You are one generous person! I'd rather do the work. I intend to code in my free time, so can level up regardless. Thanks a ton for the offer, anyway!

If there wasn't a bottleneck, then senior devs wouldn't get paid as much. The bottleneck is similar to an economic moat[0]. Economic moats and durability are attractive. [0] http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/new

Thanks for the input. I was looking at jobs for Flask/Django devs yesterday. The compensation is quite impressive. Assuming the job market is similar in a couple of years, I should be fine. And even if it doesn't, I'm interes

Yes. In 5000 or 50000 years there may be a problem with overpopulation—or not. When someone expresses concern for overpopulation due to life extension, what time span are they referring to? 50000 years? Probably not. Looking at population g
