Your complaint about the slow compilation times might be addressed partially by Modules, expected for C++20. VS 2015 Update 1 and Clang already have experimental support.

You might want to check out "The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate" by Peter Wohlleben. It's an enjoyable book that covers similar topics, also available as an audiobook.

This 2.9 number comes from "Millionaire Mind," published in 2000 with the data from 1990s. The same book states that 2% of millionaires were in the top 1% of the college classes and 90% graduated from college. Note the huge amount

Would you be interested instead in a well-defined bonus with a bit lower salary? Let's say after each year of work. I am a believer in incentives but I agree that for employees the options are often not the best way to go.

This is a very interesting discussion for me, as I'm about to incorporate a new AI startup and I'm thinking how to spend my own seed money. The author's argument in the "Incentive alignment" section doesn't see
