I would like to hear your thoughts on why you would think they were wasted.

Because I never benefited from them.

And they are too niche (Pascal, LaTeX, XQuery), so I did not learn anything of relevance.

And all that programming has high opportunity costs and physical costs (back pain, worsening eyesight, vitamin D deficit).
