Iām a full stack engineer working at Numu, in charge of developing web and mobile apps, handling AWS applications and devOps tasks. I may also write sporadically about my technical adventures.
I really want to run my own software company. Initially I wanted to develop a product, something I can call my own. I had a couple of ideas I thought about pursuing, none of them good though š .
I want my software company to provide services to businesses who don't have technical expertise. Handle everything from development to operations maintenance ,etc.
But this would be related to development I guess. Other than that I've always wanted to open my own bakery with a little cafe attached to it. Some place homey where you could come with your friends have a muffin and coffee and just hang around.
Another thing that I'm really starting to like is blogging. Tech and non-technical. Create my own website, get a small but steady user base and generate a bit passive income. Unfortunately between working on a startup and procrastinating I don't give it a lot of time.
These are great! Starting a software venture is totally doable, it just takes finding the right idea to really dive into. Save up for a while so you can afford to not make money while you get started, and then dive in if you really believe in it :)
A bakery is probably a little harder financially since you have to invest in space and equipment. But I totally relate to this too. Cooking can be so relaxing, and it would be a joy to provide that type of atmosphere for locals to enjoy.
Blogging can be daunting, but it really doesn't have to be! Take a look at Gatsby or Gridsome if you want to build your own, or use Medium/DEV if you don't want your own platform. I launched jwkicklighter.com after about a day of work using Gridsome + Netlify, and publishing a new post is as easy as writing a markdown document and committing the changes! I finally launched mine in response to getting some traction on a post in this community, so that could potentially be a good starting place as well. Just find a topic you want to cover and go for it!

Oh, I have an ongoing fantasy about running a coffee shop/bookstore/event space/maker space! Basically I just want to have a magnet for cool people so I can always have cool people around. š

That sounds awesome. Originally I wanted to start a restaurant, but switched to a cafe/bakery.
