I’m betting on an AI brain/assistant for individuals. My info is all over the place - blogs, newsletters, articles, emails, slack, tasks. I think the amount of information will surely grow, along with the overwhelm

That’s why I’m putting my bet on building a product that helps manage it all better called Saner.AI

Improving myself, and stay relevant while AI keeping improving its automating capabilities.

Once upon a time Assembly developers thought optimizing compilers would never be good enough.

Solar market will further expand. Prices likely to go down as well.

Agree, the prices have already gone down dramatically in recent years

From here to the next 10 years or so, the bet is on Medical-Help. Almost every country in the world is struggling with constant under-staffing, populations are growing older, while pay for Nurses is going down. Now with AI technologies becoming more and more reliable, the biggest pain point to solve is Healthcare.

Product / Tech: - Retro game engines - Doom engine - Wolfenstein engine - Raycasting - Console/PC emulators getting more popular - New search engines doing okay (Kagi etc) - Linux distros - Programming - Anything low-level - C , C#, Rust - Anything without the term "AI" in it - Retro phones

interesting why so?

shameless plug: if you like retro-games I'm working on https://pixelbrawlgames.com

Interesting take, can you share you reasons for all things retro computing gaining popularity?

typical software engineers are getting sick of AI, the large majority of software engineers are working in webdev

I think they will start migrating to lower level programming (to escape AI to an extent), and the most enjoyable lower level programming projects are:

- Writing your own language

- Retro game emulators

- Operating Systems

- Graphics programming

I said in the other comment, but I think AI/LLM's will drive many devs away from commercial development (web development/frontend) towards backend and lower level languages

Also I think IDEs for retro consoles will become more prevalent, and there is the added benefit of of multiplayer for free with many emulators offering rollback netcode.
