I’m curious if anyone has any experience selling source code. Not so much freelancing, but just selling code you’ve already written.

I’m living in medium to high cost of living area in the USA. I’m sick of the full-time employment - layoff - job hunt - full-time employment cycle. I don’t see the employer / employee relationship getting any better.

Looking for other ideas.

    As in via a product? Code itself isn’t worth much. It’s the stuff we make with it that has value.

      Kind of. I saw there were marketplaces like Xpiece, GitMarket, etc popping up and I’m wondering if anyone tried those or something like it. They don’t seem to be exactly branded as ‘template marketplaces’ like a lot of the old source code sites were, but maybe there’s no difference.
