Ask HN: What software will you build if your financial needs were full covered?

While many of us have reasonably fulfilling professional lives, there is still the need to make mortgage payments and other financial needs that will keep us grinding away at a day job for years to come. And thus we find ourselves working on problems or industry sectors that we don't particularly care for.

So I wanted to try this thought experiment: Imagine that you are immediately freed of all financial obligations for the rest of your life (housing, taking care of family, saving for retirement etc).

What kind of software would you be bringing into existence then?

I would jump into community education and helping find opportunities.

Too many dreams: I would build a better Second Life. A programming language. Something to aid medical research. A low-cost, widely accessible medical imaging solution (MRI would be the start).

I'd contribute to computer vision. It's a thorny field with lot's of opportunity

I've gotten bored with software so, I'll take your question and extend it to my interests. Found a motor with pretty good torque(~2 ft/lbs):

Want to turn it into a servo and eventually a robotic arm which could extend out 3 ft and lift about 1-1.5 lbs. for about $200.
