请问HN：建立一个独立的业务是不可能的。
我和许多工程师一样，梦想将我对编程的热爱转变为一项副业。并不是要做什么疯狂的事情，只是希望能替代一名普通软件工程师的收入。和许多工程师一样，我也陷入了“建造了就会有人来”的陷阱。
我尝试过构建、校准、参与搜索引擎优化、与客户交流，但似乎始终找不到合适的切入点。一方面，人们说你需要构建以解决一个问题。你找到一个特定领域的问题，比如为水管工提供会计服务，然后为此构建产品，再去向这些人进行市场推广。另一方面，我又看到一些人主张“我只是构建了我需要的东西，它就获得了关注”。这两种观点都有多个例子，但问题在于它们相互矛盾。
这让我相信，大多数人要么是运气好，然后在事后应用某种框架来为自己的运气辩护，要么他们根本没有说出全部真相。
我想逃离一份固定薪水的程序员工作，尤其是在如今普遍流行的“推波助澜”的编程氛围下。但我对如何开展一项业务毫无头绪。我拒绝相信每一个通过副项目成功并替代自己工作的人的话都是谎言，但也许真相是，这并不是七个月的事情，而是七年的努力？
有没有人能在这方面分享一些有用的经验？

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 "build, and they will come" trap.<p>I tried to build, calibrate, engage in SEO, talk to customers, but I can'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 "I just built something that I needed, and it got traction". 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't tell the whole truth.<p>I want to escape a salaried coder job, more so with the "push" 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?
