1. Find older Intel Core Based Windows Laptops (at least 6GB of RAM) 2. Put ChromeOS Flex on them 3. Students will be sad it is still ChromeOS, but they will be happy it is like 3x faster.
I had an old Windows laptop laying around and I did this for my 80 yr old parents and they were super happy.

https://tinygrad.org/ is the only viable alternative to CUDA that I have seen popup in the past few years.
There are enough people out of work right now (with bills to pay like mortgages, childcare, tuition, etc) that most potential candidates will be more than happy to work in the office for a paycheck.
Dude - who is this person so the world can avoid working with him.
Economics is supply/demand.
I would focus on investing, particularly defensive investing.

If you want the easiest allocation possible put some portion of your paycheck in an S&P500 fund and in 40 years you should have enough for retirement.
Good luck!
Whatsapp had 1B users with far fewer eng, why is Twitter so big?
Here is my back of the envelope math of how big I think the company should be for their main offering. Over the past years Twitter has acquired a ton of companies, but I'm going to leave them out of this equation.
Eng (250)
===========
Backend/Storage: 100 eng
Subscriptions: 50
Front-End: 50 eng
iOS App: 20 eng
Android App: 20 eng
UX: 10
Abuse/Moderation (200) ========================= Abuse: 100 Moderation: 100
Marketing/Sales (210)
=======================
PR/Marketing: 30
Ad Sales: 180
Mgmt/overhead (40)
=====================
Legal/GDPR/compliance: 20
HR/Recruiting : 10
CEO/CFO/etc.: 10
What do you think? How far off am I? If more people turn to subscriptions perhaps the abuse/moderation team will shrink in the future.
Product Requirements Documents and Design Documents are a good start. At least then you have a 'human readable' understanding of what they were trying to accomplish. Note that diagrams are often part of a design document.
