Is freelance web development still a viable path in 2019?

With the advent of wix, squarespace, and other code free forms of website developement, it seems as if the demand for custom built sites are at an all time low. The little demand left is shared among a seemingly never ending hord of aspiring freelance developers, many of whom are willing to work at prices far below that of what their skills had once demanded. With a market such as this what place, if any, is there for new developers who wish to break into freelancing? Is there any hope at all for these developers? Or have the days of freelancing been put to an end by abstraction and oversaturation?

Ask HN: What's your preferred way of ensuring complex database integrity?

What I mean really is: when working with relational databases, and you have complex constraints to ensure (not trivial things like notnull but something like: "two tables away" uniqueness, etc..), do you like filling it with tricks using PKs/FKs/UNIQUEs to ensure integrity or do you prefer writing some code that will get executed as you application boots up, that ensures that all the more complex requirements are met?
