A very special announcement

I enjoy reading about your enthusiasm.

I have a slightly different problem - I have come up with some ideas in my past, and have started building them. I will investigate, try out new languages to solve the problem, but as soon as I have figured out my roadmap for solving the problem, I lose all interest.

I think it comes from the fact that I created many web-based projects when I was younger. So once I feel a "deja vu" kind of feeling, I gradually lose interest, because I've done it so many times before and don't get paid for it.

I am still waiting for that "omg I need this" idea to come forward and really stick :P

Anyways, I enjoyed the article. Thumbs up :)

Inspired from this comment by @dentych, I'm gonna put together a short book on building successful side projects and making multiple passive income.

"If you don't do something that's your passion, then you'll abandon it half way."

In the past six years I have started, and abandoned many projects. I gradually lose interest, because I've done it so many times before and don't get paid for it.
