosus, a subsidiary of Naspers ya South Africa for $ 1.8B.
Expect some changes and monetization of the same.
Obviously first culprits ni wa kutumia VPNs
Do u get the gigs directly from stack? What languages do you specialize in
someone somewhere is busy enjoying on a yacht… but I hope it will be much better. Because of StackOverflow I can say I know to code
Nope. I’m yet to land a gig from Stackoveflow and remote jobs websites (because I haven’t tried yet). Lots of local businesses need custom software solutions. The pay may be measly but it helps you gain a footing in the industry, as you work towards building your brand and landing big jobs.
I use JS (Vanilla), NodeJS, PHP, Python (Django) and React for web, React Native and Kotlin for Android. I’m still learning though, nowhere close to calling myself the ultimate expert.
Ndo ilikusaidia kudevelop iyo site yako?
hehe…and many more chini ya maji
gringe ya stack
3 back end tools wueh, I’d pick one and perfect it.
I’m with you on this one. I hope to specialize in NodeJS but I’ve realized this industry needs a bit of versatility. The good old elephant has been steadily falling out of favor with the dev community in response to growing demand for skills in the likes of Ruby and Node. I did a Google Trends comparison sometime last year after coding for a while in PHP. I got results similar to the ones below and I realized I had to switch to a different language or stack.

I’m mainly coding in NodeJS but still maintaining a dalliance with Python (I love it for the myriad ways it can be used, from web-scraping to pen-testing).
You can never go wrong with Node or Python. I personally work with Python(Django, Flask, FastApi) and JavaScript( Angular, Vue, Ionic). Began DevOps and am loving it.
