    I have ideas for personal projects which I keep track of/get to at some point. As far as making money/entrepreneur stuff... I used to have a lot of them when I was younger (say 10 years ago) and I was dumber then too. I also could not build an app end to end back then... now that I can, I don't have the same passion as I used to. I also realize that my ideas are probably not valuable or don't have any actually. I used to be really into that whole entrepreneur thing, visit Indie Hackers and what not. I'm aware even some nice salary isn't going to let you scale/be super rich. So yeah... idk I hope I find something or enjoy making something that happens to make money.

    Remember that all science, mathematics, education, theology comes from understanding an idea. So ideas are valuable to society. If you think they're worthless, then I don't want your ideas, I want people in academia and industry to have good ideas and push society forward. Science, mathematics, theories, research, theology all are built on the shoulders of giants, with ideas that provide foundations of truth, wisdom and understanding to push society forward. It's not always the person that has the ideas that puts the idea into execution.

    The more ideas you have and the more you work on them the more you grow as a person. I also work on building software to put my ideas to the test.

    I journal/blog all my computer and technology related ideas on GitHub out in the open.

    I have published 700+ ideas on GitHub. I create a repository called "ideas" then I journal 100-400 ideas using markdown and then create a new repository and repeat. They're all in markdown and written as simple numbered markdown headings and a few one paragraph to a page of notes. They should be enough to understand the idea and do something with it. I reread my ideas repeatedly and I uncover new ideas from my existing ideas. Ideas should be built on and improved precept by precept.

    For reference, they're about software design, software architecture, parallelism, multithreading, efficiency, growth, futurism, progress.

    I hold onto ideas until the market takes them from me.
