> If I want to make more, I take on more projects.

Or you can increase the transactions per customer. You don't have to have more projects/clients to make more money. There are only so many projects you'll be able to work on.

However, if you already have 10 - 15 customers, and you increase the # of transactions per customer, you can reach 7 figure revenue per year.

I agree with you on some points, it's a lot of work to earn passive income and during my first year trying to earn passive income on the side I lost money and incurred in a debt of around 50K USD... but last month I finally got the hang of it, and after putting 30 hours a week after my fulltime job during my first year of trial and error, last month I grossed 10K merely working about 10 hours a week after my fulltime job... That said, it's possible and it's not in its entirety bullshit.

I guessed the name of the company right away when you said "well known for treating developers right, but I still needed to make sure it was what I thought it was.

Could you provide a little bit more of details on how the founders disagreed with you? I'm very much interested in knowing more about it.

I read in the yelp reviews that they were singing in the middle of the nights, and throwing out parties during the week.

The apartment complex should write lease violations to offenders (or Google)

I think the comments were removed, but one of them said that she should build a body-powered vibrator and she would be millionaire.

I never said you didn't deserve a job, that's an invisible script of yours... all I'm saying is that you're doing it wrong by focusing in the wrong things.

Nowadays telling you the truth is being arrogant and rude, oh well... good luck to you boy, I'm not the one in need for a job.

Well that's actual advice boy, it's up to you if you still want to think that someone is going to hand you a job just because you need one.

I'm going to tell you what other people haven't told yet.

Nobody cares whether you went to App Academy or learned how to code in your mom's garage.

Nobody cares if you have enough skill to rewrite the linux kernel from scratch.

If you want a job, you have to understand hiring managers needs and fears, and most importantly you need to know how to address them.

If you know how to get things done on time, and on budget then you're hirable.

While it shows passion that you built yet-another-asteroids-port it's irrelevant for the most part.

and this is coming from one 25 yo software engineer without a college degree making an income way above average and hardly 2 years of real experience.

I came here to see if anyone else noticed the sexists comments under the article, what a shame.

However it's not difficult to find sexists pricks in tech.

I don't think podcasts alone will make you a better software engineer.

Most software engineer spend countless hours perfecting their craft, and forget about soft skills that will make you more "likeable" and will help you advance further your career.

So if I crawl lyrics website, am I violating their copyright?

I'm not displaying the lyrics, I'm just matching lyrics with user generated content to come up with song recommendations.
