There are still a lot of hard problems to solve, they're just cross-disciplinary.

Software is the infrastructure of the 21st century and if you step out of the tech bubble to things like material science, biotech, etc. you'll see that their infrastructure is garbage despite there being really big returns available.

Developers who can marry modern software to those domains should remain in high demand for decades.

Do you have any companies or spaces you would recommend where theres hard problems but low signalling/barriers to entry? I'm autistic AF (no joke) and learn new domains in a frenzy of 3 months of joy and digging but its not easy to prove/signal that.

The best one is state or local government. You’ll be able to make a lot of change and get tons of experience with a low barrier to entry.

Anything related to public safety (including transportation) probably needs the most tech talent.

So much this.

Spend a month with a tech stack of any passing complexity, even ones at $FAANGco...

We're nowhere close to solving all the hard problems.
