Ask HN: One month of salary to build whatever you want

1•999900000999•4mo ago
If someone gifted you a month salary to build whatever you wanted, what would you build ?

A cat exercise tracking app ?

A board game?

A deck for your patio ?

The goal isn't profit, although that would be nice. God knows making a profitable software is nearly impossible.

Expand my aquaponic system and expand the monitoring and automation for it.

I have a lots of the parts I need, especially for the monitoring, but this iteration of the greenhouse required removing a lot of it, and it hasn’t been set back up.

Is your setup more for fish, or for growing plants ?

As a thought experiment I often wonder if it's practical for a person to grow enough food to sustain themselves assuming you had enough fertilizer or other needed inputs.

Certainly both is the goal of the aquaponic setup. There are about 50 tilapia in it now, and a grow bed with lettuce and bok choi and similar greens. The plan is to add more plant space to accommodate the growth rate of the fish. When they’re small they eat less and support fewer plants, but as they grow I’ll need more plants to clean the water.

The greenhouse supports many other things, growing 100% of our food isn’t a goal, but supporting our food and having seasonal abundance to sell or give to neighbors is. We start more than we can use, and surplus in seasons is the goal.
