> maybe $250/month (...) which you can then use to go and earn 100x that.

25k/month? Most people will never come close to earn that much. Most developers in the third world don't make that in a full year, but are affected by raises in PC parts' prices.

I agree with the general principle of having savings for emergencies. For a Software Engineer, that should probably include buying a good enough computer for them, in case they need a new one. But the figures themselves seem skewed towards the reality of very well-paid SV engineers.

The soon to be unemployed SV engineers when LLM's mean anyone can design an app and backend with no coding knowledge.

		and you can code from an rpi / cellphone and use a cloud computer to run it so you actually don't really need an expensive PC at all
