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 :)

Every product you build should start with satisfying a need. In software there is always something to improve.

How frustrating is fixing bugs, errors, testing someone else's code that doesn't have unit tests? How hard is to make estimates for feature development?

Last week happened to me that all of the features I built stopped working on the sandbox env.

As said there is always a way to create a product for developers
