TLDR; Get a job in faang and keep interviewing and you will be financially independent.
I don't like this article at all, since it does not talk about the average software engineer. The author's current salary is 625k USD which would already make one financially independent regardless of any of the other decisions that they took in their life (eg. living with roommates to be frugal like they suggest)
