I have been fumbling on what to tell high school and college students about the future of computer science and software engineering. What to focus on? It’s obvious now. I can be so dense.

All I know is everything I needed to know to do everything I’ve ever done. I never once in my life thought about what I wanted to study. I just tried to make things that I wanted to make and learned what I had to learn. Just do that. And those ideas can be 100x bigger than mine were, that’s fine, that’s great.
