    Very serious. I kinda fell into it myself when one of my clients reached out to me late last year about needing help with some project they utilized Claude Code and a vibe coder to build from end to end. After that I thought “huh, wee bit o money to be made here”.

    It’s a menial/easy job for sure but man you charge a Premium for it. These companies have no idea what they’re doing I mean hell they put their entire company on the back of a 20 year old junior dev and an Anthropic subscription. I generally charge double what I would normally charge for dev work and it’s always less work, thus I’m able to take on more clients to fix this stuff which means I’m making much more for less.

    Like I said a friend of mine simply went back to the place he got laid off from and told them he’d fix their fuck ups and nickle and dimed them to do so. I and others simply go on LinkedIn and call out the bullshit from tech bro posts and then say we’ll fix it. the thing is YOU have to be the one to advertise your service because companies still aren’t going to admit they fucked up and post ads asking for help. Trust me they ARE looking for help they’re just won’t openly admit to it.
