How to get rich as a solo software developer - The Ultimate Guide

That Quentin Tarantino story is just the best. Man really created his own luck 😂😂

THE ENDING WAS GOLDEN, “That’s how you market a side hustle in a video about side hustles” 😂

Thank you for making the animation with me, it was awesome to work with you! : )

wait, this is an ad

I love the fact , fail often but remember to Fail forward , what a line

Deploying on a Friday, what could possibly go wrong?

i cant believe i was just tricked into watching a 9 minute advertisement

This video reminds me of saying 1. Think Big 2. Act Small 3. Deliver Quickly 4. Measure it (user's feedback) 5. Change Quickly

I spent a few years trying to do that and it's much harder than it sounds, I'm very good at producing high quality code but I'm not creative whatsoever so generating business ideas and trying to execute on them was extremely frustrating and I wasn't able to ship any project in 4 years. It made me miserable so I decided to stop and made my peace with the fact that this is not for me. I'm so much happier now coding projects for others while making good money instead of failing over and over and over again on something I'm not good at because it's "cool" to be a solopreneur.

Sounds a little bit like my own solopreneur experience... :) Having to work on all desktop platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux) everyday I realized that all cross-platform file managers suck and they do not really make me productive... So I asked myself how difficult would it be to create a file manager which suck a little bit less and I started... I created HiFile which may have a motto "a file manager which sucks a bit less" :) And for those who try to google it, yeah, it is nothing revolutionary new, just oldschool "total commander" style manager with some hopefully clever and handy solutions which make my own work faster. And no, it is not yet finished, it still needs some polishing... And most importantly it already made me some 200 bucks :)

You actually showed the entire stack and how you got to that point. Love that

Jeff, you are an inspiration. Thank you for existing and providing quality content for the community.

Holy sh*t. This is exactly the video I needed. I'm also on a similar path right now - Fullstack Engineer currently building a site/small platform. I think a lot of us get caught up in the building tons of sh*tty little projects (story of my life up until this point) that either don't function properly, have no purpose, or we never validate them until its too late. This video definitely makes some very good points like getting your idea validated early and understanding that while luck plays a large part, you can create some of your own luck through consistent hard work. Love it!! Thanks for sharing 💯🔥

Respect to this man for actually doing every project he jokes about

If you wanna get rich teach others how to get rich

Firebase is truly amazing to build side hustles projects which actually gets shipped. Thanks for sharing your development process, really inspiring.

Made me want to jump straight back into my 1 year in the making app with no users, thank you ❤

Jesus Christ this is amazing. One of the best developer online business “tutorials” I’ve ever seen. Great video again Fireship, equally informative and lightheartedly sarcastic. You deserve millions just for making these videos 😂

The true wealth was the friends we made along the way

I am really glad to see the JabaScript community moving forward..."server side rendering", background tasks and whatnot...few more years and it will be almost where PHP / JS "stack" was almost 10 years ago. Glory days ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
