Upwork is the prototypical clown car that crashed into a gold-mine. (Or is it?)

Well it's definitely a clown car. The product experience is comically bad (like sad clown comedy). There is incredible friction in the hiring and interviewing processes. API access is disabled unless you have a through-the-nose enterprise account.

I would die for a freelancer hiring platform that I could interact with programatically, so I wouldn't have to use their shitty tools.
