Nothing. I haven’t built anything with a significant impact. I’ve made things that made a significant impact on businesses, but in the scheme of things, nothing exciting.
The thing I made which generated the most revenue was easily the most harmful, and likely the most impactful. Unfortunately. It was an ad exchange that did extremely well. The owners went from random guys with a gross idea to multimillionaires in a couple years. They both spend their days buying up startups.
I should have done better by now. I feel like I need to make up for building that exchange. I was young and had no idea what I was getting into until it was too late.
Yeah, just a few weeks ago I saw an ad for an institutional real-estate investing platform that buys single-family homes. Not every software should be built.
I dunno, I haven’t build anything impactful either, and I got in relatively early (early enough to build Facebook/Google). I imagine that’s true for lots of people.
I have a humongous list of failed stuff though, so much that when I look back I wonder why I couldn’t just stick with any given thing.
You’re not alone. I’ve been doing better in the last few years but when I was just starting out as a web developer set on building a successful SAAS, a lot of them were marketing/advertising related. One of them is a pop-up builder… Sorry!
It still brings in some revenue but I have been intentionally neglecting it for years now, as I personally hate those things with a vengeance. But still, I don’t pull the plug on it.
