    Hm, sound like abuse of power to me. I’d wish for the genie to lose the ability to grant wishes. It needs to be cursed though, so I’d have to help with that.

    Since it can still offer wishes, just not grant them… I’d help it learn to code. It could have a bright future as the CTO of a tech startup in the next hype cycle. I would not invest.

    I wonder how many times this has already happened.

      Hmm, this gives me a funny idea about a genie that is freed from his lamp, grants the three wishes, then has to figure out what to do now.

      So he decides to become a programmer at some FinTech company.

      Call it “Cubicle Genie.”

        Programmer? Nah, programmers have to deliver.

        If they have a thousand years of experience promising any wish granted, but no ability to follow through on that promise? They’d be wasted as a programmer. They should be made executive leadership. CTO at least. Maybe CEO.

        Although maybe they’d make more by handling investor relations on contract – e.g. paid a % by seed or Series A investors to handle fundraising in later rounds. Private equity is pretty screwed up these days :(
