There are still hard engineering problems to solve, they just aren't related to scaling out services as much (there's still optimizations and improvements to be made in that space, but not nearly as much). You can't seriously think all the hard engineering problems have been solved, right?

Give me some then! I see maybe some cool stuff in the move to ARM processors. I also don't have the resume or fame or background to get offered the chance to solve them if they're out there - in 2015 there were so many and the average level of competence was so low that people gave me a shot anyways.

I've been trying to learn more about the dark corners of the linux kernel and graphics drivers for now. But its not 2015 and I don't have 3 years of experience in embedded/systems/C++ so no ones gonna hire me for that stuff because my resume just says "generic backend dev lol".
