People that do it, usually do it because they themselves being compared to others (by their own or by others), so they don’t know another way.
If it works for you, go ahead, but if it won’t, remember you can do it your way, even though it might be different than others.
In my opinion, having a job is not something that is done because others do it, but it’s done because you want to do it. But if you don’t want to do it, change to something you’d want to do.
“Doing things” is part of the human core, so you have it in your core, regardless of others. “Job” is just getting paid for “Doing things”.
How do you make the sever available via the Internet? Do you host it on a cloud provider (e.g. AWS EC2)? or do you self host on your own bare metal machine?
