My advice as a former programmer turned independent who is also married is to keep things safe and not aim for global success. It doesn't really matter anyway.

My advice as a former programmer turned independent who is also married is to keep things safe and not aim for global success. It doesn't really matter anyway. Live more simply and create a bunch of small things that are more guaranteed to work, don't work so hard. The world doesn't need more successful people. ("Success" as defined by our modern western standards.)

The rest is up to the internet gods. You’ll have income. You’ll see success and feel that validation you need knowing you built something for you. Grow from there. I feel like this perspective though comes from a few face plants. It did for me.
