I wonder if transaction costs get in the way. Someone has to pay the payment provider in both directions.

Just wanted to point out that besides creating Typescript, Anders has been the Lead Architect on C# since 2000.

The seeming "idolization" is probably to make up for what he wrote about Bezos (and Amazon) in his famous "accidentally public" post that preceded it: https://plus.google.com/+RipRowan/posts/eVeouesvaVX

"But of your job is to look at data and make descisions based on that data, you're gonna be the first to go."
"The last people to be replaced are going to be software devs"
If your job is to write code so people can look at data and make decisions based on that data, you're gonna be the second to go.

Lots of commenters seem to think that programmers are safe for a while. As a programmer, I sincerely hope they are right.
But, the majority of developers I know, including myself, are ultimately writing software to be used by humans, typically presenting data that is comprehensible to humans, so that they can make decisions.
If AI advances to the point where similar decisions can be made by machines, looking at the same data, then I fear that entire classes of applications will disappear, and with them, the need for developers who build them.
Obviously, we'll still need developers, though perhaps far fewer than are needed today. Perhaps software development will go through the same revolution that agriculture did, where from we went from > 90% to < 3% of the population being involved.

I'm curious to read parts 1 & 2, wish there were clear links to them in "Part 3".

I got excited about this, as I live in MA and seriously considering a change, until I read the part that it doesn't go into effect until July 2018.
