> Why I'm Done Making Desktop Applications

To save you a click: It's harder to monetize desktop apps than webapps.

Lol. LMAO, even.

Didn't HN have a "no clickbait titles" rule?

it's amazing how freeing working an office job is. my personal projects don't have concerns such as monetization.

On the other hand I spent 25 years selling desktop software and never once had an annual review. I never had to submit an application for time off. I never had to ask permission for a dentist appointment. If the weather was good I could take the day off and go for a bike ride. I didn’t attend any scrum meetings nor did I have to argue about what framework to use with a PM who couldn’t code FizzBuzz.
