Ask HN: What should I work on/develop?

2 points by king_terry 1y ago ↗ HN

Hi, so recently I've been meaning to start a project, a personal project, but I'm not sure what to build/develop? All over the internet what I keep seeing are either very simple project, like some service with basic APIs, or really just some AI Agentic mumbo jumbo stuff that I completely am not interested in.

What kind of projects are there that go 'in the middle' ? Or could maybe be useful and used, hell even monetized, what not?

I'm tired of all this AI slop going around, I want to do some engineering; I just don't know what to build!

A personal problem you have that you think you could solve?

I have the same problem of deciding what to build for monetization too.

What is your expertise? Things you know you are good at and can prove that you are good at despite any possible naysayers?
