Hi all,

I like programming and do a lot of hobby projects. But I don't really do web development, or android, which seems to be what most work are about.

I like making desktop applications, computational projects, etc. i also like problems where I can solve/automate tasks using programming. I have like 100 projects in GitHub now, and I love contributing to open source community. But it sometimes makes me feel like I could be using that time to do things that could make money instead of working on projects that noone will use.

I'm looking for small jobs, independent tasks I could do for minor income. But if it's in python or rust, I am open to a bit larger projects.

Any local business around you? They have plenty of book keeping and processes that could probably use some tooling.

Don’t have much to offer beyond that. The competition pool for small ones offs grows when trying to get online sourced work.

    I feel like there should be something like that for sure. But I don't really know how to find it or convince people to hire me for a problem they don't know they have. It's be great if I knew owners personally, but I'm not really outgoing type (who reason I got good with programming lol)
