Everyone’s obsessed with “learn to code, get a job, earn ₹X LPA.” Cool. But nobody tells you this: There are APIs out there charging $2400 for just 1000 requests. That’s not a salary. That’s a line item. Let that sink in. While most people are trying to become “hireable,” a small group is building things so valuable that companies happily burn lakhs just to use them. Different game. You can: → Keep optimizing your resume → Or start building leverage Because the real money isn’t in doing work. It’s in owning something people can’t operate without. And yeah, it’s uncomfortable to hear… But if your skill can’t generate more value than it costs to run an API, you’re still playing small. No hate. Just reality. Build things that print money. Not just salaries.
