Ask HN: What are company or side project ideas that you have but will never do? While we have limited time on Earth, our capacity for what could be seems limitless. What is a feasible project or company you would pursue if you had more time? |

I'm not like that, I've already retired, there's way more things that I'm not going to do now than there ever was ;)
Always wanted to build an electronic instrument company.
That's it.
Is that so bad?
Built plenty of instruments, and built a company, but it wasn't an actual instrument company.
Now I don't have as many decades ahead of me as a younger me would have, so it's good to put it in perspective.
It really is the kind of thing I would like to see people do more of, even if I don't make any kind of big splash myself. Hardware may be hard but I grew up with it, and it used to be a lot more common pursuit than it is now.
The only thing better would be to have an idea what kind of company or project someone actually is moving in the direction of.
Even if people don't reveal very much about their favorite project due to stealth or things like that, it would be good to see some abstract considerations from what people have on their mind anyway.
Especially when it comes to "feelings" that go along with ideas that are good enough to make some entrepreneurial effort toward.
Or come out of retirement for, no time like the present :)
Say the LLM decides to write a rest API in JS today. In 3 weeks it might re evaluate and redo it in Golang.
I would need hundreds of millions to even try though
