In terms of making my first sale or in terms of actually sitting down at the computer to write code?

I'm more interested on the second, as the first one seems just a consequence of being disciplined on first one but adding whatever else than code, but still producing / doing deep work, like any marketing related copywriting stuff, design, which is usually code anyways, etc...

I recently came upon lots of free time and I'm more and more inclined to do one side project, I don't think it will free me to need a 9to5 job in the meantime, but at least I can be productive without being bossed around and just do whatever I want with it.

Might as well try to launch something public instead of acummulating unused private repos on github, I mean they're free now (thx microsoft overlords) but still failures on forgotten drawers...

Sorry for my random rant, thanks for sharing your experience!
