That's not how it works pal. Tesla didn't sit around all day and think how great it would be to invest something.

You have to be great in your field and just do your job. The vision comes to you, wow can't really chase something like that

You're wrong. Sci-fi is a good source of ideas to a software engineer turn into something real.

>>24329238
No, you can't.

Vision (I'm talking about true visions here, which comprise not even of a single discovery or set of discoveries, but of unification and development of a whole set of principles, say, Stallman's free software or Tolkien's creation of a fictional historical linguistics -- definitely not about Jesus' or Buddha's schizophrenic ramblings) takes simply a substrate of individual facts and competencies that are inaccessible to anyone with IQ under, say, 140.

You can team up with someone who has ideas but no technical skills.

innate

just asking this question proves you don't really have something revolutionary as cliche as it may sound.

The visionaries that drove progress of this world were consumed by it from a really young age.

>You have to be great in your field and just do your job.

Do you know how many engineers are great programmers and how many inventors are bad programmers? A lot.

Being very good at something doesn't translate to being a visionary and creating something revolutionary. Or rather, just creating something a lot of people use.

Just think about things you would like to have/see and then probably compromise a bit so plebs can access it too.

I think people in this thread are a bit mean, it's not like big names in the computer and software industry just came up with their visionary idea. It took time, failures and refinement.
