I've never been more excited about tech in my lifetime.
Fusion, Quantum Computing, Carbon Capture, AI, Robotics, Space Travel, Bioengineering. So many fields are undergoing massive revolutions. More I'm sure I'm forgetting or don't know about too.
My biggest problem is that I have to pick what to work on. I'm currently going with VR which I've fallen in love with the same way I originally did with computing.
At some point I plan to make some educational experiences that touch some of the other areas I mentioned so I can explore those ideas more too.
- the_only_law 5y agoI mean some of those seem pretty cool, but Quantum computing and Fusion get shit in all the time for being decades old academic endeavors with no fruit to bare.
- playing_colours 5y agoI share your excitement, but there is a problem. How can you get hired and paid in those innovative industries? If you are 20 - you are in a good position to get appropriate degree and start building your career. If you are 35+ with family and wrote backends and microservices - it is not that easy to move. How can you get into robotics, space travel, VR - will anyone hire you based on some pet projects? How many current engineers are able to go back to a school and get an MSc in Robotics and then start again as junior engineers?
