Do you have a side hustle as a software engineer?

I have full stack development experience and I still code. I work with a product company on healthcare domain. I want to build something solo as a side hustle. And with the tech knowledge I have acquired, I am 100% confident I can build it. I’ve already gathered some mobile app/platform ideas and have been working on a few of them. Doing some research as well. The thing I lack is a strategy and direction to reach prospective users. I have no idea about how startups operate. I have never been into freelancing either. I know nothing about regulations and law. I have only a limited knowledge about investment. My short term plan is to finish building some MVP features of the apps and publish them to Playstore/AppStore. (I’m sorry, I do not wish to reveal the ideas now) How to reach users 0-1, 1-10 and 10-100? How should I plan financially? Isn’t it possible to go solo? I have someone in the US who has agreed to help me in coding. But he has only 2 years of experience. One advantage is he can give me US insights. I don’t want to induct more members as no one is ready for commitment. Or people just back out even after committing to it. Btw, I am not active on social media. My network in the internet world with people isn’t great. I’m seeking advice from you guys on areas that I need to consider to make my app/platform grow. All this, is going to be side hustle.

I am 26 years old software engineer from Bengaluru having pretty good salary but was thinking of starting some business, what do you all do and what do you guys suggest?

what are some projects or side hustles you have been working on besides your day job? I've been wanting to build some AI wrappers but can't find the time. is it possible to work on this on weekends/free time?

I am the only one earning from my family and also having some loan which I have taken for family financial issues. Need a suggestion or idea. Anyone earning money apart from monthly salary? If yes, can you please provide a way?

Hi, I am a 2023 graduate and currently working in a product based startup in Indiranagar. When I came to Bangalore a few months ago, it was all fun and exciting. I still love my work (working in multiple tech stacks). But somehow life outside the work has become somewhat boring. I do go on bike ride trips but again can't go every weekend. I play badminton and cricket sometimes but still feel bored sometimes. I don't go to clubs as I don't drink and smoke. Would love if you folks can suggest something?

When did we stop living? What are we chasing? Why did we make living so complex? Life used to be so simple. Why are so tensed and worried all the time? When will all this end ?

Hi Many developers have dream of starting side hustle but its hard for them to do productisation and sales at the same time. Like myself has many ideas but hard to do everything by myself. Wondering if anyone is doing side hustle and want to group up and collaborate then comment here.

Hello Everyone, I am a software engineer(backend mainly)with 5 YOE working with Python, working at a US based IT company. For most of my career i have worked remotely (just one month of going to office) During COVID, I started working with a client as a freelancer where developed a tool (home page picture attached) for him to do Cryptography trading at websites like Paxful and Noones. Initially we faced a lot of challenges with banks, but now we have steady the ship and doing on average $258,000 monthly since Apr 2023. I am getting a royalty of 0.5% on total revenue done montly for setting up the business and for maintenance. Any other work I do with him i charge $25 per hour. Now, my main question is how do I value this business??

What are some good secondary income sources for a full time Software Developer with 4 Yoe ??
