What led me to self-employment was that the 1.2x developer who works reasonable hours is often perceived as less productive as the 0.7x developer who is ass in chair more often. Maybe things have gotten better since covid but I doubt it.

Important line from the article: "...but it is not yet clear how much can be exploited commercially". This likely doesn't mean a straightforward +15M tons to the world's supply.

Pretty interesting that this is where Valve choose to flex their legal muscles. Here's some stats [0] from a UK Gambling Commission study from 6 years ago and I can't imagine they've gotten substantially better since then: -
