And there I thought that the ideas were the easy part :-)
Frankly I'm not sure you can succeed if you're just a mercenary (not trying to insult you).
To me it seems you're approaching the problem the wrong way : it shouldn't be about doing like everybody else or trying to be successful just because you think it will make you feel good but it should be about releasing this f* idea that is nagging you since years and that nobody can do better than you.
I have one of those ideas since 2007. One day ... ;-)
- gt2 9y agoCare to say what the problem is that your idea solves?
- jmnicolas 9y agoFrankly I'd rather keep it to myself. I'm baffled that nobody thought about it since 10 years. But right now I'm working on a back-end code generation tool : the user would just draw a data schema and once done get a database (as a script or as a container or directly in his cloud of choice) and scaffolding for the API. The data schema is based on a specific method that makes it simple to think about your data without having to grok foreign keys. I'm not sure I can pull it off but I want to see how far I can go.
