> maybe you need to work on better problems

I have enough real problems in life. I don't need to invent new ones just because a new technology is available.

Many of my problems in life are fully solved far past my satiation point by a 3b model that costs me nothing to run.

Many others are not.

But in either case, when I am acting and living wisely, almost all of my problems exist prior to the existence of technological solutions to those problems.

This is also true for the customers and employers that I care to work with. This has changed in me over time, but I now try my best to avoid inventing new problems. The world has enough big, important problems already.

This is cool but also a good example. I don't need a personalized microkernel just because it's possible to have one.

Maybe I need one and I don't know it, but the problem statement definitely isn't "I have inherent desire for a personalized microkernel".
