Consulting your programming knowledge out is a very high ROI per hour (more so than coding).

Some people build plugins for ecosystems like Wordpress and that's pretty profitable.

I have a Slack marketplace app that is ramen profitable.

Write code to solve a problem and charge for it is probably the best way to monetize your programming hobby.

Was that an autocorrect error: "ramen profitable"? I like it, but I'm looking for more than ramen money. I'm guessing you meant "really profitable".

It's a reference to PG's essay titled "Ramen Profitable"[0]

I believe ramen profitable means, it generates enough profit for the person to be able to subsist entirely on ramen.

To piggy back on another person...I'd say "ramen profitable"....means maybe something like 2-3k per month recurring income, with maybe 5-10 hours of maintenance required to run the application.
