You don’t need one.
As a software engineer, you don’t get paid for simply writing code, people pay u for problem-solving.
for example, RecolorLife.com and Headshoti.com generate around $800 USD.
Now I will expand for real estate.
I wrote a little bit about it here: https://jairojair.com/articles/coding-just-for-fun/
I really didn't think many people would see this post, thank you for the comments and discussion.
The central idea is that technology is cyclical, new tools will emerge and the way we work will change.
However, in my view, using tools doesn't make you less or more of a craftsman; creating something different from mass production does.
In a world where everything is very similar, websites are copies of each other, every new startup has the same color palette, creating something with small flaws, but different, is a distinguishing factor.
Perfection lies in imperfection.
Keep coding!
Some people like old cars, others prefer Teslas, and that's perfectly fine.
The world will change, and that's not a bad thing.
Congrats for your code! it's yours, unique and beautiful.
