问HN：如何开始自己的可持续自筹资金的业务？
我是一名在大型科技公司工作了十年的资深软件工程师。现在的我对每天的朝九晚五工作感到厌倦，尤其是面对那些压倒性的工作要求和随机的优先级变化，这些都要求我在规定的工作时间之外继续工作。
在我二十多岁的时候，尤其是还没有家庭的时候，我可以做到这一点，但我意识到，最近我越来越难以管理一切，尤其是抚养家庭。我希望每天能和我的孩子们在一起，不想再过40小时以上的工作周。
我觉得一个可持续的工作节奏是每天工作3到4小时，去创造一些东西。我热爱创造，因此这总是让我感到兴奋，但我对工作中需要在组织间产生影响的人员方面并没有那么兴奋或感到挑战，尤其是作为大型科技公司的高级工程师。
无论如何，这些只是我思考已久的背景：我想辞掉我的大型科技工作，去做一些自己的事情，赚取足够的收入来维持生活并帮助抚养我的家庭。从财务上讲，我现在有一些缓冲，但还不足以完全实现财务自由，所以我需要一些收入来维持房贷、孩子的开销和生活方式。
我该从哪里开始？我应该探索哪些想法？如果你们中有人做过这样的事情，你们的经历是怎样的？

Experienced Software Engineer working in Big Tech since the past decade. I'm at a point in my life where I'm feeling pretty done with a daily 9-5 job especially because of the overwhelming demands and random priority changes that expect you work beyond scheduled hours.<p>I could do this in my 20s and before I had a family but I've realized that it has become increasingly hard for me lately to manage everything especially raising a family. I'd like to spend time daily with my kids and don't want to pull 40+ hour work weeks anymore.<p>I feel like a sustainable pace would be working 3-4 hours a day and building something. I love building things so that always excites me but I'm not so excited/challenged by the people aspect of a job where you are required to be influential across orgs especially in as a Senior engineer in BigTech.<p>Anyway, all of this is just context for what I've been thinking since long: to quit my BigTech job and build something of my own on the side that generates just enough income for me to sustain and help raise my family. I'm at a stage financially where I have some cushion but not enough to be fully FIRE'd so I will need some income to sustain mortgage + kids + lifestyle.<p>Where do I start? What ideas do I explore? If any of you did it, what was your experience like?
