I do some freelance but that’s a very broad term, is there anything else I can do besides find customers and providing programming services? Maybe some more niche thing I’m not aware of?
I don’t want to go back to the corporation area. Also, I don’t want a lot of money, I live a very minimalist life with very basics, no travels, no girlfriend, no friends, always in my home.
I’d be happy earning $300-400 a month, does anyone has any suggestion?
I’d like to work with REAL programming, not devops, not cloud, not managing containers, I want to write code as a living.
Other options include indie gamedev, various forms of consulting (can be high pay but likely high pressure and at least corporate adjacent), find a big enough niche or a bunch of small ones (hard part) and fill it with software for patreon or similar, phone apps, socially conscious coding (e.g. network alternatives ala meshtastic, here’s an idea I had, meat on those bones), it’ll take a while, but if you fill a need people will support. Good luck.
