Mine is the same! Good luck!

Leonardo.ai is much better in this regard. I hated midjourney, and if they don’t change this ridiculous way of interacting with the app they will fail.

Ruby, Java, Typescript, Javascript

I wanna see those trains crossing the ocean

Exactly. Or if you need to learn 9 years to start earning, that is not easy.

Usually these only get paid out if they actually hire the person. This will never be a stable monthly side money

I'm not sure I understand this comment. Could you elaborate? If you look at Show HN posts, it's clear that people do build a lot of stuff. I also want to build stuff, I just miss the good idea of what to build

How do you get into security from other parts of IT without downleveling and having a huge pay cut?

I wanted to get into security, but as a Senior Software Engineer I earn twice as much as I would get as a Junior Security Engineer. Anywhere I tried, they don’t hire into senior positions if you dont have relevant security experience (understandably)

And based on my experience certifications are not enough

That is interesting, thanks for sharing. I guess it makes sense, if they think I am cheap they might also think I produce low quality.

Yeah, facts. So how to overcome this?

> That said, boringcashcow.com has inspired me to try to come up with a simple programming project that could turn over 4 figures a month. It made me realize in software you can just go for base hits, not home runs, and still make plenty of money.

Would you mind sharing more details? Story? What is the app? I am really curious :) If no, that's fine, thanks for the tip anyways. I will definitely check out the website. My biggest problem is coming up with ideas for an app/business.

Without changing career path, no I don't think so. I'm mostly in web development. I can't think of any skill that would significantly up my salary.

Now learning stuff like AI, or Cyber Security could, but that's a very long process, and basically a change of careers. (I'm not against that, but wouldn't call that "easy")

I don't think I'm a good writer. But this is actually something that can be easily improved over time, I guess.

Thanks for the tip. I might give this a shot. This is something that fits my needs, you can do it in your own pace, remotely, gig work. would be perfect if I was a good writer (and native English speaker haha)
