It isn't worth anything until
after you do it.
"If you build it, they will come" Not "Announce that you can build it, and they will come and wait while you build it, and pay you so they can wait."
Of course you could get a job at an established software development house, and be a wage slave writing code that someone else will make the money off of and get the credit for. But if you want to be the guy who gets the praise, and the jack, you are going to have to write it, and
then sell it. It's called "entrepreneurialism".
