There's such wide variability in software development. You can earn an above average income by being a slacker, you could really grind and hit that 400k salary. As a slacker, it's really the sweet spot, enough money that I never have to think about money, but I'm not grinding.
But jeez, women and money is disheartening. At the volunteer work I do, we do an icebreaker question before we get started. One time it was: what would you pick, love without money, or money without love? Nearly all the women there answered money without love, love without money was more common with men. It's probably a reflection of privilege: if you're a non-fat woman under 30, you're probably inundated with suitors, but most guys will probably find it easier to get money than to get love.
The proverbs gave me an erection. When you lurk in wait to kill someone hell itself wants to swallow you whole. All these dark things steaming at the back of your mind will literally make you feel like you are in hell. Dostoevsky wrote about it in crime and punishment. Good stuff.
Money does buy love. You can visit people who live far. You can accumulate experience and share it with new people who will find you fascinating. It is harder to be absent when you don't need to grind, mentally or physically

Fantastic read. Loved it. And love the Old Testament and Old English thoughts and context at the end.
