Ask HN: 建立个人事业是不可能的吗?

2作者: fnoef4 个月前
我,和许多工程师一样,梦想着把对编程的热爱转化为副业。不用太疯狂,只要能达到普通软件工程师的收入水平就够了。而且,我和许多工程师一样,掉进了“先开发,用户自然来”的陷阱。 我尝试过开发、调试、进行 SEO 优化、与客户沟通,但似乎一直无法获得进展。一方面,有人说你需要开发来解决问题。你在一个细分市场中发现一个问题,比如为管道工提供会计服务,然后针对这个问题进行开发,接着就可以向这些人推广了。另一方面,我看到有人提倡“我只是开发了自己需要的东西,然后它就获得了成功”。这两种观点都有很多例子,但问题是它们相互矛盾。 这让我相信,大多数人要么是碰巧走运,然后事后套用一个框架来为他们的运气辩护,要么就是他们根本没有说出全部真相。 我希望摆脱拿固定工资的程序员工作,尤其是在“氛围编程”全面推行的“推动”下。但我不知道该如何着手创业。我拒绝相信所有通过副业获得成功并取代了工作的人都是骗子,但也许真相是,这需要的不是 7 个月,而是 7 年? 有没有人能分享一些有用的建议?

I, like many engineers, dream about turning my love to programming into a side business. Nothing crazy, but enough to replace an average SWE income. And I, like many engineers, fell into the &quot;build, and they will come&quot; trap.<p>I tried to build, calibrate, engage in SEO, talk to customers, but I can&#x27;t seem to find traction. On one hand, people say that you need to build to solve a problem. You find a problem in a niche, say accounting for plumbers, and build for that, then you just go and market to these people. On the other hand, I see people who advocate for &quot;I just built something that I needed, and it got traction&quot;. There are multiple examples for both camps, but the problem is that they contradict each other.<p>This leads me to believe that most people either get lucky and then apply a framework in retrospect to justify their luck, or they simply don&#x27;t tell the whole truth.<p>I want to escape a salaried coder job, more so with the &quot;push&quot; of vibe coding across the board. But I have no idea how to approach a business. I refuse to believe that everyone who succeeded with a side project and replaced their job - is a liar, but maybe the truth is that it does not take 7 months, but 7 years?<p>Anyone got something helpful to share in that regard?
