To anyone that might listen, I wanna add my own insight on this: it's all about design. Not in any "shapes and colors" way, but in "Notes on the Synthesis of the Artificial", way.
People in tech obsess about, well, tech. While what sells and builds businesses is great design, achieving the right balance of user and developer experience and delivering some abstract shape that fits extraordinarily well with some high-dimensional definition of a problem space.
It's never been about the code, the tools, the tech. It's all about how things fit together. Think about "quality of life" mods in popular games. The more complicated abstract systems our minds engage with, the more opportunities to design something are created. The human cognitive space has a lot, and I mean A LOT of problems waiting to be solved that only need someone to realize how to build some abstract shape that fits better that what is currently available.
