Hi Alex, I've personally never found much value in the "You tell me what you think I should work on" approach. I've always had an overabundance of ideas to work on, and never enough time for them.
My recommendation would be to plunk around with making something that motivates you, even if it's small and seemingly insignificant. And with Erlang, *most* of the library-type stuff you might want from the other language ecosystem's just isn't there, so there's lots of opportunity for creating something small and useful. Maybe this comment isn't helpful at all, but I recommend doing a bit of introspection on what actually motivates you. Maybe there's some hobby that you like that you feel has crappy technical solutions out there, and you start to work on something to make that, which reveals that Erlang and ChicagoBoss lack some certain component which would make your life much easier, so you begin to work on that to solve your problem, and so on. Eventually, you'll come to a problem that could be packaged up as an open source utility and distributed on its own. Anyway, good luck with you project, and of course feel free to post with any questions, -Jesse On Thu, Jul 24, 2014 at 6:35 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > I am currently finishing my computer science studies and am looking for > ideas for a semester or bachelor project. > > I must first confess that I do not have any Erlang or Elixir experience.
