We must protect competent programmers and help them create and sell closed-source software for profit. Whether it’s a solo indie dev or a small team forming a private company, we need to them to succeed.
We must grow the ranks of successful initiatives as those listed under [Exemplary Software](/operation2030/intro/exemplary-software). Note that while our focus is shipping real-world software, we also recognize the importance of industrial research or teaching material such as *Handmade Hero*, *Mr. 4th Labs*, or *Ink & Switch*. These projects (though not directly commercial products) have been crucial in shaping the community's values.

By 2030, it must no longer be daunting for a Handmade dev to find a golden path into the industry. If a teenager dreams of becoming a low-level programmer, the answer should be obvious: "Join Handmade Cities—that’s the best place to start."

To achieve this, we’ll expand our conferences to form partnerships with organizations providing funding or grants to Handmade devs. Handmade Cities itself is a small business funded by ticket sales, not an angel investor, so we’re keen to connect ticket holders with life-changing opportunities instead. Any alliances that we build shall conform to our [core principles](/operation2030/philosophy/core-principles).

Imagine a future where attending a conference means more than just learning from speakers: it’s a chance to meet people foaming at the mouth to fund your next project or publish your game. A place where job booths are filled to the brim with lean companies (not corporations or VC-funded startups) offering meaningful work, great pay, and real autonomy.
