Unless you're being sarcastic, we must work in very different places. I can't tell you how many times I've had discussions with colleagues at different roles about our Nootropics stack.
I guess the world is a big place.
TBH I wasn't interested in them for my development skills. I was more interested in general effects of NAD+ precursor supplementation. I sometimes hang out with the longevity crowd and try out methods that do not sound too dangerous (intermittent fasting etc.)
Not really drugs. Supplements that the nootropics community are pushing. They might work and they might not - there's not a lot of double-blind studies on these things yet. The ones that have been done show mixed results.
The software engineering jobs you get in your 40s and 50s pay more than most NBA of NFL players will every make.
How so?
By "most players" you mean excluding the very top, right?
And the bottom too.
Not everywhere.
Median salary of nfl player is about 850k. Minimum salary of a rookie is 435k. NBA median is 3.8 million. Minimum is 925k
Please tell me where I can make this type of money as a software engineer.

I'm guessing they meant lifetime earnings. There's a limited number of years you can play competitively in the NFL/NBA, and not all of them successfully transition to the sports desk or small business owner.
