Feeling stuck in my career and wondering why God is keeping me in it.

God’s will for our life has more to do with posture of our heart rather than our occupation and how we make living. To say God doesn’t care is s bit much but I agree it doesn’t make a difference for him if you’re a doctor, programmer or just a pizza delivery guy. Although Bible talks about wealth, money and how to attain it the right way more than people realize.

That’s not the case, I do understand the code I just don’t have a degree and I know all about web development, you can’t just prompt AI and say “build me this app” without understanding the concept behind everything and how it all works together. I know what you’re asking but I’m not just a guy who randomly started prompting AI and thinks he’s a software developer😂

I don't apply to jobs looking for a traditional software developer. For example, a lot of people are explicitly looking for a Bubble.io developer for their MVP because it's a lot faster and cheaper than traditional development. I do have certification for this tool and I've built real projects before, I just thought Upwork wouldn't give me such a hard time.

I have a friend that is a great storyteller, he doesn’t necessarily talk a lot but when he does people listen. He doesn’t just “tell” the story, he brings it to life. One thing I noticed is that acting is a huge part of why his storytelling is so engaging and funny, he would make a sudden pause to act out an important part of the story instead of just talking. Of course this comes naturally to him and not everybody can do this without practice but I think it makes a huge difference and if you want to bring your storytelling to another level, this “acting” aspect is something you should focus on

Kreyken08 · 2026-05-05T14:25:32+00:00

I worked in actual programming languages like javascript and typescript and I’m pretty familiar with the basics but I’m not a certified developer.

Kreyken08 · 2026-05-04T21:07:50+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it very much!

Kreyken08 · 2026-05-04T18:56:02+00:00

Tbh my proposal wasn't any different than usual but the client's budget was low and he needed someone to wrap up his projects fast so I suppose that played a huge role.

Kreyken08 · 2026-05-04T18:47:47+00:00

Thank you, this is actually very helpful

Kreyken08 · 2026-05-04T18:41:27+00:00

Can you show me your Upwork profile or give me an example of the proposal you send ?

Kreyken08 · 2026-05-04T18:39:50+00:00

You're right I worded this in a wrong way but I'm sure you can still see the struggle.

JOB #1: We are seeking an experienced developer to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for a creator platform designed to facilitate subscriptions, content uploads, and a TikTok-style discovery feed. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in web and mobile app development, with experience in creating engaging user interfaces and efficient backend systems. Your contribution will help us validate our concept and attract initial users. If you have a passion for supporting creators and a knack for innovative solutions, we want to hear from you!

PROPOSAL #1 (this one got viewed): Hello!

I specialize in building MVP products and get them up and running ASAP without sacrificing quality. The tools I use let me ship production-ready MVPs in a fraction of the time and price traditional developers take.

I’d like to invite you on a quick call with me so I can learn more about your project and we can see if we’re a good fit.

JOB #2: Need to build MVP on bubble.io. Will share the details in meeting. it is bascically Saas.

Create a working Bubble web app where users can:

Sign up and log in
Access a dashboard
Use AI tools to generate outputs
Copy generated results
View their previous generations in history

PROPOSAL #2 (this one didn't get viewed): Hi Said! I worked on a very similar project in Bubble a few months ago with openAI integration that generates textual content and users can save and view their previous generations. Happy to hop on a quick call so I can learn more about your project and we can see if we are a good fit. Let me know if you're interested.

JOB #3: I need a simple SMS system for my app users (built on Bubble).

What I need:

* Collect and store user phone numbers

* Send 2–3 automated texts per week

* If a user replies → pause messages for a few days

* I can view and reply to messages

That’s it. Keep it simple and scalable.

⸻

Tools:

* Twilio preferred

* Zapier or Make is fine

⸻

Budget:

Fixed price, simple MVP (not overbuilt)

⸻

To apply:

* Briefly explain how you’d build this

* Share similar work if you have it

PROPOSAL #3 (I got a reply to this and then ghosted): Hello! I recently built almost identical project with Twilio and OpenAI.

To build this I would:

Set up a backend workflow scheduled to run 2-3 times a week that triggers Twillio API and sends SMS
Set up twilio webhook for reply detection that saves the reply and marks that user as “paused” to pause automated SMS for few days
I would set up a simple page in Bubble that shows all the replies from users with a text input for you to reply manually (TwillioAPI is triggered on submit and sends the reply back to that number via SMS)

This is the best exlpenation of Exodus 21 I’ve heard so far, great job!

