I taught myself to code because it was 'fun'. Who are you to tell people how to devote their time?
It would be better for all concerned if you would take a break from posting these kinds of directives and get back to developing actual solutions to actual problems.

A person who has had to spend an inordinate amount of time getting involved in these things throughout my Life because better coders/developers are too busy navel gazing and just having 'fun.' Honestly, I acknowledge I'm not really good at this, I'm way better at many other things: but I've been able to do a lot with what little I do know. Specifically to put and lead the right teams to accomplish certain goals and go into things solo where I have to.
And it's taken a toll.

I've tried, in fact it's why I went to IBM before trying to sound the alarm as they had so many multi-nationals as clients that expressed interest in wanting to spend money on R/D but none of the gatekeeprs cared about broken supply chains and Amazon's consolidation and eventual domination of the SC and shipping Industry (they likely had investments in Amazon) as a result until things broke down during COVID. While funding was around, VC and smaller funds alike have all poured their money into the Stonks frenzy and NFT BS during COVID so there was little to nothing left with to make a PoC let alone pilot-test anything of value that couldn't match the ROI of those hot markets, even to automate warehouse inventory systems in real-time with just NFC to help with forecasting.
(Now things are worse and capital is fearful after large losses in December and the war in Ukraine has made everyone afraid of what will happen for the next 6-18 months.)
This alone would help immensely with the shortages to prioritize allocation and address shortages, I wrote about wanting to create a prototype for the CO2 shortages in the UK [0] that was going o impact everything from medical supplies,food, to beverages and the only viable answer I got was that the need was obvious but every project manager wants to see AI or ML being used to even take any interest. There was a hackathon sponsored by Google at my school but honestly, I had too much to focus on with what I knew was the impending invasion of Ukraine--I was in Ukraine during the proxy war between Belarus and Poland assessing the situation and stress-testing the payment rails with Bitcoin which as you may have realized played a huge part in supplying the Ukrainian military and helping with supply runs and humanitarian aid during Capital controls as we've already done this in 2013-14.
