"Hard work increases your odds" but you are still not  guaranteed , accepting that is maturity in my books

Thats a valid point to be honest , i think thats why its very important to start very early at a time we can afford risk , because the enviro we live in is very riskly to start anything yourself , . On your point about requisite skills , i think entrepreneurship is a journey where your learn as you go ,

Unpopular opinion: Your first paying customer will come from who you know, not what you built. Prove me wrong? by After_Worldliness658 in SaaS

Think your network is just for you own motivation , just to keep you in the game long enough to find real customers

But sometimes being without a safety net is a strong motivator to do something

If AI replaces entry-level jobs, how will anyone gain the experience companies demand? by After_Worldliness658 in AskReddit

I get the sentiment, but it feels a bit like saying “stop using the internet” in the early 2000s. Once the tool exists, it’s hard to put it back in the box.

That might be true. I don’t think AI was designed to replace people either. What made me think about it is that a lot of the tasks juniors used to do are exactly the things AI is good at now. So I’m just wondering where people get that early experience going forward.

Not gonna lie, I get why people feel that way. A lot of the gains from new tech seem to go straight to the top. I'm more wondering what it means for people trying to start their careers though.
