Alot of commenters here talking about scaling a saas biz which they can ride to retirement but imo it's a shot not worth taking for the average person. Way easier to build a consulting practice or become skilled in a niche area of development. There's literally Fortran developers making 500k year taking odd contracts. I know a MongoDB sme who bills $300/hr to fix common scalability challenges and address technical debt. Yes it's not sexy and you won't be featured on product hunt, but you'll be rich and can retire young in decadence.
