In years past, I supported my writing habit by taking on remote coding jobs, either as a part-time employee, or putting in part-time-like hours as a contractor. For almost a decade I coded in the mornings, and wrote in the afternoons. I tend to live inexpensively, so this approach was satisfactory.
My last such part-time position wrapped up in mid-2021, and since then I've not seen a single part-time opportunity that matches my skill set (LAMP back-end, everything front-end). After months of looking, I had to break down and take a full-time coding job just to keep the bills paid. As a consequence I have very little time and energy left for writing--weekends are mainly spent caring for my kindergarten-age kid. The deprivation is difficult.
Have part-time remote coding positions gone away? If so, I suppose I must despair for now. If not, where can one find them?
