FWIW, I futzed with Upwork years ago. It became super clear that it wasn't where I could sell my skills (deep backend, sre) effectively and come out with outcomes good for me and the client.

I do FTE work but occasionally dream of the side income (less so these days ha). :)

I think we all dream of side-income, but honestly freelancing on the side would be too exhausting for me (and employers don't typically like it).

I see the control over my time freelancing affords as my ticket to eventually make living off my own products (some day ;)
