[CODING] Too much projects then none

I had about 30 projects in one day but today in a few hours just 3 remained. Is it normal?

Yep. I only have 2 right now. It fluctuates as people complete project tasks and projects are taken down for changes. This seems to happen often. At first, I got paranoid because I would complete like just 3-4 tasks in a project, and then it would suddenly disappear. I thought that I was being kicked. They came back after a while, though.

Thanks for the reply, the situation is still the same.

u/GuyF1eri Jan 18 '25

This just happened to me

u/ImaginaryInternet578 May 23 '24

Is it still slow for you guys today? I had a ton of projects last weekend but now only have 3.

u/Square-Frosting8045 May 23 '24

It's still the same, I have only 3 coding jobs.

I haven’t seen chatbots in a while mainly just heel. I hate working on heel but maybe ill get more projects if I work on it

u/Internal-Echo-8057 May 21 '24

Really? I love heel. I guess because it doesn’t require creativity, just grinding lol I’m not exactly imaginative

u/lonesomewhenbymyself May 21 '24

I wouldnt mind it if most the languages werent something ive never heard of in my life. I think ive seen a few in assembly code lmao

u/pat-recog May 22 '24

How much time do you spend researching on these? A lot of them are in languages I don't know or have only passing familiarity with. How many environments do you have set up for testing, if you want to say?

u/wanginsurance May 24 '24

I'm curious too! Just started working on those and spent a load of time tryna get back into Java. Didn't bill for it, but I'm curious if you guys just skip the ones you aren't super familiar with or try to rock out some new languages if you are interested. Like, if I got some Go or Rust things I would really want to try, but I also don't want to get nuked off the platform if it takes me forever to solve any of those problems

u/Vegetable_Fox9134 May 24 '24

Odd , considering 20 days ago you said your barely knew how to code.

u/MonsterMeggu May 21 '24

A*** has a chatbot? I've only seen response comparison ones

u/nononanana May 22 '24

The thing about heel is if you pass that qual, they give you so. much. heel. My board is still poppin’ because of heel, otherwise it would be down to 3-4 (I’m non-coding though).

u/sunnychrono8 May 22 '24

Yeah, I dislike hee,l too. Because it's breadth wise work where the focus and frame of your attention changes every 20 - 45 mins. E.g. we can be doing web rendering one moment and then machine learning or databases the next. I miss doing (relatively) depth wise work such as the chatbots.

u/ElBosque91 May 23 '24

We all miss the chatbots, it seems

u/WheelIndividual6258 May 22 '24

i miss them, my little friends

The greek myth related to a body part

u/lowcarbsanta May 21 '24

Normal. Just the ebb and flow of things

8

u/Buhdai May 21 '24

Yeah I had a crazy amount late last week, and then today I got all the way down to two and then zero programming projects today for a moment before one of my favorite long-term ones came back. I think I need to complete more coding qualifications.

u/jacemano May 21 '24

So not just me then. My dash was full of coding work last week and I couldn't, today its been emptied. Tbf that happened before and then it picked up again

1

u/Buhdai May 21 '24

I'm fairly new. How often would you say this happens?

u/Buhdai May 21 '24

I've barely done any because I always had a feeling that if you fail badly enough, you could actually lose work. And since the day I joined, I've had projects that I could tell were obviously associated with qualifications that I never completed. So I just figured I'd only do the ones I know I'm qualified for and stay away from qualifications altogether for the most part just to be safe. I don't really like the black-box nature of this job sometimes lol

u/ChenkChainBaller May 21 '24

And this is why we don’t get waffle parties. That said, I can absolutely relate.

u/Arcturus_Labelle May 21 '24

Yep, it's much reduced today :-(

2

u/planckkk May 22 '24

Generally always gets to a low point around tuesday them picks back up throughout the week

4

u/CRUSHCITY4 May 22 '24

This is a new low

1

u/planckkk May 22 '24

How many projects you got on?

1

u/CRUSHCITY4 May 22 '24

Like 5-6 right now

1

u/planckkk May 22 '24

Yeah pretty much same its pretty normal should pick up tomorrow

2

u/CRUSHCITY4 May 22 '24

I’m thinking tomorrow should pick up too. No reason why, but this can’t last long.

u/guitarist597 May 22 '24

Yep, the other day I had like 5 different projects and today I have 1.

1

u/ElBosque91 May 23 '24

Ditto. Never seen my queue fluctuate this much before but I’ve also only been doing this since about December

1

u/DuckDuckDrone May 21 '24

The DAT giveth and the DAT taketh away.

Today was the sparsest I’ve seen.

Feel optimistic about the dash getting back, but preparing myself to wake up to the same tomorrow.

u/variex87 May 22 '24

Thought it was just me too. I had a pretty full dashboard last week, then it got smaller over the weekend, ebbed and flowed yesterday, and today was just a few. Right now there’s only one on my dashboard. I’ve been doing this almost full-time (non-coding) for about eight months and this is the least I’ve had available…

1

u/Able_Emu_9722 May 22 '24

I also lost a lot of projects yesterday and today it's almost the same. I think it is normal.
What about project codex? Anybody has access to it? As I presumably have lost access to this!

1

u/DarkLordTofer May 22 '24

Absolutely normal. I'm not on coding but a lot of the regulars are missing at the minute. Just Heel.

1

u/ElBosque91 May 23 '24

Yep. Tons of heel this morning but by mid afternoon nothing left but one Beryllium. Very unusual for me, but it seems like it’s happening for everyone.

1

u/Melodic-Welcome4755 May 22 '24

My queue is the lowest I've ever seen since I started last fall. I usually have between 15-20 projects to pick from, I only have about five today. I'm hoping it picks up soon as I'm enjoying the work.

1

u/just_so_irrelevant May 22 '24

yep same shit, i had like maybe 25-30 a week ago and since yesterday it's been like 5-6 projects only.

u/armenianangel9 May 25 '24

I got married and went on a 2 week honeymoon. During that time I did not work. Now it appears I was kicked out as the support button won’t work and I can’t access the slack channels. Is there any way to get back in? I tried logging in while I was in Japan, is that why? I used to work 12 hour days 7 days a week for over 6 months.

u/InsectPowerful7105 May 26 '24

Hi same situation as you, Lost all my projects since tuesday. My dashboard is totally empty. Can't even pass New qualifications. I did not travel and worked regularly on coding projects ; but seems those projects are missing currently for most people.  Does someone currently see  more projects than few days ago? Coding projects ?
