Anton Kuratnik | $200/hr Upworker

Launching a telegram channel. Same content, but I'm on TG more than on twitter. Might have some TG-exclusive stuff down the road. Join here: t.me/antonhowtofree…

@TaylorAGreen1 @UpworkSaves Yes me too! What does this entail?

Yay we got approved to use the Upwork API! This is definitely going to help with the build for the dedicated Freelance CRM we’re building specifically for freelancers to WIN work.

I'm a max user, but I use Claude mostly for writing. I used it so heavily I was still running out of usage. 100-page fanfics, original fiction, etc. It was amazing. But then you guys did something with how Claude manages memory. Claude started forgetting basic character details, who said what. Sometimes it would even get confused about stuff earlier in the same response. I would give it feedback, it would fix the problems, but would only create more in the process. For my use case, it's useless now. I can no longer have Claude write a coherent story - something I was able to do easily before 4 launched. The difference is STARK. I noticed that a project I had with 60% context window used suddenly dropped to 3% without my changing anything. So it looks like the way Claude (whether 3.7 or 4) accesses memories/context has been changed. I think that's the source of the performance drop also.

Thanks for bringing this up, wanted to address this directly! We don't degrade model performance to better serve demand. The models do sometimes act in surprising ways though and I'd love to DM to understand if you're experiencing an ongoing performance issue. Not diagnosing here, but can sometimes performance changes can be related to changes in prompting or evolving codebases.

Claude Code seems to have been a bit "dumber" the past few days and just making stupid mistakes. I legit would pay $500/mo to just have the good version that never gets a quantized/degraded during peak times!

@SisiAdire Nice! Always thrilled to see upworkers thriving on the platform!💪

After countless trials, videos, giving up multiple times and coming back again, I got my first client on Upwork. And not long after, I got my second client. Two clients in a month and the month is not over yet. From Upwork isn't working for me to this. It can only get better.

@KennyAlami Exactly who I work with too! Small to medium service businesses are a really fun niche marketing-wise

I stopped working with e-commerce and marketplaces. I also won’t even touch startups or funded ventures. Service businesses with a couple of employees (or more) are the ones that would benefit the most from my experience. I’ve experienced and solved their problems so it makes sense to focus on helping them only. They also have a few elements that make them a good fit: - they’ve worked on their operations - they tried automation at least once - they have tried-and-true processes - they have consistent prospects and work That’s the perfect recipe to get quick wins and really make a difference. PS: if you’re a service business owner, I’m running a workshop called “How to get your business ready for AI”. I’m putting the link in the first comment.

@StanleyAzi Awesome! Always happy to see freelancers killing it on the platform!💪

My Upwork 🔥🚀 “Hey Stanley, incredible work on the website! We really liked it” I got an offer to build a landing page for $300 on the 5th and I completed it in 3days! My client reviewed with his team yesterday & it’s incredible! “I have another project for you” - he said! 🚀 It’s interesting that I applied to this job when it already had 20 to 50 proposals after an hour and I was the 8th candidate interviewed. 🔥👨🏾‍💻 We keep pushing to the top. Let’s keep improving our skills and making everyday count! It will eventually start paying off. Hard and smart work should collab for greatness 🤝👨🏾‍💻

@AlinDragu Love Italy! Probably my favorite European country. And ditto on the vision. My goal is to build digital businesses that enable me to leave the digital world behind as much as possible. There's so much opportunity online but our minds weren't designed for it.

My 3 year vision: Move to Italy with my family. Read novels. Write emails with espresso in a tiny little cafe. Eat all my food from a local farm. Long walks by the river. Infinite peace away from digital chaos.

@Ololade_favy Congrats! Always excited to see upworkers succeeding on the platform!💪

One of my many wins of the year is getting verified on upwork (after a gig 😉), my upwork journey has been one for the books (rollercoaster is a joke)…
