The ultimate irony of the FIRE movement is that the personality type required to achieve it makes actually retiring impossible: if you possess what it takes to accumulate enough capital to entirely exit the economy by age forty, you are definitely not the kind of person who can spend the next four decades sitting quietly on a porch doing nothing.
You are simply substituting the corporate hamster wheel with an ascetic religion of extreme frugality, trading the best years of your life for a hypothetical future, while completely ignoring the structural reality that increasing your income is infinitely easier than cutting your baseline expenses to zero.
Money is only useful when spent.

The FIRE (financial independence retire early) movement has done an immense amount of harm to society This is coming from someone who used to be a believer in FIRE, but I have realized just how much of a fallacy it is, as I have grown older Taking a bunch of high potential income earners and convincing them that their life goal should be to pursue a net worth that allows them to check out of society is immensely damaging to the social fabric Many of these people sit on the upper echelon of office jobs, have built great businesses, or are at the top of their field in their career field They should be inspired to continue doing what they are best at, and ultimately, mentor and give back to the next generation who want to pursue those same goals Instead, many of these FIRE folks become wandering retirees with a meaningless life who are trying to grasp on to money as their north star It is a false sense of security and accomplishment. Becoming wealthy should never be a goal in the first place. It should have always been to pursue something that adds meaning to your own life and to society It is a completely fallacy to believe that retiring will be your source of happiness. More often than not, it has the complete opposite effect

Real interview question is how to move away from design A before you run out of integers. Serial4 exhausts at ~2.1B, moving a pk to uuid means regenerating an index and if you don't know how to index stuff correctly you’ll blow the db. Also you cannot backfill with a migration - you’ll blow the db again. Even when you backfill, how do you ensure non-nullish values without running an unique query?
Mid-level eng question imho

A tired population is a compliant population.

The "40-hour work week" wasn't designed to be productive. It was designed to give you just enough time to recover, but not enough time to think, start a business, or realize how much of your life is being stolen. A tired population is a compliant population.
