Guess that's what happens when people shift to selling 'how to be a freelancer' tools, books and content on HN :)

Doesn't help that the bubble is bursting/deflating, investors are getting stingy, and people are being called out for their "boring" ideas.

Or hiring managers and team leads aren't awake yet.

yep, that's why I stopped looking for jobs here. The average buyer is willing to pay oDesk rates.
