Readit NewsAre there any arguments that could seriously motivate me to continue with this career outside of just blind hope that it will be okay? I'm not a total doomer, currently 'hopium' works and I'm making progress, but I wish my hopes could at least be founded.
No, the kid gloves are off because "they are not democratic." It's like being nice to the weird kid in school and the weird kid steals your lunch. No more being nice to the weird kid.

Rust requires you to think differently quite a bit, so of course "experienced" programmers gonna struggle disproportionately. Going from Java to Python is hardly a fair comparison.

Not saying that covid is nothing to worry about, but it's something you might want to consider down the road. I don't know your situation or what health concerns you might have, but being too protective can have it's downsides as well.
Everything is a hyperobject. The sun, the atmosphere of Jupiter, the asteroid belt, the human brain even. We don't just shut up and stop trying, we grasp what we can. And we are pretty good at it. A man references the hyperobject as the reason it's hopeless to try, and then continues to use the interplay between climate, economics, human behavior, the biome, the water cycle, and predicts concrete predictions. He must be one of those big brains that we should just shut up and listen to.
I have an uncle who knows a lot more facts about climate change than I do, and uses them to great effect in arguing that its not real.
My uncle is also an idiot.
