I'm in the center of NYC so I'll answer this question. Currently, it's about $2,800 for a studio and $3,500 for a one bedroom. If you're single I'd say you need around 120k to live somewhat okay. That's 6.6k a month after taxes so minus about 3k it's 3.6k a month for bills, food, and however else you want to budget the rest. Depends on your lifestyle of course.
If you want a three bedroom then you'd want to live outside of NYC and commute about an hour by train. It'll be around 3k-4k then.
Laid of from Meta with 10+ years of experience. Very low and slow response rate from big tech, but fintech and startups are replying pretty frequently. Most startups are willing to discuss higher roles. It's still a pay cut, but it's not too bad.
And as you get truly senior you've picked out the stack you like best out of the ones you've tried, the stack that lets you do anything you want to do with the least friction for your own personal style. And you realize there's little value to always being on the treadmill of replacing skills to swap their various pros and cons while your overall capabilities don't grow.
As I interpret it, it mostly is a graphical representation of what's related to what. I don't see anything wrong with that goal. If you mean the sheer quantity of the possibilities will scare people away, then that may not be a bad thing. Software is growing into a messy conglomerate of technologies where each org selects what to put on their own stack(s). One must be aware of that nature of the biz because it's not growing simpler.
In the old days, the big vendors gave you a tool-set and you mastered whatever that gizmo was. Those days are probably dead. Most modern programmers are multi-sub-gizmo gluers.
As a sales tool for STEM, yes it's bad, but it's good as a reality-check about the industry.
True, but it's helpful for a junior to know the lay of the land even if they don't know how to use every one of these technologies. It does a junior no good to keep their head down and focus entirely on PHP, then when they look for their first job they find all the listings want React (not saying there aren't PHP jobs)

Developers who learn about time/space complexity view code in a different way. They can reason about code in new ways and it also helps discuss code between devs.
When I work with large data sets, It's difficult to explain why something is taking a long time without thinking of it in terms of O complexity.
