Fantastic. It's never too late to build or start something. I here a lot of this from 30+ year old entrepreneurs ("but he's 23 fresh out of school" or "am I too old?" - NO! Not even close. The 23 year old with the traction and venture money is a) extremely lucky and b) doesn't know half of what you know!)
An inspiring little feel good article here for those 16 hour days when you just hit your head against the wall. Or for when you need a little inspiration.
Author is right - even in 2025 so many products will have been invented today and tomorrow. Does anyone really think Snapchat will be around in 10 years? The Internet is still in its infancy. Sure, we can communicate with multimedia and watch streaming video but think of the myriad of problems and challenges facing modern day society? Endless and endless opportunity. From biotech, hardware and sensors, energy, communication, health care, VR, AI, machine learning, etc. - all very, very early problems to work on. Each of which will create dozens of profitable and dynamic technology companies.
We have to work on the future and use the amazing platforms currently in place to make something that lasts and makes an impact. I remember 5 years ago what a royal pita it was to setup a physical webserver + app server. Nightmare. Now, it happens in a click. The platforms are getting better in better for entrepreneurs to build on top of them.
This is exciting and should be exciting for anyone and everyone who has a passion to build something. And the future is not 20 chat apps, 20 youtube's, or 20 e-commerce sites selling subscription underwear. The future is wild ideas, things that seem strange and things that don't even seem possible today. But seemingly impossible ideas on the surface today are the ideas that leave a mark in the future.
Let's get nuts.
