All the Apps Have Been Written

How many times do we convince ourselves that all of the great ideas have already been done?

“All the marketable software has already been written.”

That sounds like a true enough statement. How am I going to make any money writing software when all the app ideas have been taken and the established software companies are already controlling the market? What software can I write that will allow me to earn a living?

Of course I said this in 1982...

Of course it's not true. Technology evolves, needs evolve, new concepts spring from the ether, etc. This article is a great bit of inspiration when you find yourself feeling...well, uninspired. 

“Find something in your life that is broken and write software to fix it.” The best software is personal. It’s something you need. It heals a wound in your life and makes you happy."
