Does Harry Potter always know what's in his presents, because he speaks Parceltongue?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

How would that help when the presents are locked behind the gryffindor?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

I really want to make something.I'm bored, I have not touched any code for 6 months and as a bonus, it looks good to employers to have side projects (supposedly) The problem is, I can't find and commit to an idea. I want to make something practical. Sure, I could make a clone of something or make yet another boring todo list, but what's the point. Employers aren't going to care that you built a clone of (insert something here) that has 0 active users and just sits in a Github repo. I've also tried the whole "make something you would use" and wind up finding out someone has already done it and better than I could do it.

If people would stop trying because somebody else already did it better, then the PC market would have never existed and we'd be working from the Workbench on an Amiga computer.
I'm still missing a decent crossplatform SQL editor that supports all the DataProviders from .NET. So, if you're bored..

Of course the people who advanced the PC market had the connections, money, marketing to do so.

Ehr.. that is not exactly what happened. The OS became the standard thanks to software-piracy.

There is a book by Livingston about the early PC industry. I lived through it all CP/M, DOS, Windows.
None of those guys had anything but brains and the gall to think they had something great. So they found contacts.
You'll find Marketing is ever elusive to us Dev types. We just don't understand it.
Money you can always use as an excuse.
Get on one of the freelance programming sites. Since you don't care about monetary concerns do those tasks.
If you want exposure, join an open source project that tickles your fancy. There are over a million of them out there and they need the help.
As far as "its been done before". The cell market was already done when Steve Jobs flipped it on its head. Also he flipped the music industry on its head with the dollar a song model. They all made massive money from this new scheme.
Good Luck.

Have you tried DataGrip from JetBrains?
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

Care to explain why? I'm generally very happy with JetBrains products. I use ReSharper on a daily basis for 8 years now, and I also often use IntelliJ, Data Grip, PHP Storm and PyCharm. In a previous company, we used YouTrack.
And with the exception of YouTrack (it still needs to mature a bit), everything else is awesome.
I'm very curious to know with which of their product were you so disappointed that you avoid them just by hearing the company name.

I... really liked the Amiga.
I would be strangely fine with this.

No MMU. That's the only thing I didn't like about developing on mine. Every wild pointer meant you had to reboot. Kinda lengthened the edit-compile-test cycle
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Absolutely. And utterly hilarious when one day the local cable company was broadcasting a GURU meditation number for a few hours Made me wonder what the non-initiates thought was going on.
