I don't think it's fair to call him a Non-Coding Architect. Have you seen his other talks, or the articles he's published via his website http://worrydream.com ? Bret clearly codes.

If you set up automatic 401k deposits and direct deposit a percentage of your paycheck to Vanguard, you won't stress out about it at all. You'll just see a different number on your take-home paycheck, get used it it quickly, and go on enjoy

If you save a high enough percentage of your take-home income, the article actually argues that you could be done in 7-10 years starting from scratch, which sounds a lot more doable to me than the 30 years you're expecting.

Clojure's a great lisp. I recommend it highly. I haven't spent much time with Scheme, but I can definitely say that I greatly prefer Clojure to Common Lisp.

Refs and atoms shouldn't have side effects, but agents are great for performing side effects. From page 214 of Clojure Programming: Unlike refs and atoms, it is perfectly safe to use agents to coordinate I/O and perform other blo
