What now?

So I finished my trading bot, and also released finplot 1.8. Four years ago, before I decided to build a trading bot I tried to make a game engine, silly me. I failed of course, it was too big of an undertaking. Pretty hard to compete with something 22 years in the making with probably already thousands of developers at that time. And what I accomplished is nothing short of shameful. I also developed a game prototyping tool, which was super-efficient and actually really good (despite the awful API and horrid object-oriented internals).

I don't feel well idling, but I will for a few days and perhaps weeks, to build momentum for whatever I should do next. I've been pondering this question before, but this time it's for real. Long-term I would like to delve a little into sustainable energy. But subconsciously I'm hesitant. I think it has three reasons.

1. It's going to be really, really hard, and I'll have to push myself the same way as with the trading bot in order to have a slight chance of succeeding.
2. I'm afraid of the radiation. For instance Andrea Rossi (who's getting closer to launching a product every year) got cancer. Twice. And there's no indication of gamma radiation on the Geiger meter. But we primates sure as shit don't know all physics there is to know, and of course something generates these tracks.
3. I'm more into the abstractions, patterns and problem solving. And don't know anything about material science. After studying theoretical physics for 18 months, I really don't have much interest in the physical. But I probably could retrieve it again, with some hard work. Possibly.

I think these are the reasons, but as they're only partially conscious, I can't be sure. And the once I listed above are good enough for most people not to try it. Which might be why we don't have working LENR heaters in our homes yet. It might also be because it's seriously difficult. I'm pretty certain it's both.

But until I decide to go for it, which I am sure I will do (if no invention is released before I start), I want some other project. I could do some work of my fixer-upper of a house, but frankly I'm not super-keen on that either. For reason three above. Will do some though. But for the rest of my spare time?

I have a knack for building prototyping tool, which Trabant showed. So I was thinking I might build a trading prototyping tool, which I could sell and make some serious money. It would be fun to make, but I don't really need or want the money. And frankly I don't want to help hedge funds and whales that would benefit the most. Hm. Or would it? Perhaps I could build a tool for the little guy. Something that only supports strategies for the small fish. Hm. Now that I think about it, I could probably build a fantastic bot tool for myself. Hm. That's not what I wanted to construct. Hm. Anyway, I need to find something to build to pass time. In a week or two.
