Thanks for the alternative perspective.

I think I am in the middle. I can afford $200/m but it'd be a brainer. And I don't pay that as I barely use home AI enough to warrant it.

I am also amazed at the richer end of HN but now I realize I am priviledged. Earned it? Like fuck I did. Lucky to be born a geek in late 20c. I'd be useless as a middle ages guy.

If I found myself in the middle ages I’d just become a blacksmith or a miller.

Do you have the genetics for that? It takes a lot of raw strength, and not that much intelligence.
