I'm interested in your side gig suggestion (created an HN acct just to ask, time to quit lurking after all these years). I'm just not seeing any things that can be done. It's probably me, but I sure could use someone making some suggestions to help get started. I have the patience for 9-12 months, but I don't have any insights on what to do or how to figure it out. (my skills include many years of linux, perl, python, and java).

I found this video a few days ago, good overview of the things you could do to make money as a dev: https://youtu.be/dRHsg6hWcNo

Not necessarily a LOT of money, mind, but there are tons of ways of extracting at least some value from engineering skills
