Very interesting, especially with regards to normalizing the volatility of the industry. Expect to work for 80% of your years is an interesting heuristic.
As a European dev without a six figure salary I'd like to add: It is only a question of time before worker's rights and job safety are undermined here as they are anywhere else in the world.
So fight against that! Unionize! And vote for parties that pledge to not only defend but also further job security.

Infosec ExchangeJess👾 (@JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange)My one big piece of advice to anyone entering tech:
Don't get used to tech company salaries.
Don't get mortgages and car payments that you can only afford with tech company salaries.
Build as much emergency funds as you possibly can with tech company salaries.
Fully expect that you'll get laid off the exact same time the entire rest of the industry stops hiring people, and it may be a couple years before hiring starts back up again.
Sure, you may think those 6 figure salaries means you're living on easy street, but when it comes with only working 8 out of every 10 years, those numbers aren't near as good.
If your salary is relatively high, it's easy to not recognize that you too will be spit out by the system if you don't get help and if the laws are only written in favor of the rich and powerful.
