I have a full time job as a software engineer that I enjoy. I work 4 10-hour days and have Fridays off. High inflation and increased expenses are driving me back into the job market looking for ways to supplement my income, but I don't want to fight for gigs on freelance platforms like Upwork.

Ideally I want a reliable project where I can invest 8-12 hours per week. One idea I had was to offer my services to companies looking to fill full time roles as a 'bridge' employee until they find their full time candidate (I could even participate in the interview process).

I guess I'm looking for a 'long term gig'. Am I nuts? Or is there a job board out there for companies/startups that need just a bit of extra help?

I've lived in the Bay Area for over 30 years, and I'm always amazed when I hear about something fun to do, or a great place to eat, that I never knew about.

So, I've started compiling a list of the "best things to do", and shared it here:

This is the list I wish I had 30 years ago! Even while working on this fun project I've learned of some pretty cool stuff (check out "Lazy Bear", or the "Cheese Trail"). I would love to hear your ideas.
