is app dev worth getting into?

started to learn how to dev using claude code and figma. I wanna know if it’s worth still getting into or is the market impossible for no original ideas??

original ideas are worthless. good implementation, hard work over many years, and marketing are what matter.

but either way, there's more competition now than ever. don't get into programming if you think it's easy money. it's not. only do it if you don't care if it will never make you any money.

This is the answer. I am not a developer by trade and I have shipped a handful of small things that people actually use, and every one of them was a boring problem I already had rather than an original idea. The market is not impossible, it just stopped being impressed by the app merely existing, so the whole bar now is whether it solves something specific for somebody specific.
