Except the part where you get a paycheck.

The opportunity cost of quitting your job is thousands of dollars a week. That's a big decision to make.

Software engineers make thousands of dollars per week. Even on the lower end, $120,000/52=$2.3k/w.

And in most places in the world, that is basically unobtainable. A rather serious case of SV-myopia here I suspect.
