Well, I remember a time when it "felt" like everyone with an ounce of ambition, a computer, and the most rudimentary know-how should feel entitled to spin up something with an impact.
I don't know if that was every really the case. But it's clear that it's certainly not the case now.
Also, the Internet (remember when you used to capitalize it?) is not the end-all of technology. And when it came out, most folks didn't realize how powerful it would be until much after. So what's next? Maybe we just have to try harder to define our own success - find something you care about contributing to. It's not "disruption" in the way it's portrayed in the tech-tabloids, but in the end it's about how you choose to spend your time and energy before you die.
