I've been a successful programmer for a long time, but I've always failed at making money online. I've built many pieces of software that people use every day. I've been lousy at making money any other way online, so I hope to learn from everyone here, and give back whatever I can!

Why do not you offer your service on websites like Freelancer and Upwork ?

if his work is hacking related - gonna be a cold time here .
Hacking means getting someone else's (or even your own) software to work right! Just FYI. Yeah, it can have bad connotations, but I didn't mean it that way.
 
What sort of everyday software have you made?
 
Probably because he doesn't want to do thousand dollar jobs for ten bucks. At freelancer you can never compete with third world countries.
That's exactly right! I'm employed to write code that is maintainable by anyone for many years. It takes experience to do that. I've hired cheap freelancers in the past, but the code was unusable. I guess YMMV. Imagine getting the neighborhood kid to fix your Maserati. It might work out for you, but I'm not going to try to compete with the kid, you know what I mean?
 
what languages do you usually code in?
Well, just off the top of my head - C, C++, PHP, lua, JavaScript, Java, Python, Ruby, go, lots more. It usually takes a few minutes to pick up a new language, but many hours or days or even weeks to write good code with it. So having a long list is quite meaningless in the end!

What sort of everyday software have you made?
I'm employed to write embedded code (robots, medical devices). I also have to write the user interface code, testing infrastructure, network servers, web interfaces, etc, etc. I shan't say which company, because I'm here on company time :), (but I will be staying late today anyway). I just have an overwhelming urge to learn another way to make money online. I feel like I love coding too much, and that it's making me one-dimensional. Is this the forum to express regret about life directions? :p.

Thank you everyone for the nice and interesting questions, but I'm off to learn your wonderful world now!

int n = Hello Nickle

char *string [welcome to BHW];
for (int i = 2; i > U; i++) {
printf("Highly Appreciated, MOD Edit!");
scanf("Read, Read, &Read [Rules of BHW - SEO forum]);

}

}

Very cute, thank you :). I now understand that hacking is not welcome here, but that really wasn't my intent, honest!
BTW, syntax error :p.
 
How long have you been coding? What are some of the best ways to learn programming? Which programming language should i learn first? What is the easiest programming language to learn? Thanks!

Your questions are unanswerable without first telling what you want to use programming to do. It's a different matter if you want to play with IoT, a completely different path for SaaS and a total abyss of difference for research.

I want to learn web development.

If you start with JavaScript, it may hold your interest longer, because there are more ways to play with it. I've tried to teach several others to code, but the first obstacle seems to be getting them to stay engaged. Most give up at the first hurdle.

It's similar to the stories you'll read here. "My friends begged me to teach them how I make money online but they quit after realizing it takes work". People are lazy and without goals.
 
Well, good then, work has never bothered me! In the past, I would purchase a course from a "guru" then work and work and work, and get minimal results. I'd persist for months and months and months, believing I could make it work, but then eventually admit the method was fatally flawed, regardless of what was promised. Then I'd find a "better" guru, and repeat. Each time I'd think I knew how to spot the gurus who only talked the talk but never actually worked what they taught, but I'd be wrong again. So here I am, hoping to stop the vicious cycle! :)
