      This is the future. A 20 year old programmer writes an app in a week using Replit that makes over a thousand dollars a month.https://twitter.com/tobenxe/status/1318224394544697345 …

      And "ain't much" is serious underestimate, because this is an ongoing stream of revenue created in a fixed time. If you calculated the value of that revenue stream, the amount she made in a week would probably surprise her.

          no it doesn't, small scale, niched, recurring revenue is definetly possible. I built something in a month that over the course of two years paid my mortgage with little to no stress or hardship. It needs good context and a bucket of luck but it is real

          Where are the limits to this process? Are there any? Will we see individual dev create $bn companies single handedly?

          This shouldn't be interpreted like this. This only seeds a lot of misunderstanding in people. If someone had a brilliant idea or was lucky to create such app it doesn't mean anyone (including the author of the app) can robustly succeed by doing same/similar thing.

          Not mentioning thousands of those who did tons of honest work, but didn't succeed. This should be rather viewed as breadth-first search. Those who failed is sort of hidden cost of progress we rarely take into account.

          In my city (coastal CA) it costs $200k to buy $1k of multi family real estate. If this software is passive, this person basically solved the “but I don’t have the upfront money to buy that revenue stream” problem. Congratulations to them.
