What's crazy is this is not even that much money but is life changing for people. $3 - $5 million is what a small business owner can sell for if they are successful.

I think programmers instead of grinding leetcode and wasting time, should push the boundaries of software and build things for themselves and others.

If even one project takes off and is novel in any way, you can very easily make that much and retire if you so wish and the world will be a much better place because of your software.
