I just had dinner with 2 friends: one that works at openAI and one at magicEden.

I could visibly see the markets on their faces. 

Remember: markets have cycles, and a lot of the feelings are fictional. Focus on building, learning and first principles.

Choosing a bad market or a nonexistent one still has impact. You may not be able to survive long enough to discover a market or wait for resuscitation. Also pure learning and discovery without an eye towards market is just playing with legos (which I love to do btw).
