I'd buy 6000 Avax with anticipation of steady price appreciation and delegate them for about 10% annually. With your software skills you could also without undue effort run a validator instead and gain a trivial amount more but also capture the occasional airdrop.

Why avax over Solana, Dot, Luna or Polygon? Personally, I am bullish on Polygon right now as they are merging with other projects very fast at some very high valuations — I would say analogous to the holding company that is acquiring lots of smaller ecosystem projects to focus and force multiply vs a “whole new paradigm in consensus algorithms”.
On the other hand, avax had a negative balance bug a couple months ago that tanked the price

That's the risk you get when investing large sums into newer cryptos, one significant network problem to break trust and your investment is gone
