Whatever Pays The Bills

The eternal programming language war rages on while the Java dev quietly pays his mortgage. While Rust fanatics and Python zealots are throwing chairs at each other in Reddit threads, the 45-year-old Java developer is collecting his six-figure salary for maintaining legacy enterprise code that nobody wants to touch. Sure, it's not sexy, but neither is living in your parents' basement at 30 because you spent your career chasing the hottest new framework instead of job security. The real 10x developer is the one who can afford ten times the square footage.
