You're more qualified and so am I. The competition right now is crazy compared to what it used to be in fields like pure software.
You're fully capable of starting a bio-computing or quantum computing startup, though.
Something I think about constantly is if it would be better to just go back to university for a field I'm 50-80% certain is going to be huge and combine it with my strengths in software and physical engineering.
The problem is that I didn't make a conscious choice to study software because of where the world was going. I just liked computers as a kid. How do you replicate that?
I don't know enough about quantum to be sure that that's going to be the next field until I've already learned it, and the only proxy I can have that seems to be right about the general direction of any of this is DARPA, but they're usually unhelpful about timing.
The one major problem I don't know how to solve, let alone make money from, is how to square capitalism with cybersecurity. The incentives point in other directions after a sigma or three.
- sjg007 8y agoI mean there is a whole global market for cybersecurity products and services. You would square that by finding some product to sell. Selling traditional AV or network firewalls would probably be very competitive but providing next generation cloud based device security management is less so. And in fact this is where you see the current slew of startups.. each one offering a way to security the edge to the cloud since companies are migrating to the cloud and using less IT/infosec human resources to do so. Same with government departments as well. Govt is probably better especially when you need a security clearance because you can charge more operating in those environments.
