Ask HN: Where to find learning projects
Hey there,<p>some background information: I have a business information degree in Germany, working as a software developer for two years now.<p>99% of the time I only have to write simple scripts. I read every book about development, techniques, languages, you name it. I know I have a lot of knowledge, but there is nothing I can work on.<p>People always say &quot;well, just commit to open source projects&quot; which is easier said than done. And while this would be awesome, I want some kind of big picture to work on.<p>Question is: If you have no needs yourself and you are not so smart when it comes to &quot;super cool ideas&quot;, how can I get some bigger projects to work on?<p>Edit: And yes, I am currently looking for another, more challenging job.
