What’s funny, is that it’s not really hurting the VC-funded companies (where the beef is at, at least measuring by Twitter), they have have to throw at advertisers. It’s hurting college kids with fun side projects that creates jobs. They will go work in Goldman Sachs instead.
The press writes about startups as if there were already too many of them. But there's internal evidence showing how far from saturated this domain is: the time between when an idea becomes possible, and when it's realized. This can still sometimes be years.

Could you link a specific, recent article from "the press" that influenced this post? Any suggestions for press to follow that doesnt think there's too many startups?

The “press” has dithered through their own relegation to also ran status.

Another reason for this lag — a lack of innovation from larger corporations. There’s no more Xerox PARC churning out the next GUIs, laser printers, etc. Today, startups bear the responsibility of innovation. For better or worse, we need more founders willing to take the leap.

Counterpoint: @RosmResearch has already several competitors with [[bidirectional links]]: Athens, Obsidian, implementations in emacs org-mode. Not all possible ideas are in the adjacent possible category, not all adjacent possible ideas are known! (Ofc more startups is good.)

Literally, two tweets apart in my Twitter timeline.
@dhh talking about how long it takes to wait for idea to become real.@paulg saying the startup market isn’t saturated because it takes ideas years to become reality. https://mobile.twitter.com/dhh/status/1335585232913920012 …pic.twitter.com/ODodLryava

It’s not that there are too many or too few. The problem is too many startups focus solely on technology and networking/funding and less on PR. There are indie PR consultants who can help startups gain eyeshare necessary to attract $. Plan on 6 month’s worth of at least $12-15k.
