Tired and broke

okdokie · 2026-10-16T17:48:41+0100

I am wondering, is there ANY way I can make money online that is NOT illegal ????? It feels hopeless. I have 10 years of experience in programming + cybersecurity, but it really means nothing now with AI. I cannot freelance, I cannot do shit. I am from third-world if you're wondering why I can't land a claude copy pasting software "Engineer" job..

Any help is greatly appreciated .

As you are into programming might give a shot to open-source security audits which pays globally

And remember you are not alone and your hard work still matters. Take a deep breath and hang in there. Good luck

Mate try to offer your services online on some forums but
it's going to be hella complicated

cuz too much competition

also if you dont have a capital to start its not easy

you need to save some $$ first and thne reinvest into something

I would say there is no better forum than BHW and forsure no user can disagree to this.

start by building a small automation script or tool and share free value on forums to build reputation first.

What do you mean open-source security audits? Like reviewing open source software? Bug bounty you mean? That's already dead. completely dead.

And then? What comes after? It seems anything I can offer, claude can do it (even if shittier and sloppier, people only care about "it werkss most of time" not nessacrily about engineering principles)

Not quite. Go corporate, work well enough for my pal. Leverage off of the connections you made in the industry and you'd do fine. Unless you didn't make meaningful connections or didn't expand your professional network. You'll need a lot of luck to get back into that space from ground up.

Start a service fixing vie coders projects, anyone can vibe code, but to make sure it works legit you will always need a real coder in the end that fix, optimize and make sure it is as it should be. "Make me a million dollar saas website" promt does not build you one. Learn AI and work with it, not against it.
