You know what's funny? For the past 4 years, I've been trying to build apps by finding problems that need solving. I failed at least 10 times. I got pretty good at spotting these problems... but here's the twist - twice, I watched big companies like OpenAI and Apple launch exactly what I was working on! At first, it was frustrating. But then I realized something - when people look at the world, they often see the same problems. It's not that I was wrong; it's just that I was competing with teams that move fast, have money, and have a huge reach. So now I'm looking for industry gaps that are too niche for big companies to care about. I believe targeting several niche markets with the same product can result in a great business. Wish me luck π€

I think it is both. For example, I haven't had family around since I was 18, so I was not able to live with my parents or get help. I had to learn and experience everything from my own mistakes. I was in debt for some time when I was young; I didn't have enough to support myself and my wife in a foreign country at one point, but I was able to make it out and build a financial buffer. Many people can't do that, especially under the insane pressure from ads, social media, and lack of money management skills. When I see that people take car loans for 25% APR, it makes me depressed because they don't understand that they will ruin their lives.

@JulienLeg78 Yes, it is both, I think. As a developer, I have a hard time switching gears to marketing and sales. π

@mujahid_anum Amazing! How do you stick with a habit of writing? I usually forget after some time and then stop doing it.

@ph_bernard On top of my head - a web search to get a few pages for research, conduct research, and the next steps - to generate an audio and a picture. All in one AI prompt

@ph_bernard I understand. My problem is that it doesnβt showcase the technology. I mean, Iβm watching AI workflows - new cool tech - and they are showcasing it via Weather API π«£
