请问HN：如果个人代码不是“应用程序”，你如何实现盈利？
嘿，HN，
最近我一直在思考这个问题，想请教一下——如果你的个人代码不太适合经典的产品或SaaS模型，你是如何实现盈利的？
例如：
* 我有一个训练好的机器学习模型，能够很好地解决一个小众任务，但将其转化为一个完整的应用程序似乎有些过于复杂。
* 我写了一个命令行工具，能够比我找到的任何其他工具更好地处理日志文件，但它太专业化了，无法 justify 成立一家公司。
* 我在不同的编程语言（Python、Go、Rust）中构建了一些小功能，能够完成一些很酷的事情——数据清理、API 抓取、PDF 生成——但它们本身都不算是“产品”。
我正在探索将这类工作打包和展示的方法：也许作为付费 API、小功能服务，甚至是其他人可以接入的“口袋 FaaS”实例。
我很好奇这里有没有人尝试过类似的事情——或者你是否见过将技术工具或实用程序转变为可持续副收入的创意方式。
提前感谢大家分享想法或例子！

Hey HN,<p>I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately and wanted to ask — how do you monetize your personal code if it doesn’t really fit into a classic product or SaaS model?<p>For example:<p>* I have a trained ML model that solves a niche task really well — but turning it into a full-blown app seems like overkill.<p>* I’ve written a CLI tool that processes log files better than anything else I’ve found, but it’s too specialized to justify making a company out of it.<p>* I built a few small functions in different languages (Python, Go, Rust) that do neat things — data cleanup, API scraping, PDF generation — but none of them are “products” by themselves.<p>I’m exploring ways to package and expose this kind of work: maybe as paid APIs, small function services, or even “pocket FaaS” instances others can plug into.<p>Curious if anyone here has tried something similar — or if you’ve seen creative ways to turn technical tools or utilities into sustainable side income.<p>Thanks in advance for sharing ideas or examples!
