Almost every company has a some hidden need to hire software developers in some capacity. Maybe not full time, and it will be doing random things, but the need for some level of process automation, better analysis, custom reporting, integrating systems together.

Here’s a subset of industries quoted or worked for, and thus is coming from a small regional town in Australia. - high end design and manufacture of transfer chutes - charter bus operator - ferry tour operator - mining material processor - jewellery online store - rag import wholesaler company (yes, those bags of treated cloths you buy at the hardware store) - anaesthetist - equipment finance - gas hose fitting parts supplier - business coach - childhood movement teacher - and so many others There’s lots of hidden demand out there if you can find a way to reach it and help people solve problems
