The benefits definitely do not accrue to you, though. There is no direct or indirect benefit to you supporting the invasion of another country where you can now bomb locals with impunity.
Ordinary citizens were bombed in Caracas. There are videos of such bombings. Please do consider that the loss of the lives of ordinary people is a risk.
I am obviously speaking from the perspective of a superpower or a nation, not my own perspective. To a superpower, the lives of 40 people is indeed "virtually no cost" for the benefit of $17T worth of oil reserves and a favorable regime change.
It would appear that your comment is about ECC itself.
The way I explain ECC RAM and file systems is "Since data is present in RAM before it is given to a file system driver to store and after data is retrieved by the file system driver, the data is only as good as what the RAM can assure." ZFS handles everything once the data is in its purview. It provides various features to ensure redundancies and recoverability in case the underlying hardware fails for any reason.
Assume that your cash runs out. What will you then do?
Until you rebuild your cash base and have some cash flow, please hit the pause button on seeking your calling. One's calling can change over the years, and multiple times at that. Those who have found their calling are able to continue in it because they also make money to sustain living in a self-supported society (there are no benevolent sponsors like Kings and rich donors anymore who would support artists for the remainder of their lives)
Even with AI coming in, there is a lot of need for those who can make maintainable systems and systems that do not lose data. How good are you with your basics? Solving the SICP can help you pick up new programming languages. Solving the leetcode and clearing system design interviews can help you land a paying job. Being AI-savvy can help you get jobs at places that have budgets for AI tools (and therefore also have budgets for other things like salaries).
Have you given thought to why you prototype with SQLite?
I have switched to using postgres even for prototyping once I prepared some shell scripts for various setup. With hibernate (java) or knex (Javascript/NodeJS) and with unit tests (Test Driven Development approach) for code, I feel I have reduced the friction of using postgres from the beginning.
Because when I get tired of reconstructing the contents of the database between my various dev machines (at home, at work, on a remote server, on my laptop) I can just scp the sqlite db across.
Because it's "low effort" to just fire it into sqlite and if I have to do ridiculous things to the schema as I footer around working out exactly what I want the database to do.
I don't want to use nodejs if I can possibly avoid it and you literally could not pay me to even look at Java, there isn't enough money in the world.
I mentioned Hibernate and knex as examples of DB schema version control tools.
Incidentally, you can rsync postgres dumps as well. That's what I do when testing and when sharing test data with team mates. At times, I decide to pgload the database dump into a different target system.
My reason for sharing: I accepted that I was being lethargic about using postgres, so I just automated certain things as I went along.
