There are 3 major footguns with automatic semicolon insertion iirc (one involves having the return statement on its own line. As long as you know them all it's fine I guess, but not my taste.
I agree 'we' is relative, on reflection. I meant in general terms only i.e., the need for more developers will increase as employers start to build more software, which is where I posit things are heading. I could be wrong of course.
I slightly regret adding that to my post now, as my main concern was with the over generalisation of the reasons why older people might switch to coding/development. Ironically, I managed to do that myself by assuming the 'we' was agreed as was the need for more developers!
How do you mean?
l might be wrong,but it almost sounds like you're saying there's no room for middle aged people to switch to coding later in life. There can be many reasons people switch, not necessarily related to a crisis or monetary incentives. We need more coders, so why not let people learn.
tabnine - ai in the same vein as GitHub copilot. Speeds coding up quite a lot

The part which was more problematic for me was the correlation between having a comp-sci degree and working backend, it felt like a subtle form of gate keeping i.e. you could interpret this as: haven't got a degree? you will be working frontend/ui.
Reflections on Using Haskell for My Startup 5 years ago
What if the project became popular, scaled up and the original developer needed help with it? As Haskell is a niche language, wouldn't it be harder to find Haskell developers to come on board?
Are there other sources which can corroborate this story? There is an article in reuters here https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-israel-space-moon/israeli-... which outlines the crash, but no mention of dna/tardigrades.
There is another article here: https://phys.org/news/2018-09-lunar-library-photos-dna.html which mentions synthetic dna but no tardigrades.
Did Wired just reference tardigrades purely to make a clickbait article?
