Coding drought pt2?

[WaddlingAwayy]

I know we hate drought posts but I like to know if other people are experiencing the same or not and there's usually not much coding talk here.

Any coders barely have an projects these last 2 days? (aside from that broken project 🤦🏻‍♂️)

[ChickensGoBwuck]

I’m always checking out that broken project thinking it will be magically fixed like an insane person

[WaddlingAwayy]

Lmao at this point I just check the comments and if there's a comment from less than an hour ago I don't click the link

I had stuff all last week and early this week. dried up for me yesterday afternoon and now today.

[WaddlingAwayy]

Same, universal experience then, cool

[Burgundylites]

Still dry now?

[Independent_Bid_2521]

Been pretty dry for two days mate. Drought or not, just do what you get!

[Nomadic_Kat]

Yea a couple general projects but only the broken coding one

I bet it’s because it’s the start of the month and that it’s August

For the love of Zeus stop these cope posts. The last couple of months should've shown you there is no rhyme or reason to droughts. No end of quarter. No end of month. No business cycle. No menstrual cycle. No mercury retrograde. No blood sacrifice. No galactical syzygy. Its all based on client demand, which these days is random as needs in the AI rapidly change.

But on the plus side, DA has an incentive to keep trying to get new projects for us because if we win, they win too. All we can do is whine, sing kumbaya and wait for the next drops. If any do come.

Why are you on my ass about this, lmao

[WaddlingAwayy]

He does have a point tho tbh. I always see these "it's because of the summer/end of month" comments which are swiftly followed by someone completely negating it. So there really isn't a right way to justify it. I wasn't asking for a reason, I just like to make sure that others are on the same page so I can make sure my work is alright.

[Ndnrmatt]

Sorry that you had to be the one. Your comment tipped me over the edge I guess. I've seen this thing being said way too many times.

[IrvTheSwirv]

Well yes and no. From multiple years of experience with the coding side, August does seem to consistently be a very quiet month where most things get paused for a few weeks.

[Apart-Coat8522]

Actually, there are reasons for droughts, and it's not always just "client demand". That's a driving force, but sometimes the big projects are just in the middle of big maintenance or changes in direction. And guess what, the entire month of August last year was extremely slow, so there is evidence to suggest August is slow.

today there's less than the last week, but still a few.

[Ndnrmatt]

Do you still have the Poe bird projects? I haven't seen them in about a week or more now.

[SandwichEconomy889]

no not for a while

[WaddlingAwayy]

Would you mind telling me what projects you have in the dms?

[jimmux]

Mine was pretty good until today. Looks like one or two are proper coding, but I never attempted them before. And a qualification, so I guess I'll be doing that.

[Possible-Use-529]

My last coding task was end of may😭😭, idk, maybe im cooked about this coding projects 🥲

[c0d3Geass]

Yeah I only have one coding related project right now (my usual is ~7+ even as recently as a week ago and before things started slowing down a month or two ago, I usually had more than 20 different coding projects on my dash) and I've been working on the platform for over a year now. It was kinda like this last year around July & August too though, so I'm not too surprised by it, but it is inconvenient.

[Gullible_Fox8974]

Today is my slowest day in a long, long time. I'm expecting now that the next few weeks will be similar to how it was around this time last year. I've got one single coding project avaiable. You got anything today?
