You say "stuck at (1)" as if most people actually desire this kind of wealth and are trying to become entrepreneurs. The simple truth is that many people don't want to step into that kind of intensity and uncertainty, or lack

> Using this stuff well is a deep topic. Just like the stuff LLMs are being used for today. Why wouldn't "using LLMs well" be not just one of the many things LLMs will simplify too? Or do you believe your type of knowledge

That's what bottom-tier companies always tell me. Last decade it used to be outsourcing. I was getting low balled left and right with phrases like "I can pay a guy from Asia a lot less for the same work". Now it's LLMs.

You don't have to be a star programmer, fame isn't the only form of leverage. If you're in demand, and you're good at what you do, the road is paved for you. Top companies have already set the bar. Them: we offer 250k-35

If you want equalized poverty, feel free to move to the EU. Say goodbye to owning a nice house, or building any kind of wealth - that's reserved for the old money class. In the US, software is one of the few remaining ways to achieve t

K8s is an orchestration tool. You still need someone managing the physical hardware, and do it realiably at scale. That's what a hyperscaler does.

Privacy rights in the EU are being eroded as we speak. Unless people there get off their high horse, they'll succumb to the same level of authoritarianism and surveillance as in the states. Also, sorry, but the idea that EU countries a

This has been done before, and America comes out consistently on top. Even the median purchasing power parity (PPP) in the US is frequently ranked highest in the world. The majority of American households in the poorest US states are doing
