After complaining a lot though.

😆

I have thousands of ideas and have thousands of interests

Do you collect these anywhere? Are they public? Sometimes a good idea executed well by someone else is better than a good idea that just never sees the light of day...

Not really. I just keep them to myself. It usually goes like this:
1 - Start a new Side project
2 - Research a lot
3 - Watch videos on the subject
4 - Start building the product
5 - Get bored
6 - Delete the folder and move on
7 - Repeat.

I'm currently trying to break the cycle learning Rust and sticking to it. But I've already thought on giving up a few times.

These ideas would be great blog posts IMO. Both because someone else might get excited and do it, but also because someone else might chime in and help you get excited

That sounds great. I'd love to get some encouragement to build the things I'm genuinely interested in. If more people were involved it would probably break my vicious cycle!!

Thank you for the idea.
