And who's fault is that?

6 unicorns out of Sweden since 2000 alone. The problem to me seems we don't seem to have the ability to sustain Google/Facebook sized companies.

Or, how about instead of having to exercise like crazy to cope with work, we make work itself more sustainable?

It probably won't scale well due to the number of ddp connections required, but I'm using Meteor and React for a side project. It's very pleasant to work with.

I don't want to give money to anyone unless I think it can really help to solve a root cause of their poverty. I prefer redistribution of wealth to individual contributions.

To each his own. I plan to retire at 40, 42 at the latest if everything goes according to plan. I won't be a couch retiree though, I plan to spend perhaps 20 hours a week coding on various things. Or even bootstrap a company, and if it fails I can just go back to being retired.

I'm much less stressed about this after I realized it doesn't take more than 10-15 years of saving to become financially independent. It's seriously stressful to know you have to find a career that can sustain you until 65. Many people seem to have problems fairly early in their tech careers, with rampant ageism etc. So I plan on being FI by 45, preferably 40. So liberating to know my current job could be my last.
