I think working in “tech” could mean many things as the future evolves. I would say don’t bother learning to code, but then again, I think the AI fear is overblown. It’s probably the best tool you have for developing your new idea and finding your niche.
I’d just say; blessings and good fortune to you. For those of us that want it badly enough, something is always out there for us.
Cheers man, and my view is very similar - although I'm not in tech, I don't see it as coding and late nights. I feel I can bring something to the right project/team that can help move things forward but from a totally different view point.
Your last point is spot on. Onwards 🫡
My opinion; we need more non-techies consulting and interfacing with the software and hardware builders. I think there is a whole new tech wave coming as far as the designs and use-cases go.
We have folding phones coming out, but the day I can have a Moleskine-like notebook in my pocket that does everything my iPhone can and more, will be the day tech comes back around, for me.
Home appliances that mine bitcoin are also needed in the construction world.
Innovate, innovate, innovate.
I also hope to have more influence in that field in the future.
Personal computers should come LOADED with a node to start running upon plugin, the way social media apps come on phones.
Class idea
This thought space is definitely stirring up some good ideas that need to get fleshed out.
Yeah man, I hate ideas people, where the ideas stay as ideas. (I do feel a bit fraudulent though as I can't really change much right now).
Hahah boy I feel hit right now! I'm great at thinking through things quickly and coming up with ideas. I just need a couple hundred thousand dollars to employ some technically literate folks to do the dirty work and get shit done.
Yea, I agree, and feel stuck on the treadmill of finances myself, but this year is about changing that, and lots of work has led me here.
We need that bedrock of financial comfort to really let the ideas and the productivity flow, but I’ve had to completely refocus my lens on this idea that being broke is somehow more noble than truly than prospering.
Let’s get rich baby.
Honestly, this is so similar to my story (maybe I'm 6-12 mths behind you).
I think the ones that are listening and working at it are syncing up with the same signal that’s going around. There are probably many timelines, and many different experiences of it, but I feel a big wave of positive movement towards a future worth living. One that’s FUN and FREE. 🙌🏼
Again, I feel, you're absolutely bang on, it's happening all over the place, at different rates and with different qualities and it will come together as a wave, filtered over time to produce an ever improving outcome. FUN and FREE is the pinnacle (but also should be the absolute goal).
It's coming, and at an ever increasing speed, I feel lucky to be witnessing it 🙏
Absolute same here man, I totally get ya and not a jibe at anyone. Its more the "we could do this" brigade who havnt delivered anything in thier life.
Money is a twat of a barrier, which I can't get over too.
And WiFi routers. And phones should come loaded with lightning stuff and pruned nodes, which lightning doesn't work with but should
This is exactly where I feel focus needs to go. Devs will develop (I've been amazed at the speed and quality of nostr devs especially), but if it stays a secret, and everyone pats each other on the back* then it's worth nothing.
Nostr has a long way to go to appeal to the likes of my dad, but if it was plug 'n' play like most apps, it's an absolute winner. The non-techies are the missing link here, and although I have no skin in the game, I'd love to help where I can (I'm a proper pleb).
Imagine mates just zapping each other in the pub, not that its all about zaps, but it proves a level of adoption.
Innovate innovate innovate indeed.
* I'm not suggesting all do, but I've seen it in other industries.
