I'm resigning soon, any suggestions what to build on my own?
flooha: I know exactly how you feel. I was recently laid off for 5 weeks and worked full-time on my startup. Working from home was so awesome... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=641400With that said, here are my thoughts.First of all, you're lucky if you enjoy your job and work with friends.  I would strongly suggest that you see if you can work part-time while you "do your own thing", with a possibility of coming back full-time, should you ever "come to your senses".With no plan, no idea, no help and no anything, I don't see how you can support yourself past "several months at least".  One remedy is to find a fledgling startup to join.  It's risky without knowing the other founders well, but it could be good experience.My #1 recommendation for you is to read the following links:http://www.slideshare.net/venturehacks/customer-development-...http://steveblank.com/2009/08/27/the-leading-cause-of-startu...http://steveblank.com/2009/08/31/the-customer-development-ma...Basically, the idea is to verify that your idea can actually make money before you write one line of code.  Since you're probably heavy on tech and light on customer development, use this time to learn and experiment.  I'm not telling you this as a know-it-all, I'm telling you this as someone who wishes they would have done it years ago.Good luck with whatever you choose to do.EDIT: spelling
