There are actually a lot of new startups coming out with agentic workflows, and they're probably moving fast. But to your point, there's probably still a lot of friction that keeps the average person/dev from launching new companies.

Starting to work on a mobile app that gamifies exposure therapy. Helps you progress every day. No demo yet but hopefully soon :)

I think it's starting to turn around. My sense is there's still a ton of devs on the market but there's a lot of jobs opening recently. Here's the data from the st luis fed: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/IHLIDXUSTPSOFTDEVE

In comp packages you also want to look for the exercise window clause. Some companies say you have to exercise your options within 90 days from leaving but I’ve worked at a startup where it was 5 years which is more employee friendly.
