Or more clearly stated, tax havens and offshoring revenue killed p2p.

Taxes killed p2p...

Seems serious to me. Definitely report to the police and maybe seek help at the federal level of they crossed state lines.

The wisest man I met in my life was a 65 year old cab driver in Washington DC who was about to retire with $3m in the bank. He saved 10% of his income from the day he started working and didn't buy lattes or sports cars.

Yes, you most definitely can get rich by not drinking lattes. This article is a disservice.

Maybe for the author of this article, a $6 latte is "within his means". For most of the world, it's not because they're not saving 10% of every paycheck, so they should minimize discretionary spending until they do.

I miss being able to buy a complete 3rd party component for $400 that came with great docs and tech support.

Yeah, there are some excellent, well documented OSS libraries out there, but they are the minority and there's no one who feels obligated to help you if you need a small improvement or moderate bug, cause no one took money from you.

Imho, the trade-off isn't worth it (free but self serve support) for professional development.
