> It's a paradox, but I've found that my best ideas now come from building other ideas.

Building and failing and building and failing might be a faster way of getting to something great than vetting, vetting, vetting, building, vetting, vetting building...



It’s only faster if you have the skills personally to build (which is many, but not all, HN users). If you don’t then vetting is a better place to start.


You have to, at the very least, vet the problem domain first though, no?

Building hundreds of AviSynth filters won't bring in a cent.


Part of this is learning from the “failures”. If you are building AviSynth filter #742, then maybe you are skipping that step.

On the other hand, if you are having fun and learning something along the way, who cares?
