The irony should be mentioned. many comments here point to human artists becoming obsolete, but it is a common refrain on this forum that people with art degrees already struggle to make a living. So which is it?

I really wish I knew what DFW had in mind when he said irony wasn't the point.

Whenever these posts come up, there's a certain amount of hubris to be found. For those programmers who didn't jump through the hoops for a good gpa and now refuse to jump through hoops for a job, what exactly are you willing to do?

As others have pointed going carbon neutral is a good step, but should we should keep in mind the CO2 ppm that will be reached at the neutrality point. Is this something that we can live with?
Low confidence and presumably indistinguishable from noise.

Looking at this guy's bio, he would appear to enjoy some of that extrinsic motivation.
Are you aware of any physical process that operates in that way?

Re:Ask HN: When do you give up on Silicon Valley? on Thursday March 31, 2022 @09:57PM (#30874413)
If there is something else you'd rather be doing, at least figure out what steps you need to take to do that thing. I'm not sure random internet people can figure out those steps for you.
