…If so, how does it workout for you? Im starting my career in software development and I’d love to also develop some of my own ideas in swift. I’ve done probably 10 hours of swift and i feel like im picking it up well.

I want to be able to develop iOS apps alongside my fulltime job for the extra experience (im open to the idea of becoming an iOS developer, full time or contract sometime in the future) and possibly income but im just wondering if any other full time SWE’s do the same thing? Im aware that solo development is extremely difficult especially to make a living but I’d love to get myself in a position where part of my income can be solo development

Ideally once I have senior level experience, Ill begin working software development contracts as these pay a lot more in the UK. this would also give me some time between contracts to work on my own ideas.
