This has happened to me. I was learning Haskell until finally the pressure of "how will this help me pay bills" persuaded me to stop and learn Python instead. Even with Python there's the pressure of "I can't make an online sideproject by it" which has tempted me at times to switch to JS, but I've resisted that so far.

Top tech talent generally have no idea how businesses make money. So of course you’d ignore them.
This.
I studied Electrical Engineering and in my experience, the only thing my classmates cared about was the technical aspects of the field, and often they couldn't see the big picture. Great talents of course, but more like robots, not even capable of understanding the humanitarian aspects of life. Such a waste.
