I actually have the opposite opinion - I'm more worried by the current situation. I think the reason the current web startup scene goes after such small problems is that folks are coming right out of undergrad (or earlier) and haven't had PhD-type training to learn what hard problems are really out there. It's routing potentially great engineers away from training that would have let them make a serious impact.
- fredsters_s 15y agoInteresting, but I'm not sure I agree. In my experience education - especially post-grad - tends to push people further and further down the funnel of specificity. By that logic, you're much more likely to have a macro startup idea - like Gumroad for instance - without any grad-level education.
