Truth

I don't think you examined the code in full. main spawns 10 go routines that are constantly sending player scores to the game. That means 10 different players are sending their scores concurrently until someone reaches score of 100.

Pretty much this. Get hold of your ego and be humble enough to take lessons from experienced people who have track record of delivering successful projects. It is imperative to get the basics right before being able to take on more responsibility later.

    "We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training."
Make sure you get as much training as possible before raising your expectations. It will be easier for you later when business expects senior output from you but you are under constant pressure on both personal and professional fields.

Can anyone recommend a book that you would use as the guide for building a new software project from scratch? Like something that would provide good overall structural approach and best practices. The goal would be to end with as least amount of tech debt and codebase flexible enough to stand the test of time?

An interesting read but this kind of predictions don't work "in advance". Usually it's needed for some market player that is still unknown to show up first. That player will then serve as an example and solidify the argument. To know/feel what SaaS 2.0 is, in advance, would mean that you are the one driving it. SaaS 2.0 is not here yet.

I hate gambling but observing some recent changes in my behaviour this sentence strike a chord:

The high is in expecting an outcome, desiring it, imagining it, not in its fulfillment.

I am staring at unfinished side projects of mine and they are staring back at me.

What resources on security would you recommend for developers that are not specializing in security?

There are a lot of land mines of misinformation on the Internet today.

Topic is Desktop computers. Not Development computers. Users of Desktop computers have specific requirements not necessary related to the development. Ignoring their requirements would definitely not allow you to take over the desktop.

this place should not be named "hacker News"

Well couldn't you be a "hacker" in terms of UX, product design and other things as well?

It's not just developers. My friend works in the sales department and he hates it. Every functional request that he make has to go through the usual "agile" process and it's just blocked by the weeks of sprints that are trying to keep up with the increasing backlog.

Some of those requests are very important and will benefit with actual real monetary results, but he has to personally escalate it through hierarchy and force dev team to break their sprint rules and force them to work on it.

In other words he has to make them be agile by force.

As soon as the author started explaining problems about browsers I started thinking about solutions. And I realised that "we" already tried to solve this problem with plugins. Flash, Java applets, Silverlight, etc. were all envisioned as solutions to these problems. And it doesn't take too much brain to realise they all failed (at least in the popularity contest).

Restful nature of the Web is giving good structure on which to build and time shows that evolution, instead of forcing one good solution, is much better way for technology adoption when it comes to the masses.

But in that case config values are to be treated as constants (read only). You don't have concurrency issues for code that doesn't change.

In short: what you do is part of a larger context, you need to align your priorities with that.

Let me just point out that this is the hardest part of being the professional. Reasons for this are many. One example is that larger context can be obscure to you due to bad company organization/management.

Even Elon Musk as hard working as he is cannot achieve his level of income off of his own productivity alone.

Elon has specific role in "production". If his work/energy/decisions are going to spawn new factory, new technology or new product that is going to improve productivity of millions then by all means his income is justified by his productivity.

Printing money causes inflation under all cases unless money is literally destroyed at the same rate it is printed.

This is not true. Emphasis on "all cases". If you create money at exactly the same rate as the economy's produce grows than money has it's background in actual "things" that have value.

As for other arguments I think author was trying to convey very complex subject in 30 minutes of video. Of course there will be certain generalizations so he can better convey the message.
