Note that nowhere is the word "reopen" used in the original source materials.

I would love to work with you. This is exactly the attitude to have. Well said.

Silicon Valley is its own kind of bizarre, soul-killing bubble. Stay in the industry, but move somewhere where humanitarian values are prized. Portland or Seattle sound like much better fits for you.

I'm in the bubble and you are absolutely dead on. My secret to avoiding burnout was to do contracting for four years. After this, and after going back to full-time work, I realized (at more than an intellectual level) for the first time that the more you work the less you make. Completely eye-opening.

Respect the 9-to-5 workday and good things will happen.

I would put lambdas in the "major shifts in the language" category.
