Its becoming more difficult to "to generate a ton of money" as a NEW dev. Job market isn't so hot right now and and the low hanging SaaS fruit mostly picked. However for the observant, new problems pop up all the time that need solving. The advice is to listen, observe and most importantly meet people from a lot of different industries to hear about their problems and existing solutions.
- unTymen 1y agoThat's a great point. I'm curious, how do you personally go about meeting people from different industries? And on a related note, are there any books or podcasts you'd recommend for gaining similar insights?
- farseer 1y agoHave a large network of (offline) friends. Weekend golf group, drinking buddies, diligently attend college/school reunions, attend a few industry specific events in the Bay Area every month. Try to strike up a conversation with random people at those events. And after pleasantries, ask about their work and drift the conversation in your desired direction. Sorry don't have any specific books or podcasts I can recall.
