@mattly @janl 100% this. I feel like the tech industry is *desperate* to recreate the massive growth opportunities networking, and then mobile computing created, but are completely clueless to the facts that:
a) most of this shit they’re betting on has little to no real world utility (see crypto/blockchain, and now “AI”)
b) networking and mobile computing were both (largely) hardware driven innovations at their core - the software “painted by numbers” the fundamental opportunities the hardware created
c) it’s quite possible there will never be another computer-tech-related innovation of the scale or real-world value of those two, and that’s ok
