Ask HN: Besides a job or freelancing, how would you make money with coding?

I'm not talking about stuff like launching a company that could take years to take off. I tried bounty hunting for a while, but it seems that a lot of companies don't care that much or are dishonest when it comes to paying you, I found weaknesses that could be used to siphon tens of thousands of dollars and didn't get a single $ when reporting them through their bounty hunting program(even though they fixed it a few months after my multiple reports). Do you have any ideas of ways to make money with code besides getting a job? I'm okay with gray area stuff, as long as it's not straight up hacking. Btw I'm pretty good at automation/making bots if you have any ideas in that area. Thanks guys :)
