I keep reading this but I feel it really ignores gaussian, where are your lines? What is good enough for what where? What is the base level of already know? I'm churning out a web app for fun right now with a couple of second year comp sci students from Sri Lanka + LLMs, they charge me around $1000 a month and my friend who is a SRE at appl looks at the code every week, said it's quality, modern and scalable. I do think they're a bit slow, but I'm not looking for fast.

You're paying $1000 a month to build a web app for fun?

This seems like a crazy solution to a situation.

...wait till you find out how much my one friend spends on golf a year!!!!! Hobbies are expensive. This will take about 3 maybe 4 months, and I think i'll enjoy playing it with and so will all my friends and family, so it's worth it I think.

What type of work does he do that allow him to spend on hobbies? (In other words, "What can I do to be wealthy like your friend?".)

Well… many hobbies are not that expensive. But sure, $1k/month for enjoyment is totally reasonable.
