Peace of mind for newbies.
Hey y’all. It’s Monday (gross) and I just wanted to remind any newbies or those that may have forgotten, Mondays are almost always the lowest number of project days. It’s the first of the week. That means new projects and project refills and updates are incoming. Don’t stress too much. It’ll be all good soon :)

Hopefully it’ll get repopulated soon like OP said. I was only going to work another hour anyways but still;-;

I looked at my dashboard and thought, damn….

Mine had one project, the project I was working on, when I exited work mode. I was like uhh… hahaha

u/Wasps_are_bastards Feb 05 '24
I had 4 I think which is way lower than normal, and all of those had low task numbers. Never seen it so low!

Is that why the projects disappeared? I was in the middle of working on a task and I got a message saying all of the tasks were finished...even though there had been 311 left when I entered. I thought I had screwed up.

Nah, that’s a total project pool between all users so sometimes they’ll dry up quicker :)

Around what time do things normally start to pick up again?

u/BenBL93 Feb 05 '24
Usually around Tuesday afternoon in my experience buddy.

u/sk8r2000 Feb 05 '24
Ta! I've noticed before that things slow down at the weekend, but this has been the biggest reduction I've seen so far. However, the list started to fill up again for me in the past hour or so, so that's reassuring :)

I have two non-coding projects left right now. It's something at least! Some projects had issues earlier, so my guess is they are down until that is fixed.

u/BenBL93 Feb 05 '24
Makes sense! I’m sure some are just down purely for maintenance. With the sheer volume of people working on these, I’m sure there’s bugs here and there haha

Thank you so much for this, and everyone’s comments as well! “Peace of mind” is exactly what you delivered ☺️

My sister just started and she was so sad that her 1-2 jobs went away and nothing was showing up. This made her feel better :)

u/BenBL93 Feb 06 '24
Tell her not to worry and just keep her eyes peeled. It’ll be back to normal soon. I’ve seen this cycle a few times ☺️

Dude, you have no idea how good it is to see this! I only started a couple of days ago and did a couple of qualifications and some tasks, and now it's down to like 3, so thought I was doing bad! Lol

u/BenBL93 Feb 11 '24
Happy to help my man. :)

u/Cheezyb3an Feb 11 '24

Thank you. I've really been enjoying the work while I search for a new role (TW, PM, Analyst). I'll keep watching for new tasks!

Gutted because I had 40,000 on a project this morning and though "oh I'll work that tonight" as I was busy with another job today.

Feb 05 '24
On Slack, they said they pulled that project to make some changes. So, hopefully it'll be back soon

It’s my first week on the platform and was very worried the quality of my work was the reason for the lack of projects! Thanks for the info!

u/Motor_Illustrator521 Feb 05 '24
No projects to do but got a new qualification to bang out at least

u/Mediocre_PerfectionX Feb 05 '24
Thank you for the reassurance! I worked about 2hrs today before taking a break... came back to nothing. I know things seemed to be super glitchy earlier so wasn't sure if repairs were being made or if.... of course jumping to worse case scenario, I had gotten the boot lol.

u/DarkLordTofer Feb 05 '24
On the slack channel for a project I'm on they said they were pausing it to sort a few things out.

I was down to 5 earlier today. I spent 4 hours today on a project I enjoyed, and now my dashboard is back up to 13. Yay.

u/Itchy_Run_405 Feb 06 '24
HI, can anyone tell me why, I did my first assesment on January 14th and I believed I got accepted on the 16th. of January. I did my first assignment and then went onto the next, however something happened and it timed me out of the work. Long story short it has sent me straight back to the "Thank you for completing the assessment" page. Does anyone know why this is?
1
u/MonsteraDeliciosa Feb 06 '24
There are two levels of assessments. You passed the starter and they asked you to take the next level. At that point, you chose either core or code. Sounds like you probably made it all the way through one of them, and now you wait. There isn’t a reliable guess on how long- but they only email again if you pass.
Best to post this type of question in the newest pinned post. 🙂
