Sometimes maximizing learning and fun is having enough money to pursue your interests outside of work.

Sure. But a kid that’s building a successful business as a high school sophomore probably has software engineering as a #1 interest with no close #2. I’ve got a healthy list of hobbies and it wasn’t enough for me.

Feeling the time wasted on mundane BS and thumb twiddling while at Google literally gave me nightmares. Granted, I need to and am working on healthy stress management. But that would probably just get me to recognize I need to quit sooner.

Sure but also maybe not? It’s weird to lament someone you don’t even know.
