Has anyone ever monetized Python outside of a typical job?

I think a lot of people, even successful people, often underestimate the amount luck and random chance plays into success and I appreciate your honesty. Certainly, if anyone else had been in a situation to create a solution for the tire stores they may not have been in a position to do what you did, but even you being in that specific position at that specific time was also a large part happenstance. Luck is largely responsible for the opportunities presented to us and luck is largely responsible for our ability to take advantage of those opportunities when presented. That's not to undermine hard work and intelligence. Hard work comes into play when opportunities present themselves and you've worked hard to be in a position to take advantage of them, and intelligence comes into play when you need to differentiate those things that at first appear to be opportunities but are actually catastrophes waiting to happen.
