Uhhhh, are you suggesting you can’t make money making software?

  I’d argue if you’re solving a real problem, it’s hard NOT to make money in software.

    No. It's impossible for a coder to make money in software. You forgot to add "as long as you're a shameless self promoting blogger and SEO spammer who spends 1% of the time coding and 99% of the time marketing." That is what you meant to say. I'd rather be coding and let someone who wants to do marketing do the marketing. That's how specialization works. But your world as it exists today doesn't allow for social introverts who are skilled at coding to get paid one cent. Coding jobs require extrovert personality and marketing skill in addition to coding. Coding doesn't pay. So I do something else.

  That's exactly what I'm saying. You can't make money making software. Software is worth nothing. Coding doesn't pay.
