Not to mention in a post AI world, cost of code generation is cheap, so orgs even need even fewer devs, combine all this with commonly used languages and frameworks and you need not worry about - "too valuable to replace or fire".

Having said that - there may be a (very) small percentage of orgs which care about people, code crafting and quality and may look at Clojure as a good option.

Now read up on all the dozen of annotations. But yeah, we did not want to "re-invent the wheel".

So I built one. Choose ball line, length, pace, shot timing, power, direction and fielder positions. It all matters! Every delivery is a battle between bat and ball, and the result comes from the combination of all these factors - not from random dice rolls.

What's in the game: - Day and Night matches - Knockouts and full tournaments - Historical scenarios - drop yourself into legendary chases and famous collapses - 16 real-world-inspired teams with unique play styles and momentum traits

It runs entirely in the browser. No installs, no signups. Just pure cricket fun.

Would love to hear any feedback.

Proof - https://youtu.be/2x-aQy730Ew?si=y6hKNp9G6TOI_mtT

- An "average" salary of around 65K / year

- This after (an average of) 5-6 rounds of interviews

- 6 months of "probation", with only 2 weeks of notice

- And all after 4-6 years of degree/s and 4-5 years of experience (so around 10 years of investment)

Then after taxation 65K annually means around 3500/month in pocket. Then with the current prices - around 1200 goes in rent alone. Not a lot of room to spend after that. Then, prices keep going up and even a simple (new) car is around 20,000. Not to mention the stress / savings you have to keep since people can be let go anytime. To top it, there is a ceiling in Germany - unless you are extra-ordinary forget making above 100K ever even after 25 years of experience.

IT / software dev is a "barely survivable" kind of job in Germany right (sadly) now. I do not recommend it to kids in school/uni anymore (again unfortunately).

I tried to go for deep cricket-ing gameplay and not graphics. People from the subcontinent should be able to enjoy it.

I would love to start my own SaaS company, even if it generates $1000 a month I will be elated. And I have 20+ years of experience programming and in FinTech, but what do I build? Not to mention, without sales & marketing nothing will really work.
