Do not give up. The idea that at 40 or 50 you're past it and have missed out on all the opportunities in life is common, but it's flat out wrong. A wife and kids in your 40s is perfectly feasible, but I wouldn't focus on them

To comment on the statement: "Companies like Microsoft are making close to $100b a year today and they have to put that money to work somewhere" They'll make stock buybacks, and they'll pay out dividends, far less risky

Simply because India has huge amounts of mobile devices, and the Indian ISPs didn't get assigned many IPv4 gold rush days when anyone could get an addresses by asking. Instead they've aggressively rolled out IPv6 and carrier grade

I tried to speak to Redhat about getting support for servers that didn't fit into their annual per-server subscription model. They didn't even reply to multiple emails. Redhat sales are now firmly set in the IBM enterprise model.

Pretty simple really, 10Gbps copper needed new cabling which turned out to be a big hurdle in the real world. 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T do run over existing Cat5e cabling reliably. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.5GBASE
