Software engineer as a career is coming to a close. It may be 5 years or it may be 10 but we can all feel it, the end is beginning. May we go out in glory, and joy, and celebration for the end of a wonderful industry. We’ll have a lot of fun in these last few years

I recently learned that there are people who drive by cows and do not point out that there are cows. I don’t have time for that negativity in my life.

Bitcoiners wondering why everybody is taking so long to wake up from their fiat slavery. Everybody...
The crowd cheering like someone just discovered the cure for cancer, but it’s just Anne Hathaway teaching Kelly Clarkson how she eats a cupcake 😂

I like Bitcoin (hard money) I’m rapidly losing respect for Bitcoiners Many of you sound like southern baptists waiting for the rapture

I stand with @dhh. I’ve never used rails, only used ruby in bits and pieces but the language still holds a special place in my heart. I side with creators over critics. Fuck them and the vortex of negativity they create.

Coding was never really about writing code. 
It was about breaking a problem into steps, imagining the edge cases, and knowing where trade-offs live. AI just took away the boring part. 
What’s left is the real work: thinking clearly.

Bitcoin will rotate ownership over time because time is more scarce than Bitcoin.

Testosterone, masculinity and heterosexuality up at least 20% since I started DCAing bitcoin. Why is nobody talking about this?

Imagine the world only produced 6.25 teeth every 10 minutes and there was no way of making any more teeth no matter how much people wanted teeth.
And besides, ~42 teeth are minted every time a baby is born. Not exactly what I’d call scarce.

Gold is trading like the Nasdaq. The Nasdaq is trading like Bitcoin. Bitcoin is doing something different.

Never go full retard.
So, here's a bit of what I have garnered from this experience. God or Operators outside the sim are constantly editing. We work on these timelines without even knowing it. Bad outcomes are noted and modified. The product of this work is a better life for our children. Some events or occurrences are so important that no alteration to the path prior will alter their presentation. Unless you find one of these permanent outcomes, any attempt to predict the future will be foiled by the sim, which does not want you to see or notice it at all. It is important that people go through life without realizing the boundaries of the simulation. Mandell Effects are evidence of memories which got stuck. They are not easy to fix so they persist but are minimized. At some point, these changes may present themselves and will be enacted for the improvement of mankind. Many changes have been enacted and will never be detectable. One can, through logic and reason, see evidence of simulation improvement. For instance, consider Bitcoin. The product we know today does not exactly match the whitepaper, which indicates some modification. The original product was coded in C, with some portions being ported from Unix Shell Scripts in the early 90s. On or about 2008, the code came back to life, being wholly rewritten in C++. SHA 256 was added at this time. If you think about it, it seems rather unlikely that the first chain, written by one coder would have all the characteristics to make it all the way to today. One can imagine all those times when Bitcoin was declared dead, someone came along and fixed it and left it in just the right location so that the splice of the chain goes unnoticeable. To some, Bitcoin looks like a bit of Mozart, perfect from the first stroke of his pin. I think we are contributing to the resemblance of perfection by touching up parts as we go along. Some thing to try, given what I have seen: 1. The Atomic bomb -- there is NO timeline post Atom Bomb which long survives. Maybe 100 years after the first test. But we all die in one Thermonuclear blast or another. We must stop the tests: The first atomic bomb test, known as "Trinity," took place on July 16, 1945, at the Alamogordo Bombing Range in New Mexico, USA. Conducted by the United States under the Manhattan Project, it marked the first detonation of a nuclear weapon in history. The bomb was a plutonium implosion device, nicknamed "Gadget," and its explosion yielded an estimated 21 kilotons of TNT equivalent. BOTH DETONATIONS SHOULD FAIL and the scientific team should be delivered detailed plans and specifcations from the future realting to now-nascent fusion technology . The world's biggest experimental nuclear fusion reactor in operation was inaugurated in Japan in 2021. Without the forced foray into fission, the scientists should be shown footage of reel-to-reel movies of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This will encourage them to direct their brilliance to the effort to disable all future fission development. I assure you this is the only way. Every timeline ever developed leads to nuclear annihilation of the planet eventually. No weapon has ever been formed which can cause such mass destruction and no human born which won't eventually use it. The only hope for mankind is to erase these weapons from history forever and remove all memory of same from the mind of every human being. 2. Bitcoin will never become peer-to-peer cash. It's inevitable utility, as yet undiscovered, is greater than any developer ever intended. A happy accident. It can be safely stored in time locks, which essentially communicates with our descendants at a time when its value is enormously higher. The genesis block of Bitcoin will appear earlier in time, thus allowing the benefits of its introduction to aid and assist a longer arc of time. This has the effect of a large, unexpected jump in what appears to be the "spot" value of Bitcoin today, owing the log-log growth occurring from an earlier date. 3. The peer-to-peer cash function will be performed by Terra - Luna, which will avoid the death spiral in previous simulations. Do Kwon comes to realize the risk of attack earlier, approximately one year prior to his final interview with @laurashin. This extra time allows him sufficient opportunity to complete the Bitcoin backing of our product. Once adequately collateralized by Bitcoin, it becomes failsafe and overtakes all other so-called stable coins. The governance / ownership token called Luna will be owned by a broad swath of market participants. Thus, the money is now safely backed by Bitcoin and owned by all the people who invested in Luna (currently known as Luna Classic). Money of the people, by the people, and for the people. 4. Meme coins thrive in the fourth turning, most notably "Bonk". Geeks just wanna have fun. 5. Giovanni of Power Law Fame turns out to be a fraud, having stolen the construct of Power Law from someone else. 350 84,111

This is the greatest pivot in crypto history.
I get the rationale for a Bitcoin reserve. I don't agree with it, but I get it. We have a gold reserve. Bitcoin is digital gold, which is better than analog gold. So let's create a Bitcoin reserve too. But what's the rationale for an XRP reserve? Why the hell would we need that?

As far as the greatest rock song ever made goes, there Is Smells Like Teen Spirit, fresh air, and then everything else.
