I’m a professional software engineer, and I work on everything from physical devices to mobile apps. The longer a technology exists, the less “low hanging fruit” problems remain that can be solved with that technology. Identifying a niche problem is generally more viable, but not very easy to do. Identifying a niche problem that you can solve yourself is harder. Identifying a niche problem that you can effectively sell your solution to for a profit is even harder.
Honestly, I think the better approach is to focus on new technologies that not many people understand. The newer a technology is, and the less people that know how to use it, the more “low hanging fruit” problems there are. Look at how many companies have tried to make use of neural networks, blockchains, ChatGPT, etc. If you can understand something new before most people even know it exists, you should be able to identify problems that nobody has yet tried to solve with that new thing.
