The macro environment is the biggest driver of entrepreneurship

Many times we think entrepreneurship comes from dreams, but reality is often that people want to make money or are pushed by other reasons. When the economy was bad before, technical people in traditional big companies had pitifully low salaries, sometimes even lower than today’s junior developers. That huge gap instead became a forcing mechanism. Today’s AI industry has something similar. On the surface, big-company salaries are high, but if you feel the ceiling is within reach in your current role, or you find that your original tech stack is being rapidly replaced by intelligent tools, that sense of crisis is essentially the same force that low salaries once created.

If you are still wondering whether to move, you might as well look at the current macro environment. When the whole market is paying aggressively for a technology, both capital enthusiasm and talent flow are telling you this is a relatively safe zone. If you go build around NFTs now, you may be jumping into a fire pit. But if you build extensions around AI, even if you are not at the very top, you can still ride this rising airflow for a while. Do not always try to prove something by going against the trend. In an era full of bubbles and opportunities, going with the trend often helps you live longer.
