Comment on The economics of writing technical booksparent

Comments

How much pay per hour do you think it will make it worthwhile to consider the book a success from authors point of view?

I'm thinking of a scenario where people are paid to write the book rather than from book sales..

Probably impossible to get close to a decent SW Engineer salary from writing at least in the US

It’s more like writing technical books at least somewhat on the side help enable that decent SW Engineer salary or tech professional more broadly.
