I completely agree, making money writing software is so convoluted. Like, why can't I submit my work to a publisher like all the other authors do? Where are the software publishing companies? Instead, we're expected to also come up with a business model around our software. Then, surprise, you find yourself not really writing software anymore because all of your energy is spent running this business thing you set up just so you could support yourself so you could be a soft..ware...writer. oops. It's a bummer man. Like, yeah, you probably shouldn't have used the MIT license, but like, we have to be lawyers too now? GD.
