back to r9k with ye

>dot com boom/bubble (obviously too late)
>app boom (largely too late but still money to be made)
>????
Guess the next one and develop skills to capitalise.
>VR/AR software/apps would be my guess, if we're sticking to the path of programming opportunity

>>1575323
There won't be anything of this magnitude again though, because technology in general is becoming more centralized and the barriers to entry have already become insurmountable to anybody who doesn't have a large amount of money. I don't think there will ever again be a time where somebody could become rich from building something in their garage/bedroom.

>>1575323
Virtual reality is shit and only weeaboo losers are interested in it. It won't bubble

globalism at work

>>1575621
There will always be another bubble, you just have to find it.

There will be other opportunities in life. Have you thought of ways to profit from emerging technologies? Virtual reality? Electric cars? Innovation in decentralized financial payments?

Tfw. You try something and it actually makes money. One of the best feelings.

>>1575621
>the barriers to entry have already become insurmountable
You aren't really this delusional, are you?

>>1576084
Aside from VR (which is really just a passing fad), none of those are industries that you can get it on without massive amount of capital and/or political connections. Those are the kinds of barriers to entry that I'm talking about.

>>1576089
Please give me an example of how, in today's technology landscape, I can create something that could make me rich without spending almost any money and without even leaving my own house. That's something that was entirely possible in the 90s and late 00s, but not anymore today.

>>1576089
You could literally make thousands back then just casually playing poker. Where's my free money now?

>>1574909
sure buddy. look at all the hundreds of thousands of people that were old enough and made it. you know, because it was easy.

truth is, whether you like it or not, if you were born poor, you will die poor.

>>1574909
Keep crying. You will stay poor because you have a poor mentality.

>>1574909
>tfw you were born just in time for the blockchain revolution

BUT YOU'RE TOO STUPID TO SEE IT

WELP. STAY POOR

Man, you sure sound like you want to bait out some good ideas here.

But anyway, just look at the tech business today. Everything started as a side project, e.g. Facebook, Snapchat, etc.

Come up with a good app idea, build a prototype, shill investors for money, get rich. Literally the story of every famous Tech CEO nowadays. And they sure as hell did not have to leave their house to do it.

Just always keep an eye on the Gartner Hype Cycle

Make a 2D indie game with procedurally generated content.
The bar to entry in the video game world has never been lower.

>The bar to entry in the video game world has never been lower.
You're kidding right? In 1980 a game developed by one person in a few months could become the top selling game in the world. Now you need a thousand employees and a budget of $100 million just to compete at that level.

>>1574909
>>1574909
ITT: FUCKING IDIOTS.

VR is a passing fad? Are you really this dumb? They are going to develop the ship out of VR. Put money on that.

>>1574909
Dude take advantage of any other revolutions

>tfw the stable boy doesn't have my horse ready when I want to leave

Hey OP

we're just at the beginning here. You're seeing the Wild West and saying it's all done now.

People want value. Find a way of giving it to them. Innovation is usually just common sense.

Another metaphor. We're just at the start of the Silk Road.

>>1576754
Half of these don't make any sense

>>1574909
You're living in the most prosperous time in human history, with the lowest barriers to accumulating wealth. If you were of age during the dotcom boom or the app revolution, you would've missed it, because you'd be crying about missing the previous boom.

Open your fucking eyes, it's the wild west of postmodern/late capitalism.

>>1576784
In the 1980s, there were incredible hardware limitations. You didn't just need to know how to code, you needed an extensive knowledge of the hardware you were writing for, which depended on the publisher. You also needed a publisher.

>>1578554
>You're living in the most prosperous time in human history, with the lowest barriers to accumulating wealth.
This makes sense if it's written from the point of view of somebody who's already accumulated a lot of wealth or was born into it. Otherwise, no, we're already approaching the end game of capitalism, where a very small number of wealthy and powerful people own everything and it becomes increasingly difficult for anybody else to break in. The technology revolutions were brief periods that allowed others to jump in and profit, but they are over now and there really isn't going to be anything of that magnitude happening again in my lifetime.

You're right op. Keep crying and give up. One less competitor for me

Get in ICN( if you can )
it's gonna do 20-50x , first crypto that's gonna pay dividends.
First to be there.
Don't waste your time looking back at the opportunities you missed, because you're probably missing on new ones right now.

>>1580129
>because you're probably missing on new ones right now
I don't know, he seems pretty confident there aren't any new ones.

It's still a great time. What are you talking about?

>>1576115
How is vr a passing fad? It's expensive now, but in 2 years it will be affordable

>>1574909
The next major breakthrough in the world will be AI. How you use this to make gains is up to you.

>>1574909
>the apps revolution
tons of app money if floating around in africa where people do everything on their phone

>>1581217
wow so I just need a billion dollar data collection company and a few thousand of the smartest programmers in the world and the opportunity is right there

>>1575621
>There won't be anything of this magnitude again though

How WRONG can you be?

>tfw just in time for the data science boom
>tfw living in an era where companies will (almost) literally hire you for having a high iq (HINT: FINANCE)
good thing i'm smart and driven, unlike OP

>too young to get it on the internet revolution and the apps revolution

Triggered, bro?

>tfw you were too young to get it on the internet revolution and the apps revolution

It's a fucking lottery mate. I know lots of old hackers (i.e. programmers) who didn't earn shit despite knowing all about the technologies and being in their prime at the time.

Forget about the internet and the winner takes all bullshit. Start a traditional business instead. It's much more forgiving.

>tfw there will always be people who think everything that can be done has been done
>tfw these people will literally sit back and watch innovation after innovation happen while complaining that they missed their chances

can i get one of you to tell me if this is on purpose or are you guys retarded?

Since OP is a massive faggot, I'm willing to look into different things, doesn't have to be tech related either.

What are big opportunities out there?

>there was only one brief window of opportunity for technological innovation
>it was around 2006-2009

quit your bitching and make some stupid virtual reality games before the bottom falls out on that, you stupid asshole.

>tfw you're considered "old" in your area
>I'm 27

I'm being cucked by Gen Z :(

>>1574909
>Tfw you are just in time to invest in the cryptocoin market

>>1582443
Im 27 too its over.

Lucky I own 21 BTC so I will be a rich as fuck 40yo and I will get a hair transplant and fraud 10 years younger

What comes after generation Z tho?

>>1582507
Gen GT

only takes one good idea.

>>1575621
>I don't think there will ever again be a time where somebody could become rich from building something in their garage/bedroom

People are literally doing this all around the world. If anything it's just going to get easier.

>>1582513
Don't remind us of that awful bullshit

Seriously, just make a game.
Undertale has sold 2 million copies on Steam so far and Toby doesn't even know how to program.

>>1582405
>It's a fucking lottery mate. I know lots of old hackers (i.e. programmers) who didn't earn shit despite knowing all about the technologies and being in their prime at the time.
Yeah, that would be me. Protip: you have to have a family with connections, or everything just gets handed to the guy who has connections, no one gives a shit if your solution is technically better or not, if you're not from a class that's used to criminal or borderline criminal business dealings where everyone gets a cut of some money, no one even wants to look at your shit.

>>1582691
how would he make that game if he doesnt know how to program

>>1583193
He used GameMaker.
GML is a babby-tier langauge.

>>1582691
The only reason that piece of shit """game""" made any money at all is because the entire sjw media circlejerked about it non stop. People only buy things that the media (or multi-million dollar ad campaigns) tell them to buy.

>>1583212
getting rich = going viral

its all that matters

hard work is useless, even talent is useless, just go viral
