I remember reading someone's observation about web dev/tech but using human flight as an example. In the 70's, people thought because they went from the Wright brothers to the moon within 66 years, by the year 2000 we'd have Mach 5 passenger planes and trips to other planets. But, what do we have nowadays? Passenger jumbo jet speeds have remained steady since.. the 70's/80's?

What he's trying to say is that the growth will usually reach a plateau, but people think it'll be exponential. IMO, Mr. Millionaire upthread is living the Bubble 2.0 demand for tech workers, and thinks the bubble will go on and he's going to the stratosphere...

And when it pops I will only have the million dollars I've earned before 30. Woe is me.

Life is there for the taking. Stop making up excuses why being poor in a box is good for you.
