I built something that used surveillance cams in warehouses in 2018 and almost got 25m for a subset of what our company did. I took those same ideas to some long-term connects and we turned it into something worth much more that to us.
Be glad about where you are knowing that you won't have to do as much as others to pay down your sins in this industry.

If i retired in my mid twenties I think I would still hate myself. Knowledge of algorithms doesn't feel like labor to me it still feels like a curse. I'm pretty braindead and hardly self-sufficient now but I'm glad I never took any of the big payouts I had presented to me in my youth. I still don't know what I would do with myself if I had any significant amount of money that wasn't earned off labor but instead me selling my stake in companies / projects / what-have-you.
