Welcome to being a programmer on HN / in general - where it seams every day a company gets bought / funded / 100k's of customers.
In reality, it's not like that. Ideas don't grow on trees and many, many people fail multiple times before they succeed. There's no book on how to do it; there's no 1 way and what works for abc company didn't work for def company.
Find a day job; make some money.
Find an idea that your passionate about; code it - submit it somewhere (here is a good start) - show people / get them using it / get feedback. If your not passionate about it; no one else will be either.
Stick with it long enough / until you can determine if it's going somewhere or not.
Rinse / repeat until you find the success you want.
