I worry about the cultural shift in Tech to "what have you done for me lately" over patient innovation. Due to no more ZIRP, due to a shift to very top-down management, narcissistic CEO bros, and the new focus to please investors over all else... There's little appetite for actual innovation, which would require IMO a different culture and much more trust between management and employees. So instead, there's top-down AI death marches to "innovate" because that's the current trend. But who is DEFINING the trend? Who is actually trying to stand out and do something different? There's glimmers of hope in tiny bootstrapped startups now. That seems to be the sweet spot of not needing to obsess about investor sentiment, and instead focus on being lean and having a small team with the trust to actually try new things. Though this time with a focus early profitability where they can dictate terms to investors, not the other way around.
