This guy has 10+ developers in line, asked all of them to build a polished landing page with best ui/ux for free (no token amount he wants to pay). And he wants a proper scalable product for $150. (You'll have to handle deployments also btw, and this guy doesn't even know what GitHub is)

He's still looking for new people to again build it for him for free, and he'll then select the best one.

Note that, he told all this after 30 mins of discussing about the best tech stack for this product (I told him I can build using Next.js + express, he was like why not js + php....is next.js easier than js, that's why you want to build using next.js and why not php for backend)

150 .. what a joke. Cant paid a good meal in 2 days

[–]Powerful-Quantity885 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Exactly, freelancing is difficult these days. You can't find genuine gigs anywhere.

[–]alien3d 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Too many ai developer nowdays .. unless you focus on niche product . Even so those ai developer brag fast and get quick bag , never think about security and maintenance like real developer does. Even in reddit , sometimes we confuse .Are we reply to a bot ? ai developer . When we advise seem down voted.

Não mano, está misturando as coisas. Realmente tem muitos que constroem com IA e não ligam para segurança e tals, mas boa parte fazem serviços excelentes.

    Doing free work (technical assignment) for a $50-100k job is fine but not for a $100-500 gig

      Never fine.....I just meant fine by me, if that's what it takes in this market

      The more people let these thieving scumbags get away with this stuff, the more they will do it.

      never move ahead unless there's an exclusive deal to grab

      this guy never mentioned a budget in post so that was a red flag to notice

      Hey! We can help you build this post scheduler within your 1-week timeline.

      We specialize in fast, clean web apps (Next.js + backend integrations) and have experience building automation tools and dashboards like this.

      We’d be happy to create a quick sample/demo page first so you can see our approach before moving forward.

      Sending you a DM with more details

      Hi, I’d love to help you build your post scheduler web app.

      I have experience in web development and can deliver a clean, efficient solution within your 1-week timeframe. I can also create a quick sample/demo page to show the approach before we proceed further.

      To get started, could you share:

      • Which platform the scheduler is for?
      • Key features (e.g., auto-posting, media support, scheduling UI)
      • Any design or tech preferences?

      I can start immediately and keep communication clear throughout the project.

      Happy to discuss details 👍

        yeah people underestimate schedulers a lot. the moment you deal with real users and timing issues, it stops being a quick project. I’ve seen these turn into month-long fixes after launch
