A viral tweet argues that the future belongs to people who code atoms, not just bits. Software moves information, atoms build the world. Shifts are happening in materials & manufacturing, robotics, energy systems, biotech, and hardware & infra. Bits scale fast, atoms scale hard, so fewer people go there, but the upside is massive. The next wave isn't another app; it's controlling matter with the same precision we control code.
