Thanks for the compliment but I'm not that smart :( I wish I was but there is so much to this world that it's hard for me to figure it all out.
I made stuff but they are rather boring. Things like web framework, API Libraries, etc. People call it reinventing the wheel! Out of all this the toughest one was designing a general purpose core API that's going to be used over and over again in said framework. Trying to design a set of libraries that can be changed years from now is insanely difficult but somehow worthwhile. It made me appreciate things like the "dot" notation and how wrong it could have gone but it's hard to market simplicity when everyone else is marketing complex stuff.
Then again, I suppose that's why people join startups. They like solving complex stuff. I like solving simple stuff or at least try to make the world a more simple place.
I suppose I could do a Minimally Viable Product where I clone something that exists and try to make it better but then I'll be putting on my entrepreneurial hat again!
- orky56 15y agoJust FYI there's more to entrepreneurship than just creating an MVP. It involves customer development, fundraising, etc to create a business as opposed to just a side project. If you go to a startup and do product type work, you'll have a chance to put your skills to use and will get to create things. Having a varied skill set is an asset not a liability. However if you can't use those skills to execute and focus, then you get the negative term of being a generalist.
