> What is the world missing? Use AI as your cofounder as prototype with basic tech - html, css, js, sqlite.

As long as you don’t ask AI. It keeps giving the same bland startup ideas and I imagine the governance / regulatory evidence gathering market is going to be pretty crowded with startups.

Answering what should exist and what the world is missing requires a vision for what you want the world to become. The question where to go should come after answering where we are, before that one should ask where we came from, what were things like before? Then, how did we get where we are from where we came from.

There are no correct answers. It should probably be more of a subjective journey than we like to imagine.

Ultimately you get to decide what you want people to become. Even if you do it in ignorance.

To quote a wise man. If the revolution doesnt have singing and dancing im not comming.

Nonsense. All that's needed is asking around, and listen. You could literally throw the dice, go to random country X, and ask the 1st person you meet what would make their life better.

Maybe the gutter on their roof is leaking, and they need someone to fix it. If so, maybe there's more people with the same problem, and a gutter-fixer would make people happy.

Sure, if you have a 'grand vision' and (again, by asking around) find there's others sharing that vision, by all means go work on that. But to find something useful to work on, any 'vision' is really not required.

I was an engineer that build core tech. Saw the effort expand exponentially as they tried to be trendy with new tech. Went back to basics. Built https://www.dreamlist.com and https://santawho.com - never had so much fun as I do now and I can keep going without asking anyone for permission.

just use rust for everything and then you won't even need to rewrite it when it takes off.
