It's really not, though. As soon as systems have to scale, regulatory requirements come in, etc. it becomes more complex.

AI has solved simple CRUD, yes, but CRUD, was easy before.

Or maybe, just maybe, becoming a billionaire has way more to do with luck than anything else.

I don't know about any billionaire in the history of billionaires who appears to have gotten there solely based on special abilities. Being born into the right circumstances is all it really takes.

Hard to be optimistic when you have cancer and can't afford treatment.
