Hi, I've been bulding web automation tools for my clients since 2024. I wished there was a tool that checks the target website's bot protection system. Then I built it for myself. Package is called 'doorknock'. I think it helps other developers who wants to quick check the target website.
Hello everyone.
​
As a newbie freelancer, I always wanted to know "Am I competing with experienced freelancers who's already earned like 50k-100k or all of my competitors are newcomer freelancers?"
​
That would be great to get answer to my question from a experienced clients of Upwork🙏
Hi, I'm a freelancer on Upwork, recently I noticed that clients love spending frelancer's money and time. Have been sending proposals to many clients and 95% of them are just getting ignored. Is it that hard to reject proposals? So freelancers can get their connects back.
I would like to get information about this. Currently im involved in one of the epam's course, what benefits I will get after completing it?
Hi guys
I am 19 years old and currently studying Software Development at PDP University (2nd year out of 4). Recently I got LinkedIn Premium and started taking my job search more seriously, but honestly I'm not sure if my profile is good enough yet.
I don't come from a wealthy family, so my goal is pretty simple: find a stable job, gain experience, become financially independent, and eventually build a long-term career as a backend developer.
My strongest skills are Python, Playwright, browser automation, web scraping, API development, and building desktop applications. I've completed freelance projects through Upwork where I scraped data for clients, exported it to Excel/Google Sheets, and sometimes integrated it directly into their databases. I also built a Python library that analyzes how difficult a website is to scrape based on its behavior.
I have GitHub, LinkedIn, and a portfolio of projects, but I have no official company experience or internships. My SQL skills are probably below where they should be for backend development, and that's something I'm actively working on.
I prefer backend development over data analytics, business, or finance. I enjoy solving technical problems, building systems, writing documentation, and seeing my code used in production. Long-term I would like to become a Python Backend Developer.
Salary-wise, I'd be happy with $300–500/month for my first role if it provides learning opportunities and career growth.
For people already working in software development: what would you do if you were in my position? Should I focus on internships, junior backend roles, building more projects, improving SQL, or something else entirely?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks for reading.
