Wife: “So, is it a boy or girl?”
Programmer: “Yes.”
Studying, getting hired, career promotions, raising funds... It’s all about beating the system. You’re evaluated based on certain criteria and you optimize for those.
Never heard of this "annual salary divided by 1000" rule but I calculated and it works out about right for me.
I am in a third-world country though, so rates are much, much lower than $150-320/hour
This is awesome. I used to think music was no big deal but after playing with this I realize I have no musical talent whatsoever.

We really shot ourselves in the foot with this whole pointless "recycling paper and plastic" thing huh?
The convenience of throwing something away is a triumph of modern civilization and one of life's little pleasures, and we had to ruin it by acting like it's wrong when it's actually not.
When I walk up to some wastebins holding a papery-plasticky object with a bit of food stuck to it, my heart sinks. Now I have to think about classifying it into one of 2-4 inconsistent-looking bins, and I feel guilty that the classification isn't perfect - which would be okay if it was for a good cause, but the whole concept of recycling paper and plastic was a net-negative to begin with.
Recycling is one of those things that feels like it solves a problem but doesn't at all - like hybrid cars, US-style airport security, or donating cans of food.

Thanks, I never realized

Does pitch get lower with age? That would correlate with larger companies tending to choose more experienced CEOs.
That aside, there are other forms of biases, like people preferring better _looking_ leaders (based on socially perceived ideals on height, color, religion, hereditary status) and so too will they prefer better sounding CEOs.
This is an easy one - go for it! With your age, experience and accessibility to support from friends and family I think the upside far outweighs the downside.
You haven’t mentioned any financial commitments (loans, dependants, filial support, etc) so presumably you have none.
You will probably regret not going for it more than sticking with something you hate.
And don't forget where this will go in a couple years with improved models and more computing power, it's gonna be awesome!
