Not stupid at all. Your response clarifies things though. You want to help people. Part of that is making a good product. For this, do you have people who will give you *honest* feedback? What do you beta testers say?

Mike describes this often via his idea of having a Life Theme that grounds all of your work. In the workshops I lead, we have folks work through their core values and then attempt to align their activities with at lease one of those values. The more alignment the better. Hope this helps.

To learn? To advance professionally? To solve a need? To make money? To get famous? If you can clarify that, it will probably help with the feeling of meaninglessness. The work you're doing isn't meaningless or else you wouldn't be doing it. That said, the meaning it's providing might be misplaced.

Hey Davuth... sorry for the delay. It's been a busy start to the semester. I'll think about a specific book recommendation (nothing is popping out); however, I think setting aside some time to focus on your "Why" would be really helpful. Why are you creating the things you're creating?

I’ve been working through Robot Theology by Joshua K. Smith in my Advanced Technical Topics class the last few sessions. The discussions have been excellent. It’s really encouraging the students to think critically about #AI and #robots. Especially as seniors at the end of the semester.

Missed the devotion and the first highlight keynote this morning, but had many outstanding conversations in the lobby this morning. That’s why coming to physical meetups is so valuable!
