    What's stopping you?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    At a first glance, I would say I have no ideas. I have no idea who I want to help. At a deeper level, it's the mindset I have developed that I have nothing of value to give to anyone and that I am not a person of value or substance.

    You're aimless and bored because you need a goal. If you could have any piece of software out there, what would it be? What would it do? Think on that, and then start working on it. But this is only for the goal of building software. As for your other question, the forum cannot help you make...
