I had that experience when I was a kid(of making things that mattered). I became a cracker when I was a kid and we published how to replicate our results on the early Internet. We were the first generation that could play with computers because they were ours. We were much better than 40 years old people(those that protected against the cracks) because they were trained in their youth with machines that were so expensive they basically could not touch. They programmed on paper. We started our own web company early on. We were much better than the competence and it was an easy life and sold the thing at great profit. Today in this field people have 100x more skills and is rewarded way worse and it is an oligopoly of big companies. Then I traveled the world and worked abroad. I worked in China, Japan, Korea, the US. Great opportunities that today are closed. I used digital cameras before everybody did. Nobody uses them and suddenly, boom, everybody uses them. My family though I was crazy for not doing what everybody else does, but turns out everybody started doing what we did first with 10 years of delay. The last thing is working remotely. We have been doing that for a long time. It was just common sense. If you spend 2 hours commuting and are tired before working the company is wasting resources that could be channeled to create real value. We could get people in our company so easy because they loved working on their terms and very few companies could compete with that. Those companies were like KODAK trying to do things the way they always were and it was great for us. Now suddenly Covid happens and so many people are realizing they could work on their terms too. The mass of the people is processing and adapting to what early adopters have discovered way earlier.
