How on earth were those people able to create such amazing things? Will I ever be able to create something that brilliant someday? What should I even make? I have so many more tools than they did, even LLMs. Where can I learn the ideas and skills they had?

The smart path: Find good mentors (and return the favor); use LLMs not to do the work but to help you learn and exercise your brain: make them test you, using something aking to teacher/Socratic method, make mistakes and get the mentor/LLM to review in a way you figure out the answer.

Find an itch, then scratch it. If many people have the same itch and can use your solution, you win.

Simple as that.

Find a problem and work on a solution for 20+ years.

Start fixing the unfixable and doing the undoable things ;)
