Ask HN: How can I find something worthwhile to do?
I've been a decent mid-level dev professionally for a long time now but been in a sort of rut for about as long as I can remember. Outside of work (which is going fine), I just don't have anything programming related to do. I keep myself busy playing with new tools and languages when I can be bothered but if I really think about it, I just don't have any problems to solve with these tools. I could lock myself in an empty room for days and come up with nothing . I've been waiting for an "idea" to hit me for nearly 10 years, I don't use any open source software that I could contribute to at all, and I lack the creativity to come up with "just for fun" projects. I feel very stagnant and I just don't know how to move forward anymore. Am I just hard-wired to be mediocre?
