The scale where throwing more hardware to run your CPU-intensive Python part (and not the part that just wait on a DB, IO or other networked service - that won't change with Golang) starts costing more than paying developers to write i

Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply retiring (in the normal sense of the word) at 30 is normal or expected. However I am close to 30 and I am considering “retiring” from a tech career and moving onto something else. That’s why I put “retired” in
