I think it would be uncanny if a partner didn't grow, age, and evolve with you and the world around you. Nothing seems to stay the same. While one dimension may fade away, others emerge. If you are lucky, you get to grow old. Daydreaming about starting over, trying something new, and feeling young again is natural. At least with current technology, it is mostly just daydreams.

It is usually my first choice card for things. I think they have the best customer relations, web site, and terms of the major card companies. I really hope Capital One fails to acquire them.
You can already return complex data structures using jsonagg and recursive queries. I can see wanting to make that easier and more intuitive to do. Current sql does not restrict you to just 2D table data structures though.
The next one since they completely ignored the last one - and got away with it.
I would add information security, which requires a lot of theory, but not always a lot of coding.
Also help desk / IT work, which is hands on with technology, but not theory intensive (usually).
Devops usually requires a lot of coding these days, but there was a time, and such roles may still exist, where the system administration tasks of capacity planning, backups, disaster recovery, purchasing, rack & stack, and access controls would keep you quite busy without much coding.
Most people I know who own guns do so because they are afraid of black people. Not because they are itching to join a rebellion.
Often the VC's, if they have control of the company, will bring in "gray hair" managers to try to turn things around. The kids formerly running the show may or may not stick around. The first thing the gray hairs do is cut back to a skeleton staff, cut the snacks, and even coffee. They'll try to sublet the surplus office space. One startup I worked at had a fire sale on desks and laptops and such. I got some good deals. Infosec goes out the window, as do most new features. You trim back to the barest minimum infrastructure and staff. If your books seem reasonable, then they try to sell what is left. It can be very strange being one of 5 or so essential staff left after 50 or 100 of your coworkers are gone.
If you go linux, I do not recommend System 76. I've had two of them and both of them were junk. My company issues linux laptops to developers. 9 out of 10 System 76 laptops failed within a year. I'm not a big fan of Dell. If you have the time and money check out Starlabs. Framework has a lot of promise as well.
If you just need a beater running Windows for browsing and writing, surprisingly, I've found HP makes very affordable, reasonably solid machines.
If you want really portable for basic web stuff. I'd suggest an iPad. Lots of VCs and CEO types I know just use iPad.
For CAD you probably want a desktop with a high end mouse and an array of large monitors at an ergonomic desk setup. You'll probably spend more on the chair and desk and workspace than on the computer.
When I lived in Idaho clothing stores were not allowed to put women's underwear on display. Women literally had to leave the state to buy underwear. (This was before Internet commerce became mainstream - back in the 90's).
Some people are above the law.
White males from privileged backgrounds for "the win". Too bad for Florida because it's been proven over and over that a diverse organization has a strong competitive and productivity edge. At least the white boys will have somewhere to strut.
