A Musing Bean

Success = Talent + Technology


Question: How many piano prodigies were there in the past 10 years?
Answer: Just as many as any 10 year period.

But few people know or care who they are.

Why? Because every new piano prodigy must compete with every prodigy who has ever existed.

If you leverage a new technology, then you are only competing with the other people doing so right now.

Van Gogh became famous because he leveraged modern pigmented paints, yellow in particular, which were introduced just when he was active (his brother was an art dealer who set his up).

Bill Gates famously was one of the first teenagers to get access to a computer in his (private) high school.

There is a cadre of AI / ML prodigies being minted right now.

Success is when talent meets new technology. What emerging technologies will you leverage?
