Some developers chase money. Others chase problems worth solving. And here's the kicker: the money almost always follows the right problems.
Why Focus on Problems?
When you tackle real problems:
- You learn faster.
- You build things that matter.
- You attract opportunities naturally.
Instead of asking "How do I make money?", ask "What problem do people desperately need solved?"
Examples from the Field
- Open-source libraries that solve pain points for thousands of developers.
- Startups that streamline inefficient processes.
- Automation scripts that save entire teams hours every week.
The most successful devs aren't chasing a paycheck—they're chasing impact. 💡
My Challenge to You
Pick one problem this week—big or small—and solve it. Share your solution online. The more value you create, the more doors open.
Money is a byproduct of problem-solving, not the starting point.
