I came to the same conclusion over the time. Mainly because I figured out:
When you want to build stuff for profit, coding is an afterthought. There are so many tasks necessary that involve zero coding. You essentially become your own product manager that needs to talk to (potential) customers, completely reevaluate your value proposition, do marketing sales. The more time you spend on coding, the higher the chance your assumptions about what people want are wrong.
If you want to spend 100% coding I would argue that's impossible to make profitably.
- nly 5y ago"Coding" is a small part of most software engineering roles though. I mean I think I've written more code in 2 weeks working on useless hobby projects than I have in 2 years professionally. I'm not even exaggerating
- trangon 5y agoSounds like you aren’t working on a greenfield project, granted most people aren’t. But it’s not like that for everyone.
