> The low-hanging fruit of the mobile/web era has largely been picked, making truly innovative opportunities harder to find.
I sort of disagree with this. While clearly the lowest hanging fruit have already been picked, I still see a ton of good ideas! This might come off as rude, but if you’re the type of person who follows the standard track of graduate with a cs degree then work at big tech for 5 years with your main hobby being socializing or working out, then yeah good ideas will hard to come up with. For those of us interested in tech but with highly non-linear career paths, startup ideas basically fall out of the sky.
