Especially given that post-tax you would be making only a little bit more as an entry level software engineer.

I doubt that very much. $100/day post-tax = $36500, pre-tax is't about $42000. If you're making anywhere close to $42000/year as an entry level software engineer in SF, you're doing it wrong. Even entry level folks should be able to start at double that.

And that's with no vacations and no slow days.

Commenter therein did not specify the locale of the entry-level software engineer. Busking is much, much more reliant on locale than programming.

I was keeping it in the same context. The buskin therein was in SF, so I made a comparison with a software engineer salary in SF. If the busking was in Alabama, I'd expect the busking revenue to be quite different, and so would a comparable engineer's salary in that locale.
