summary - biased rant - don't bother reading.

if its powered by hype and hyperbole, and not concrete ideas, should work fine... wait, no, a paradigm shift, amazing, revolutionary.

If you are so sure, take the bet! I'll give you 100 - 1 odds.

this is silly, python is used by some of the biggest number crunchers on earth ... as glue code. If you dont like the dual language paradigm and want fast code go learn fortran.

Glue code being the important word in that comment.

i believe it also does not have as many features as btrfs etc

just join kde, its a huge umbrella organisation. kmail and akonadi need some serious code love :)

im not sure the drifter-bro-waster life of idle leisure is that satisfying. Your telling me people at the top of their careers, yan le cun (deep learning etc) are not having constructive, exiting, shared, social fun? you think hans zimmer has an isolated boring life? stress in any case has more to do with context and attitude than it has to do with the profession you practice.

James Joyce considered himself to be "a rather useless man with alcoholic tendencies". Being at the top of one's craft does not equal happiness.

Being at the bottom of one's craft doesn't equal happiness either. Accomplishments in a field are not a replacement for a healthy outlook, but they have their merits.

industry perspective (emphasis mechanical/civil/electrical):

degree < 2 years experience: training/require supervision

degree 2 < 5 years: experienced, capable, get responsibility

degree > 5 years: lead positions/expert (if narrow focus)

so i would say degree + 2 years you can say 'engineer' (without training wheels)
