    18? That's ridiculous. I'd understand 14, but at 18 it's not too rare to live alone and have a full time job. And even before, access to maps or Wikipedia is generally quite useful…

    This is already occurred, in some limited from. See quicks mode [1], for instance. Also there is WebAssembly, which should be the replacement for JS. At some point a good-enough UI…

    I'd guess 90% dev jobs don't involve any algo knowledge more complicated than "should I pick a list or hashmap" or "which columns need indices". They involve converting business lo…
