The gamble is that you either succeed or fail. If you try nothing you'll work until you die regardless.
Current system: Work until you die.
New system collapses: Work until you die.
New system lucks out: Probably get returns (pension).
I doubt that a FAANG programmer from hacker news has to work till they die. You are doing something wrong.
Current system isnt great but works. Just fear uncertainity doubt here.
Not everybody on HN is in a comfy FAANG role
Id go so far as to say that the majority are not.
