Sure. But you seem to be approaching interviews as a one way street like, "I hold this thing here which I will give it to you if I deem you worthy". That is not how things work these days in tech, especially in hot markets. If you are not willing to carve out time there are plenty others who will. Sorry dude, just the reality of the rare market situation where the power is balanced between companies and talent.
FUD? You want the general population to gamble away their life savings in what effectively are some shiny slides? Completely unregulated? Would you like to invest in this bridge I have here for you? Hey, you want to get in now before everyone wants in and the prices go 10x.
The biggest advantage for a hobbist developer like me is that web development makes a single code base possible.

Why so? What if I have an okay solution to a okay problem but see an opportunity to monetize the market gap and band together some folks to create a business around it? Does it have be "inspiring"?
Then the higher skilled members should devote a significant amount of time getting others to level up. It is a team. Management should have structure in place to incentivice it.

I get the point of the article but "facebook" could be replaced by "computing" and we could ask, "Are computers a structural threat to free society?". Ultimately we could conclude, "Humans are the biggest threat to Society/Humanity".
We directly and consciously altered our environment, energy consumption, knowledge consumption, mobility, appearance, anatomy, life expectancy etc. etc. But genetics is somehow not cool to touch?
The last 4 companies I joined (all fortune) allowed this. In fact they were pressing for me to start. As OP said, all you need is the application receipt.
