suprising observation from an intro anthropology course i took in college: when you add up all the time it takes you to feed yourself now (including time spent working to earn money etc) vs then, most people spent much less time per week back then. granted, this might not be true for the typical software engineer. but maybe if you somehow account for the years that it took to acquire the skills, it might be close...?
