   Although this app, sometimes gets me to my worst... I think it's only fair to call them the best work from home site.

• What’s your favorite gig that you can “turn on and off”?

  Article writing used to be my go to for this. I think it's gotten much harder these years though. But listverse is one market that will pay you $100 for an article still, as long as its well written, unique and fits their guidelines.

My best piece of advice is to figure out your niche (health, finance, tech, lifestyle etc...) and approach a few brand name blogs or publications and ask if you can write an article for them for free to publish on their site. I did this when I first started out and found having these brand names in my portfolio (I use Contently as a free portfolio platform) was key. People... Source: over 2 years ago

• I was an actual shill for 9 months, AMA

  If you are learning web development, goto upwork.com and start doing projects. Your old projects & code is a lot more valuable than some references from a company. Source: 6 months ago

• Insulin pens are driving me bonkers

  I just wanted to say, for anyone reading this far: this is the sort of thing you can hire a programmer to whip up for you to carry around on your phone. u/dark_rug just up and did it, but for anybody else finding themselves with a little spreadsheet to do calculations that they want to work on their phone or in the browser, you can go to a service like upwork.com and put out a request for bids from contract...