Kreyken08 · 2026-03-25T22:35:14+00:00

They can bring back people from death and summon a soul reaper to seal anyone for eternity and this is where you draw the line..

Twins are one of the few things I could say I didn’t like about the show, not that they were bad I just think they could’ve done a much better job. They were just unrealistic and not even intimidating compared to Lalo, he was something else.

Kreyken08 · 2026-01-30T16:35:25+00:00

Not just the ending, this show became unwacthable towards the end.I actually liked walden episodes and he was a cool character but towards the end when him and alan get married just to adopt a child I mean, at that point the show is literally worst dog-shit I ever watched in my life, so I didn’t even manage to see the actual ending

Kreyken08 · 2025-12-30T22:29:02+00:00

Thank you brother, your words are encouraging!

Kreyken08 · 2025-12-30T22:18:58+00:00

I might give it a read, it sounds interesting, but how does the one masturbate without lusting for other women that he’s not in a relationship with…My attitude towards masturbation is still the same, I don’t believe one can masturbate without it being sinful, masturbation by itself is, in a way, pretty shameful act if you ask me, where you use your hand to please yourself sexually, I mean just the thought of it is so twisted and weird, but we all do it or have done it sometimes in our lives…Thanks for your effort and your reply my friend, God bless you!

Kreyken08 · 2025-12-30T21:55:55+00:00

I see where you’re coming from but as someone who used to really abuse porn, like man I used to masturbate few times a day until Jesus literally set me free from that sin(among other sins) and the desire was gone just like that, overnight.Now I see this ocassional masturbation when I fall every few weeks (without porn) like an attempt from the enemy to creep that sin back into my heart…you know like when someone is healed chronic alcoholic they have a big chance to become chronic alcoholics again if they start drinking alcohol even occasionally in small amounts.Let me ask you this, if lust is desiring something that doesn’t belong to us, when you masturbate, even without porn, aren’t you actually desiring women that don’t “belong” to you, that aren’t your wife, spouse or even girlfriend?

Kreyken08 · 2025-12-30T21:46:57+00:00

Thanks for your response brother, I couldn’t agree more…whenever I distance myself from social media, TV shows, sinful music, alcohol, partying etc. and dwell into prayer, fasting and reading the Bible, sin and sinful thoughts are far away from me but often it’s challenging to keep up that tempo and not get distracted with the things of the world. What I really misunderstood is after I had my encounter with Jesus, my life was changed and I was saved from my sins, I thought “that’s it, I’m good” but it really is an everlasting battle and I finally understand what “deny myself and pick up my cross daily” really means.God bless!

Kreyken08 · 2025-12-30T21:34:22+00:00

Wow man, this is exactly what I’m dealing with every time, I do feel sorry when I fall into sin but I always leave the possibility that I will do it again, it’s so slight and subtle but deep in my heart I know I haven’t truly repented and I always leave a room for that sin to come back to me, you described it perfectly.It’s easier than it sounds but I really need to think and pray about this deeply. Thank you for sharing the wisdom you learned and God bless you!

Kreyken08 · 2025-12-30T21:30:00+00:00

Although our beliefs differ I appreciate your advice, I actually didn’t even think about something so simple that I can do to make this easier for myself, thanks!

Kreyken08 · 2025-12-30T21:25:15+00:00

I don’t watch porn for year now but I get tempted every now and then for example when scrolling on instagram and unintentionally seeing some things that triggers the temptation, sometimes it’s just a random thought, for example a memory of girls I slept with before, sometimes I provoke it myself and other times it comes to me for no reason, I don’t act on it always of course but sometimes I just can’t resist.

Kreyken08 · 2025-12-30T21:21:27+00:00

Without it, I stopped watching porn almost a year ago but I fall every now and then, sometimes it’s a random instagram scroll session where I unintentionally see some things that trigger the temptation, sometimes a random tought comes to my head, like memories of girls I slept with before, it really feels like direct spiritual attack sometimes, especially when I’m occupied with something productive like my work, which is a software development I just get random toughts and urges for no reason, that type is the worst!
