>One of the biggest opportunities in technology right now is to re-run the Next/Apple playbook and create a new hardware/software technology company focused on developers.

Why would that be an opportunity though?

It would be a low margin niche, with a small market segment, of which most would stick with Apple/Lenovo/Dell.

Software developers are a large and massively growing market segment. That's not niche.

There a tiny slither of the global population, which in no ways constitutes "One of the biggest opportunities in technology right now".

And only a tiny fraction of them would care. I’m quite happy with my iPhone and don’t want a random HN freedom phone. I don’t ever even intend to develop something for my phone and if I did, I would want to target android and iOS.
