Programming isn't music. It's a tool to solve a problem. Not knowing what to build is a solution looking for problem. Generate ideas by getting out into the real world and finding out the pain points in life. Build tools to fix those problems. Preferably, pick a problem which people are willing to pay money to solve.
Still not thinking of anything? Go outside and play until you find something.
Edit: I didn't read the entire article. I couldn't get beyond the music comparisons. Rockstars in music get a lot more money and fun than rockstars in programming do.

- chriswarbo 10y agoMusic isn't art. It's a tool to solve a problem. Not knowing what to compose is a solution looking for a problem. Generate ideas by getting out into the real world and finding out the pain points in life. Compose scores to accentuate those problems. Preferably, pick a problem which people are willing to pay money to have portrayed musically. Still not thinking of anything? Go outside and play until you find something.
