#2i think going in a field where they'll pay you plenty without noticing you barely spend time working is the play
the brightest don't spend their time & energy making others wealthy
Re: Be in a field where tech is the limit
#3I am interested to learn about fields where software engineers can help to bring about innovation and push those fields forward, providing some of the tech that is missing there. I would like to apply my skills in a transdisciplinary manner and work on projects that are not just B2B SaaS products.
One option is research software engineering, where SWEs team up with researchers to produce better code for models and simulations. Are there any research fields where synthesis of domain knowledge, programming skills, and computational thinking could bring great benefits?

#4The sentiment is only half right.
The important part is “and there is promising tech on the horizon”
I think trying to get a startup based on space travel at relativistic fields would be pretty difficult.
Steve Jobs was a master of this. Seeing promising tech trends that were just about ready, and putting them together at just the right time to make innovations that were world changing.

You could become a scientific programmer.

That also has its disadvantages. Being stuck in an office with little work, but little else in the way of entertainment slowly burns you out. Having next to no work for two months wasn't as pleasant as I thought it would be.
Fields where you don't make other people wealthy aren't so rosy either. They bring their own drama to the table.

#7Why is there no innovation in healthcare?
Because better technology won't get the entrepreneur a satisfying reward.

Lots of innovation but things like clinical trials are very expensive. How could we get safe medical progress with less expenses?

#9Being in a field (or startup) where tech is not the limit is super frustrating.

Is a scientific programmer similar to a research software engineer (RSE)?
