The smartest? Probably on ways to defend against the eventual and coming AI apocalypse, it's not a matter of how, but when-

I'm betting the climate apocalypse will come before the AI apocalypse, thus the latter isn't worth wasting any energy on.

The smartest developers are probably at the beach surfing, or chilling out.

I don't understand this abhorrence for work. There's more of a dopamine kick from solving a tough bug than surfing.

Not even close, bud. I’ll live my life before solving a problem I don’t benefit much from.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sitting on the terrace of a villa in Sweden overseeing a beautiful lake, having finished all client work for the year two months ago, working as an individual contributor at a faang does not strike me as a very smart thing to do if easy life is the goal.

How expensive is a/your villa in Sweden?

Inexpensive unless you're near a major city/transport hub:
