As someone who grew up there it depends on season. Winter tourism has very little impact on anything. The plant life on Svalbard takes 10000 years to recover from damage, but snowmobiles in windows don't cause any damage to it.

Summer tourism is a different story and should be limited to the "towns" and existing roads and by water and beach camping.

The limiting factor was the unreliability of growing such large perfect sapphires.

They still use them for camera lenses and I believe the watches.

Winter time while it's still snow but the sun is back at least for a few hours of daytime. You get the views, the light, the blue light, the snow, and trips on snowmobiles to see the glaciers and the nearest old Russian town and polar bears.

Uh... Java was as far from mainstream outside of enterprise applets as you could get in 2013. C# was a well established language, maybe not a common game language but Java certainly was not since it has so many issues with games.

And a dropout.

This works only for s pong as real universities and colleges and bootcamps don't churn put enough coders. The current demand and not enough supply of low level coders is the only reason this works for now.
