I agree. I have a work that pays me well now (it was hard to do the transition between what paid me well and what I liked but didn't pay because I didn't know about... I'm now at some point in-between). I'm not starving, but I have to work

I don't agree. Imagine two paths for a developer: - learn a lot of languages, like everyone else does... a lot of this learning will be useless with time - learn, for example, a lot about computer vision... the road for this is not "pretty
