I might know someone I could ask. Pm me if you wanna talk. But warning: I’m not on much anymore so there may be a delay in me responding.

That said the biggest challenge after sexism/gender bias is the specific programming choice.

That seems odd, is that something you suspect or have you been objectively judged on because of your gender? If you're a software engineer can we talk, I might need help. How do I get started in freelance? Do you recommend fiverr? By specific programming choice do you mean the choice of language or something else? Are there any learning resources you recommend if I were to get started in freelane? A book, a youtube channel, anything?

Not really discrimination as much as oh your a girl, I have a gender bias name

Fiver can be helpful but I’ve not had great experience with it.

Choice of programming language and industry

The industry defines the language and the learning, I’m just getting started myself so I’m not the best resource

I'm not sure how a lot it works either, I'd appreciate some tips. How to start, when to start, are there any coding bootcamps you recommend? Also, can you define " not had great experience with it." Means, what was wrong?

Oh ok, that seems very specific. How did you plan on getting clients or getting contacted by clients?

That also seems specific learning requirements wise, how did figure things out? Are there guides specifically for that?

I tried fiver and had people that would ask for stuff and not pay is the main issue. I went back to learning more and have mostly stopped freelance work for now

Could it have worked? Don't they have to pay before the service is complete?
