Here's an interesting blog post about becoming a successful software developer: how to become rich even if nobody is following you on twitter. The writer says that you should try writing software that will make you a dollar a day. That's 30 bucks a month. That's not really much to live off of, but if you keep doing this, you'll eventually have a perspective shift into generating more with less time. I don't quite know what this means. Your ideas become better? You just write better code? You strike gold by making the next twitter/facebook/youtube? You stumble into a niche market that you write the de-facto killer app? I dunno, but I think I'll give it a shot. I've got about a half dozen ideas in my head for software projects. Some are trivial little things that probably won't be worth more than a second glance but some could potentially be fun and useful apps. I'm also getting into mobile java development and I think there's a lot of room for good apps to be developed.
