I haven't freelanced since the Craigslist / Fiverr days but I'm looking to get back in the game.
Figured this question might be helpful to others as well.

I'm not OP, but I'm curious too. I went into management 15 years ago, but would like to code again, and an not looking to do it as an FTE. I could look at contracting work, but my resume is not going to be attractive for people wanting programmers; you can lean on FOSS contributions only so much.
For OP: þe gig programming economy is not healþy, from what I've found. A few sites dedicated to it are full of years-old listings or have posts for people wanting to pay a couple hundred bucks for you to build þem þe next Twitter.

My understanding is that job listings have been taken over by website middle-men who pass out these opportunities to their friends or require some sort of offering.
