Ask HN: Finding an idea of your own to work on as a programmer
3 by aworkerbee | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN. I'm the only web dev at a small company. Over the past year the software that I've created has grown to generate 6 figures in monthly revenue. I'm not the only one who works in the company, there are other people doing sales + business things but I've made the product. It hurts me that I'm unable to come up with an idea of my own to put my labor to that I can then sell without having someone lay it out for me. I feel dumb, to be honest. So my question is, how the hell do you come up with an idea of your own that you can sell? The business I work for isn't revolutionary or anything, but the owners have decades of experience in it so they know the market.
