Make enough passive income to quit my job, live in the mountains and develop something i like without feeling guilty for not using the time to work on money yielding projects instead.

My biggest goal as a developer is to build a few services which provide enough passive income that I can spend more time with my family.

passive income from some dumb shit

What would you do if you had a passive income high enough that you could live off of it?

caution: just some dude sharing a random story.

started my own small business around half a year now. a month earlier from that my cousin also started his career as a self employed dev with his own small business and we work together.

next year we we will start a company together, where we merge our existing small businesses into one. we are developing software on our own and we design and implement software for our customers.

seems like we are doing something right because we are reaching our capacities almost all of the time.

we plan to hire apprentices (hope it's the right word) and to teach them all we know to be able to then increase our possible workload.

you know, I do not have a degree or some form of education in the field of IT. And here in germany it was almost impossible to land a job as a dev. needed my cousin who studied cs to get me my first position in that field - and even with his reputation it was not easy.

this shit will not happen on my watch. If I see someone with fire for development I will give them a chance, irrespective of their background. And I will be more than happy to let that person grow and to give every kind of support I can.

we also plan to have something like "if the employee has a good idea for software that sells, we will support it and share revenue". got to figure out the details on that one, but I want to give the employee the possibility to grow some passive income out of their normal job - because for me this was never an option. and I think that this will motivate in some way 😅

just wanted to get this out of my head 😣

Someday I will rely on passive income and not on my job. Gotta escape the rat race 😁

!rant

Having lots shitty comments and lots of shitty rants is like having passive income, the ++ come slowly but surely.

So.. are any of you guys trying to create something for some passive income? How is it going?

-release an app (legally)
-stay healthy + avoid sickness
-speak conversational Mandarin
-build passive income (optional)
-get out of toxic work relationship/s (optional)

Build my own company (Already in-progress), and do something I enjoy for a living instead of working for others while hopefully having some passive income (Ex. Apps, plugins, etc) to allow me to enjoy life to the extent

Are there any good options to generate passive income as a dev?

What are your different sources of passive income (if any)?

Employment first while building your future business on the side. Business in the future. Passive and residual income is the key.

Do some of you make a passive income from something dev related?
What are your experiences?

I’m thinking about starting a dev blog with focus on financial software, but it would be nice to do something that brings in some extra bugs. There are so many blogs, mine would probably not even be seen by anyone..

What's the best passive income for you? With small effort/capital but with big returns in a short period of time? Also high chance of working/succeeding.

I don't want to be an employee forever :) thanks!

Is there any of you guys here that make a decent income from admob on mobile app here? Any advice on that?

Have this iOS maniac/UI guy/hustler at my office. (Refers to my first Rant,he's the fucker who always try to shove his iPhone to my face.) Hats off to him for knowing how to generate passive income and his hustling skill. But I hate that fucker. He always like to start a debate. He's always doing his sidejobs all the time. He sells staff online(even fidget spinner). He also does wedding photo shoots. Heard from a friend, he's a mediocre photographer but gets client by giving his potential clients lower prices than his competitors. He got a few connections and somehow always doing websites for his own client by going to codepen and copy pasting JavaScript from here and there. He doesn't know shit about programming. That fucker doesn't even know about closures. He literally doesn't know shit. Yet try to debate about with us regarding programming (wtf?) Always trying to get us to help him with his side paid jobs -when he encountered an error,he will immediately bug us- sometimes would interrupt us while we are busy with the company's stuff. If we don't help, he would slightly mock by saying things like "it's ok...I understand you guys are not that experienced yet..etc". The senior dev was pissed off the other day and emailed a super detailed complaint to the HR.
Note : He gets paid more by his photoshooting jobs on the weekend, he's only at this job for his future citizenship application. That fucker. He's the type of fucker that will definitely gets rich but gets hated by everyone.

So it finally sunk in that now is not the time to develop a commercial app. I never did it because reasons (too lazy to explain it all), but I always wanted to and this time I was determined to do it, but it dawned on me that now is not the time. Right now I have to do well in college and learn as much as I can.

Sadly that sweet sweet passive income will have to wait, but I'm kinda excited. I have basically freed myself from the feeling of guilt of making slow progress on my project. No more of that voice in the back of my head "but I should be developing the project, not this random thing". Now I'll basically just try my hand at a fuck ton of stuff, see what I like, maybe get an internship with a teacher of mine, who knows.

To build wealth and create passive income that will make me finally quit my developer career. I'm passionate about being a developer but as a hobby, and not working for someone else who wants you to build something you disagree with.

anybody's got some passive income idea?

Just matched my passive income with my regular running costs (spotify premium, phone contract, internet). It doesn't really matter because I might as well pay the difference with money from projects or savings, but it feels good to have that all looked after by itself.

Do you guys have any passive or semi-passive income going ? How much and what is it ?

Looking to build myself a safe situation, any advice is worth taking, cheers.

Creating something that doesnt exist. Publishing it. Gettting passive income. Getting drinks and treating your only limited resource as you like, forever.

Anyone here has managed to accumulate some passive income outside a 9 to 5?
