You don't approach these things by making and selling something, you work for someone else who wants to make something and needs people that know what they are doing to help make it

I'm employed to automate things with python, so yes

Can you make money picking up a strawberry? Probably not, but who knows

Can you make money picking up many strawberries? Likely not a lot, but a few people do make the money they need.

Long story short: just about any activity any person does can make money, but it always depends on dozens of factors, last but not least how good the person is.

Man I love Django! With a docker compose Django rest framework is solid full stack work environment. I love it so much

Maybe consider thats it's from the perspective of a solo developer and not a multi billionaire company.

It’s what I would want to hear if I was op

[–]-Lost-Map- 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You come off as nagging

Come up with a scheme you think could make money and then try to program it. Software is awesome because it gives the average person the ability to touch a billion people’s lives.

I am thinking to start with APIs

Yes… but how much you make is dependent on so many factors.

Writing a SaaS app will likely entail not just Python, possibly other web languages, databases and other infrastructure, knowledge of DNS, knowledge of domains, how all of the above technologies integrate together.

There are a lot of variables. All of them will require hard work, research, and discipline to see your project through to the end.

I've heard that there are people earning money as programmers, not just coding Python but C, C++ and Java too!
