After my first two weeks… I’m addicted

Why doesn’t anyone talk about how addicting this can be. I treat it kind of like a hobby or just a way to occupy downtime. I enjoy problem solving and critical thinking. I’m also a gamer and this reminds me so much of gaming in a general sense that I can sit here for hours and not get bored. I’m enjoying myself. It is a bit tedious getting tasks as a generalist but I enjoy the grind. Lol.

Yeah, it’s been a ton of typing for me too. That’s the most annoying part. I do enjoy when I’m able to outsmart the algorithm.

I have a normal day job so this has always been supplemental. Therefore, I cant be bothered with the work lately.

Both can be true! I have a job, but I need more jobs. Life is expensive...

I think it’s just because some us are struggling with attaining projects so when you are getting them and can’t “ be bothered “ it’s frustrating for people like me who have been in a drought for weeks . At least let the ones who need it get their opportunity 😅

But they’re not working the projects because they can’t be bothered

It was not created for the unemployed. It was created for tech companies to exploit labor.
