There's gonna be an interesting cultural moment brewing in 2026-27. Tech builders and entrepreneurs are convinced they're channeling their inner Steve Jobs or Henry Ford—pushing boundaries, disrupting markets, changing the world. Meanwhile, regular people are watching the same folks and seeing something entirely different. The self-perception versus reality gap among tech figures keeps widening. You've got founders genuinely believing they're visionaries steering humanity into the future, while everyday users scroll past their moves thinking "yeah, sure." It's that disconnect between the narrative tech leaders tell themselves and what actually lands with the mainstream crowd. Authenticity gap is real.

Haha, this is the current tech industry. The level of self-indulgence is skyrocketing.
