Someone posted something to HN which is exactly what you're asking for in web dev too: https://github.com/kamranahmedse/developer-roadmap

Damnation, I should have known reality in capitalist economy would be bound to be far far removed from the ideal of the laborer. Frictions, information assymetries, bargaining power, the inevitable capture of state society!
Hearing that about web development is really unfortunate. What’s your personal opinion on it, how enjoyable it is, the challenge? It gives a strong impression of being very repetitive and low level. Just that alone would make me likely to burn out from it eventually becoming a hell without escape on sight?
I suppose I could always specialize in something, although there would be a dearth of widely available positions, and the knowledge required tends to be more intensive.
What’s your opinion of specializing in cryptocurrency? Regardless of personal ideology and the culture surrounding it, which I agree can be pretty annoying, the fundamentals seem very strong (could well be wrong) and it’s a high growth rate industry that isn’t going anywhere (as in it won’t collapse). The future regulatory environment is of course a major uncertainty, but there’s always freelance and remote work of things take a turn for the worse. As for Trump’s administrating, I don’t know if there will be support due to some preference for economic freedom or restriction due drugs, the darknet, and security/terrorism concerns.
Seems like a pretty cool and novel field that still has a lot of potential. -

2017-06-09 at 7:22 AM UTCOh shit, bitcoin's back up to $2800. Yes, full appreciation! The amount I left in my coinbase also appreciated, along with when I cashed out.
Diclazepam seems to be recommended as a functional and potent benzo, with little or no recreational value, and it's only $75/g here. Problem is this site doesn't fucking have it in stock along with clonazolam. I haven't seen C-lam in stock in a while, so they may not have it back any time soon. Need to check the darknet markets, possibly pick up some ketamine as well which is particularly helpful/important for suicidal episodes. -

I'm pretty tired of web dev, but I have been doing it professionally for like four years now. There's definitely some interesting stuff there, I had a lot of fun with it in the first couple of years, there are interesting problems with links to fundamental subjects although most people gloss over every hard/interesting problem in favor of fad-tech.
I'm not sure what you mean by "low level". In CS we use "high level" and "low level" to mean highly abstract (with respect to hardware) and close-to-metal respectively, so in that sense webdev is very high level. But if you mean in a general sense the level of intellectual challenge it represents then it depends heavily on where you are and what you're doing. Like I said, there are fundamental interesting issues, but generally these problems are tackled by a small number of people who care and the results of that work trickles down to the rest via currents of hype and corporate politics. Good ideas generally sorta mostly kinda win but it can take a while for good things to be appreciated as such and hyped shit to be discarded. "The elite" who do interesting work is not a particularly closed group, it's just most people would just rather make their startup idea than dig into infrastructural concerns. Finding someone to pay you to do interesting things is a minor hurdle but I'd argue it's a lot better today than it was 5 years ago.
As for burnout, I think most intelligent people will eventually reach the point where there's very little novelty left in the domain. The upside is mobility is high, pivoting to other fields isn't too hard, the downside is peak earnings is exactly when things start getting boring. Although that's a rule of thumb that's true for most fields.What’s your opinion of specializing in cryptocurrency?

I don't have any particularly strong objection to cryptocurrency, the cool factor trumps whatever statist objection I might have to hard-to-regulate technology. As to the actual economic viability, there's money there but (and this is the state for the last few years, I make no claims as to what the future looks like) it goes to spin doctors selling dogshit training and related snakeoil to financial institutions who don't know what the hell is going on but hear things are being traded and think they can gyp more people out of more money (I think it's ironic that the first page of the bitcoin paper reduces nicely to "here's how to put banks out of business", although Nakamoto goes to comic lengths to skirt the word "bank" in a negative context). So if we look at the money landscape it's a structure amenable to technical expertise. The people making money are those acting as commodity traders, who don't care about the underlying value and are gaming volatility and their ability to tolerate risk, and those who are selling the idea of cryptocurrency over any actual tech. Yes there is software involved here but not that much, and people line up to build it for free.

I don't really like it. I had tons of it. Same recreational value as other benzos. It has a couple metabolites, Lorazepam is one of them and for some reason it made me and another person always real angry assholes after some time. The mornings were bad, too.
Do you have the chance to get Meclonazepam? It is a metabolite of Clonazepam and not that strong. Semi-long half-life. ~20h. I prefer it over Diclaz as an every day Benzo. Pyraz is king, though. -
2017-06-09 at 8:17 AM UTCWhy not try your hand at security Mal my old pal. It certainly has a lot of coding and stuff, but in general the field is very, very broad. If you learn web dev you will learn about web app security too which is pretty cool.

2017-06-09 at 1:30 PM UTCProbably just streamed some porn to my neighbors TV by accident.
We share Wifi and looks like all the devices are connected. I accidentally clicked on a little TV icon and it said connecting to Samsung - blablah - etc. I don't have a Samsung TV......

2017-06-09 at 5:44 PM UTCso much fun. I like rotating it in a plan perpendicular to the spin after I get it going, the resistance you feel is cool. There's like some physics shit in there somewhere.

D-lam and C-lam are both readily available on the DN last time I checked. It's a shame you can't find domestic K for a reasonable price because I fucking hate going international for most things anymore, tried to grab a g of racemic (better than S-isomer for antidepressant use) from a well repped guy in the EU for $30 and I had to get refunded because it never showed up. Last time I looked it's like $70+ for domestic, at least on the DNM I visit. -
