I have a similar background, and also miss the 90s where the people playing with tech were not thinking about the money but actually enjoyed the coding.
What I find hopeful about Paul's essay and the current state of the world is that I can start my own company for next to nothing. And I only have to find a couple customers to cover my living expenses. I'm not going to be the CEO of a billion dollar company and that is fine. I don't want to have those responsibilities.

The world is becoming more fragmented and long tails are getting longer. I'm not going to build a competitor to Facebook or AWS, but there are thousands of small untapped market segments.
