Should be simple and resilient, can last for a long time.

Doesn't require a lot of maintenance, large multiskilled teams, or dependency on services or API's that have a tendency to deprecate or disappear. Something which is not easy to compromise or hack.

Is it a stupid question? The closest I can think of is a static site generator with some kind of self-hosted database but I'm not aware of any.

I'm still chasing the dream of having a side-business and earning some side money, but with web apps it means mostly SaaS. Personally I hate rent-seeking behaviors (I'm not alone, it seems - "Tell HN: A Conversation Needs to Be Had over Subscription Software" [2]), so I'm trying to know what people are doing regarding desktop apps.

Are people still building desktop apps? More specifically, can you make a living (or earn some side money) in 2022 by selling a desktop app?\nPlease share it with us, or are we doomed to build web apps and SaaS for the foreseeable future?

As someone now in their early 30s I'm starting to wonder what the mid-late career as a software developer looks like.

Do you have to go into management to continue progressing upwards in pay and influence? I know this isn't the case at some companies (e.g. Google), but is it rare or common to progress as an individual contributor?

Is there a plateau in pay? Is there a drop in pay switching jobs after a certain number of years experience because places are looking for 5+ instead of 20+?

Are older devs not looking for new jobs because they have families and want more stability/are focussed elsewhere?

Is becoming a specialist rather than a generalist the answer?

And lastly: if you're in your late 30s, 40s, 50s, what are you doing at your job? What are the older people in your workplace doing?","time":1394461088,"title":"Ask HN: What happens to older developers?","type":"story"}]]
