Effort

Many developers want passive income streams but dislike traditional freelancing or content creation.

Build IDE plugins that anonymously share useful code patterns (with consent), compensating developers when others use them.

Developers would participate for supplemental income with minimal overhead.

Start with simple pattern sharing for one language/IDE, then expand.

Risk: Requires critical mass of participants to generate meaningful earnings.
