Just curious, what do you guys actually do for a living?
Scrolling through comments here, you can tell there’s a huge mix of people, some clearly technical, some more creative, some who sound like they’ve been in the working world for decades, others who feel like students or early in their career.
No particular reason for asking, just genuinely curious what kind of professions make up this community. Feel free to keep it as vague or specific as you’re comfortable with.
Drop your profession below, and if you want, one thing about it people usually don’t expect.

It really depends on the software and all of the surrounding factors. If you want to send me a direct message with a quick description of the software and your circumstances I’m happy to give you my thoughts. There aren’t really “right” answers in this field, just different ways to achieve different goals.
To give you a few quick thoughts. Yes, software can be protectable by copyright or patent, but each I’ll have different strengths and weaknesses. Open sourcing is pretty misunderstood generally. That said, it can definitely be the foundation for a successful business under the right circumstances. As for a one man start up, good luck. It sounds almost impossible to be honest. I don’t think I truly know of any successful one man startups, but it depends on what success looks like to you.
As I said above, message me with more info and I’ll do my best to provide some actually helpful tips.
