I've got sick of the startup scene with crazy valuations with 0 revenue. Now I'm looking for work with solid businesses, and hoping to learn a lot.

I can developer very scalable PHP, manage AWS infrastructure, or simple stuff, like figuring out why your WordPress site isn't scaling. I'm pretty good with automation scripts and scraping too.
Problem is, there's not actually very many solid businesses in adult, and they tend to use things like NATS and KVS that they don't need to hire programmers for. There's definitely companies that are hiring--for example, adultwebmasternet, porntube, and of course mindgeek is always hiring--but it's for on-site positions in europe and canada.

On GFY, you're mostly gonna find dreamers and time-wasters, not solid businesses. I can't even imagine trying to make a living freelancing here. It would be soul-crushing.

If you're tired of the startup game why not try a bigger company? I did a stint coding at eBay ~5 years back. Never had a cushier, easier job in my life. Or you could try freelancer sites like upwork.
