If I lived ten lifetimes I would never run out of things to build. Each project suggests five new projects along the way. It’s harder if you think about building for the masses. It’s easy if you think about building for yourself. But yeah everyone gets creative block sometimes when you’re not on a roll already. It’s actually crazy the breadth and depth of research that is out there. And in computers, it’s not like math where it’s proven to end here with this proof or whatever. People are just writing papers about something they made. There’s tons of room to get in there and do something new.

>If I lived ten lifetimes I would never run out of things to build. Each project suggests five new projects along the way. Heh. Same :) And with combining existing different app ideas or features into new ones (meaningfully), it gets even better. No dearth at all. An excess, actually, as you said. >It’s actually crazy the breadth and depth of research that is out there. Totally. Speaks to my point above. >And in computers, it’s not like math where it’s proven to end here with this proof or whatever. Ha ha, true. But there are also corollaries, which can sometimes become theorems in their own right. Joint QED, bro :)

> Each project suggests five new projects along the way. This depends on the nature project, no? I've been working for years on advancing the state-of-the-art for spatio-temporal comb filter design for NTSC (SD)TV signals and I've made good progress along the way, but at no point did my project give me additional itches to scratch.

  Often it's just things that make your life as a developer easier.

Do you finish them? Because I have the problem that I never finish the things that I work on :D I always come up with another idea and another and nothing gets to the stage for others to actually use it :)
