I don't see that much of consumerism advocacy here. Quite the contrary - being frugal to extend runway, achieving ramen profitability etc.
Also with rampant ageism in tech you do need to retire before 40 /s

A good example of what I'm talking about can be found in the thread here about Citibikes in NYC: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15338098
A lot of people seem to have an incredible resistance to the idea of riding a bike in NYC based on pure nonsense. Biking is safe, fast, and cheap. We don't need self-driving cars, we need investment in walking, biking, and public transit infrastructure.
