> Nowadays I'm a software dev and tech entrepreneur. At best, technology bores me. At worst, it terrifies me. Today's startups are solving the most boring problems imaginable. Gadgets are a snoozfest. Programming languages and frameworks seem to be running in circles.
You grew up.
The other part is that we are, in my opinion, coming out of a period of hyper growth and technical advancement where we were picking all the "low hanging fruit" of tech, which was exciting to see.
Now that, to one degree we're "done" with that, what's left is either the commoditisation of all of that (making existing more affordable and accessible) which is much less exciting, or companies desperately throwing shit at the wall to try and invent "the next iPhone", which can be quite depressing.
