I think a lot of devs don't want to sell.

Even if they say so - building something is fun - I get my ideas into code I decide.

When customers start paying it stops being fun and people start having demands/deadlines/requests/issues.

Once you start rolling with project that is used by others it opens can of worms that is support.

I have wet dreams about building "Super Trubo Combo Tool - that solves everything ^TM", next moment I recall all the support calls and emails my boss is getting I don't want any of that.

It is the same with people who want to "learn programming", they could get a nice job and nice salary for that so they always say to me they would like to learn, but when they just think about sitting in front of computer for 12 hours reading documentation - well they just bail out instantly or after first 10 mins when something is not working as they wanted.

I'm currently writing a post about being a monasteric code machine where I have a project I love but don't want to market or sell it... yet.

Instead, im going to bring decades of side projects together into one platform and then just try to use it to build a few businesses. Nothing major, but i want it to be a platform to play with.
