The only 'ideas' allowed are AI and AI if done from the ground up can only be afforded by billion dollar companies, which is why you see nvidia, microsoft, google owning most of it.

The entrepreneurship of ten years ago of two dudes sitting in a house coding apps is gone.

This is not true. The one benefit of all the AI hype is that there are many small teams of smart people getting funding. Maybe in 2-5 years they'll all get acquired or go under, but right now is some of the most fun I've had in industry in a long time.

And, despite all the hype, there is a lot of unexplored stuff in this space that can be done on hardware that can be run in a home office.

Yes, it's not literally coding apps any more, but I know quite a few people working on small, funded teams having a lot of fun right now.

Not sure. Read the recent PG essay. But I reckon you are going to be writing the procurement app for a midsized building firm, or a ERP for a road haulage firm, or a shift management system for a hospital, rather than some low hanging tech bro idea fruit. What they call “IT”.
