How can you earn 500k/year and not be able to retire and live off of your index fund investment after a few years... Where did all that money go?

That's because Rotterdam is Europe's largest sea port. About half of our exports are actually re-exports that don't have their origin in the Netherlands.

Maybe we're spoiled, but when I tell my daughter she's not allowed the screen now, she complains but eventually she'll start doing something else.

Yeah sometimes this turns into an emotional outburst. So what? She's a toddler sometimes the emotional outburst just happens because the sofa looked at her wrong.

It seems to make the special cases where she is allowed the screen for longer (long car/van rides for example) work better.

Those cars are also just very practical for a lot of people. It's not a family car, but not everyone needs a family car. Afaik they are so popular because they can be leased relatively cheaply.

This was true when adding features cost a lot of time and mental effort.

Nowadays, it's just a prompt away. LLM's can still run around in circles when the code quality is bad enough, but LLM's are also getting exceedingly better at catching that and writing code that's good.

We're all in a different phase of the collective grieving process, some are still in denial, I would put you in the bargaining phase judging from the comment.
