Having certain technical skill sets means you can create something out of thin air. If you get an idea for a mobile app, a web project, an AI model, or anything else, you can just do it.

How cool is that?

(OK, we're not really creating out of "thin air." We're building on a foundation of tons of open source software, cheap cloud infrastructure, SaaS and other [X]aaS tools, and so on. But with all of that at your disposal, the biggest investment – therefore, your greatest risk – is your time.)

So if you have the skills and you have an idea … why not go for it?
