This has been exactly my experience building (the apparent 200th) uptime monitoring service over the last 18 months. They all look the same to start with, but over time you learn a "better way" of doing things, that the others hav

Except the cool new thing is still React, and we're all still here. Folks are building products with great UX -> Clients use these products, want the same thing in their products -> Demand for frontend increases, repeat.

Do a little bit of work, every workday. I've shipped several SaaSes and two e-books over the past few years from just two hours a day. It also helps to have something with real users - it gives you extra motivation to know you're

Work on it in the two hours you have before work, every workday. My latest project is effectively impossible to complete (SaaS, evolving customer needs, etc), but I've been able to work on it consistently for the last 18 months AND get
