It probably won't scale well due to the number of ddp connections required, but I'm using Meteor and React for a side project. It's very pleasant to work with.
I don't want to give money to anyone unless I think it can really help to solve a root cause of their poverty. I prefer redistribution of wealth to individual contributions.
To each his own. I plan to retire at 40, 42 at the latest if everything goes according to plan. I won't be a couch retiree though, I plan to spend perhaps 20 hours a week coding on various things. Or even bootstrap a company, and if it fails I can just go back to being retired.
I'm much less stressed about this after I realized it doesn't take more than 10-15 years of saving to become financially independent. It's seriously stressful to know you have to find a career that can sustain you until 65. Many people seem to have problems fairly early in their tech careers, with rampant ageism etc. So I plan on being FI by 45, preferably 40. So liberating to know my current job could be my last.
