AI-assisted development and freelancing
The story
The author began learning web development in 2023 and found that ChatGPT could help write code. After learning n8n and creating a Fiverr account, the author landed a first client for $10 in February 2024, became a Level Two seller in 2025, and says freelancing began to provide enough income for personal living costs.
After Fiverr banned the account in 2026, the author built SaaS products or apps in April, May and July. The author describes all of them as failures and says most savings were lost. The first order's deliverables, the apps' functions and the amount lost are undisclosed.
