@dang can you replace the link?


I tried Upwork once. Man people who hire from there are generally jerks. Their software tracks what you do for billing (with screenshots) but I didn't figure many people would require you to use it. I was wrong!


Anti-bossware. GPT3 scripts to type while you are AFK.
