I think continuous integration is pretty terrible compared to what it could be. The problems I see, at least with GutHub Actions and Azure DevOps:

* Generally rebuilds everything from scratch, which get slow on large projects. Reducing overbuilding requires lots of manual work. * Hard to test, often you have to push a commit. * No flakey test detection and management.

There are some companies working on productionizing Bazel-based CI systems, like BuildBuddy, but there might be other ways of approaching this problem.

Then you're not looking deep enough at problems that people have or you haven't been in the field long enough. There are tons of issues out there, and I wish I had a department full of me's who could work on all of the problems I want solutions to.

This.

I wish I were a multi-millionaire so that I could hire programmers to help me build all of the things that I believe should exist in the world!

Look at the products from startups accepted into YC. Few (if any) haven't been done before and the same goes for most open source. Your goal should be to identify something that the others missed.

True true. That makes sense.
