Hi all,

I'm a software developer and I've been in IT for over 20 years professionally. I want to focus my weekends and time when I'm not at work building a company but I wanted to build a piece of software that I can focus the company around.

The problem is I have no creativity, I don't know what to make. I do however intend on spending the next 20 years everyday adding to this software. Where do I start? If nothing else, if I can build something that would allow me a 100k income then I'd be happy to do it full time for those 20 years as well.

Any comments/recommendations/flames welcome :)

Twenty years is quite a long time. Turnover for games is like 3-5 years. Software is longer, but within ten years, it's difficult to stay. Metaverse has a chance to be quite long, but it's also very seasonal.

For twenty years, it should be something more like an ecosystem. If you want to build one, I think you should consider IoT. Start simple from place that you like in your house like toilet, terrace, basement, etc.
