You've said before that you make courses, and you wouldn't give out links to us no matter how much we ask you to.
Why don't you create free videos on YouTube as a way of drawing people in so they can see you at work, see how you think and u can showcase your talent.
You can then say that if you liked my video, head over to {URL} for a full laid out course for just {AMOUNT}/month
I'm not trying to flex, but I literally get messages from my supporters and new clients all the time on LinkedIn/Email/Instagram because I leave out all my contact info everywhere. Even on devRant.
My channel alone has made me an extra $5400 USD since July 2022 (excluding my full-time job). That should give you a fair picture of how I have done for myself. -
@retoor the system is at fault for this tho
-
@SidTheITGuy yeah i've been far too lazy with youtube... might be the next thing to put effort into
-
@b2plane yh true, how much will damage the society the more succes it has. Fb->Insta->Snap->Tiktok
-
@b2plane oh, don't forget how fb started! Hate against girls while exposing them

@chonky-quiche To each their own but I'm the direct opposite.
I'd say it's only thanks to 40h/week work experience that I can churn out a hobby project in a few hours over a weekend.
If I only programmed on my spare time I'd move at a snails pace and every other error would stump me - since I hadn't seen it before. Thanks to work I've got enough experience to handle issues and make hobby programming easy and enjoyable. -
@jiraTicket that’s definitely a good point. I guess it’s weird for me to make generalizations about it bc everyone is different. I guess my comment just comes from the fear of dedicating most of your conscious life to something that doesn’t fulfill you as much as something else.

Gotta be honest: doing unpaid overtime without telling anyone just leads to disappointment. No one will remember that you did 70 hour weeks and crazy amounts of tickets during 2021. Unless you apply for a higher position.
@fullstackcircus: have you gone for an lead dev roles in other companies? I mean, there are places which value engagement and will let you assist in hiring new devs. -
@jiraTicket the only one who remembers is me :)

Thanks Google. That's exactly what I need right now.
the more i think about the effort i've poured into various projects and products over the years, for clients or my own, and how little its payed overall... its quite depressing (people probably understimate, but i'm talking years upon years, not all at at time, but month spurts where i'd be done for the day at 7 PM or later) 12 hour days are easy to hit quickly when you are cranking out software
if you need an application requirement i've probably built it before, probably most of them twice
everyone tells me "it will pay off in the long run!" or "its great you have so much experience and built those different things!"
great to say, but i'm not getting payed for it / see no benefit from it
not fun to think about
and every place i go i know its gonna be filled with the workaday dev bros who are just there for the paycheck, have no passion, and who don't even know what TypeScript is (true story about that TypeScript one, i shit you not, occured only last year, and the guy is a frontend dev)
