Ask HN: How to come up with a useful, coding hobby project?
I get bored on weekends. Of course I go out and do things, but I also find myself bored at home sometimes with not much to do, lots of mental energy, and not in the mood to watch TV shows or play video games.
I'd love to start a hobby project that:
* ..would teach me something new (i.e. TCP protocol, or redis, or..) * ..would keep me "entertained" for potentially 100+ hours * ..I would NOT be tempted to start monetizing. It has to be absolutely useless
As an example, some time ago I had fun implementing this book: https://www.amazon.com/Ray-Tracer-Challenge-Test-Driven-Renderer/dp/1680502719
This time I'd like to go deeper into some other topic; I don't think I spent more than 20 hours cumulatively on that book.
