My start up just failed and I spent all my money on trying to get it to work. I need to make some quick cash to make rent and pay my basic bills not to mention pay my credit cards down. I can program in PHP and Python along with knowing drupal, wordpress, and a few frontend frameworks like bootstrap.

That is a great way to find some extra work but I've found it only works well if you post within a few hours of the thread starting. Watch out for it on the 1st of every month!
