Comment on Ask HN: How did you choose an idea to work on?

Comments

I have a ton of ideas and no issues executing them

Branch out to ideas that skirt the edges of your knowledge. If you're too comfortable you're not growing stronger.

They're all generally good ideas, and with dedication each one could become something useful

Then they need to battle. Think evolutionary. Find a concrete set of resources for them to fight over (money, time, space, popularity?) and score them. Iterate them. Combine them. Kill them. May the best idea win!

If that doesn't work then find the most profitable and productive idea that can serve the most people. Those tend to be few and far between.
