Are you in it for the money, the passion, or a mix of both? i'd love to hear your stories, experiences, and thoughts on the real motivations behind your projects!

I'm on a quest for that sweet spot where building cool stuff meets making a dime. It's like trying to balance code efficiency with the temptation of endless coffee refills - challenging but oh so rewarding!

A combination of both, building cool stuff is great but it doesn't pay the bills, however if I get to financial freedom then yes, building cool stuff for the fun for it will definitely be my goals!

@shahar_lotan not necessarily, sometimes I do build to just see if it's possible, then if I can monetize it to cover costs of the product + my time I will

@liam_oram So you wont build unless you have a strong monetization strategy?
