500k in 8 years for a software engineer is not that much money. Unless you live in a LCOL location, you'd probably would have to juggle between a day job and your side hustle.

Most people would think, ok, but once the content is ready, it'd pay itself. But things are not that easy. You have to answer questions, need to update your content for it to continue attracting customers.

There comes a time when you're fucking tired, and you put down every hour you worked on your content vs how much you got, and you find out that you're making 2x, 3x dollars an hour in your day job than you're making on hustle hours.

But not only that, those hours have a higher marginal cost for you, any additional hour after a full work day is increasingly more painful.
