whatever field you’re in, start moving closer to hardware.
not because software is dying. because software is becoming abundant.
ai can already generate code, interfaces, analysis, content, workflows.
but atoms are still stubborn.
• ai → learn chips, accelerators, edge compute
• software → learn embedded systems, electronics, networking
• biology → learn instrumentation, sensors, lab automation
• physics → learn robotics, semiconductors, energy systems
• design → learn cad, materials, manufacturing
• economics → study factories, energy, logistics, supply chains
the closer you move toward physical reality, the harder the problems become.
heat. power. materials. tolerances. reliability. manufacturing. logistics.
you don’t need to abandon your field.
combine it with hardware.
• software + hardware.
• ai + robotics.
• biology + machines.
• physics + manufacturing.
the next generation of builders won’t just manipulate information.
they’ll use information to manipulate atoms.
there are only a few thousand people left in america that know how to design an injection mold, even fewer for die casting and other molds/dies. a dying art that will cost the economy trillions of dollars over the next generation if we let it slip away.
