I just turned 24, I’ve been a software developer since I was 18-19,and it’s so interesting to go back in time and see what was going on in the HN universe on specific days in the past, way before I even got interested in tech (I was in 6th or 7th grade when HN started). I really wish I would’ve discovered my passion for tech earlier.

Do you mean this one from Stanford?

I think the argument was that he did precisely that. Yet history paints him as a great inventor (he was, and filed a lot of patents), and most people likely think of him as a "good/nice guy" which he may or may not have been.

As a relatively "young" person (teen) I feel as if I subconsciously witness or experience this all the time. However I'm not fully aware of what exactly took place that ultimately got us to where we are today e.g., boomers and their effects on modern society, aside from people wanting to have sex/kids after WW2.

I've been getting really into history recently so if anyone has any resources on the socio economic impact of other generations, specifically boomers, please let me know!

I'll add that the differentiating factor between a startup and a small business (or freelancer, contractor, etc.) is the ability to scale and do so quickly without increasing the company overhead, initially at least.
