Ask HN: Uber or Lyft as a side job?

Has anyone tried to work for these companies as a driver? And is the money really legit ? I hear people can make good money just driving for them. Is it worth to maybe get into it as a full time job also?

    If you're a developer, you should double down on your software development skills.

    Depends on where you are. I used to drive for Lyft and made decent money.

    That being said, I would never do it again. It's stressful and you can make more money, with less risk, doing something with tech. Even if you aren't technical, I would argue that taking time to learn new skills to enhance your current career or help you transition to something with higher pay would be more valuable.
