Ideas come from doing and being a part of something happening. The ancient statue of the thinker is either a person doing absolutely nothing or a person linking experiences and witnessed discoveries in their head to synthesis what to do next. The difference is the input.

You want ideas? Go on a learning adventure. Keep doing that and inspiration will come. You'll have the input.

Thanks. Yes, I also think it's best to get involved in something. Maybe code challenges or contributing in open source projects will help me out.

Yes. And believe in yourself. The story that big ideas come only from some people with a gift is a lie. The gift is within all of us.
