BTC would crash but so would encryption, and planes and the world.
Sad to see Bitcoin advocates use this dismissive argument.
Centralized systems will update their software as the threat increases. Meanwhile, there are no serious proposals for a quantum-resistance Bitcoin. Some are estimating the update will require a hard fork and take 1 year to update.
That's the difference between two individuals, not necessarily the difference between having ADHD and not having ADHD.
Being tired after drinking caffeine is common.
Tired of password manager apps, I started to keep my passwords in a locked note in the Notes app
With a simple cipher it's near impossible for anyone to use but you
Is it safe to assume they transitioned to become an anonymous crypto trader around this time?
C'mon, no.
In Canada it's openly discussed that recent immigration policy could be excessive. It's not a fringe anti-immigrant viewpoint, it's discussed in the media and at the dinner table.
Canada is a very pro-immigrant country, but there is nuance in the discussion

The elephant in the room is that the depreciation curve on EVs is still not comparable to gas vehicles
And it's all because of the consumable nature of batteries. Consumers don't buy used phones for the same reason
The ship of theseus doesn't really work for EVs (yet)
I figure that's the idea
Thanks, you guys just fixed my iPhone 12. Which previously required me to awkwardly move the cable to get it to charge
With a plastic toothpick I scraped the inside corners. At first nothing came out, but after a few scrapes multiple dust balls emerged. Honestly a surprising amount
I plugged it in, "that snap feeling again..." charging sound
It's normal to leverage your connections to find a job. Arguably it's the preferred way for both employees and employers.
"It's not what you know, it's who you know"
You too can acquire this "privilege" by building relationships with people.
Thanks, any other architecture books you would recommend?
I noticed nobody had mentioned any Youtubers. Surprisingly there are a few Youtubers who bring a ton of industry experience to their videos.
I found these channels to be helpful:
- Rahul Pandey (e.g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADWkkJtZna4)
- A life engineered (e.g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i5iFlP01mQ)
Reminder that this situation is made up based on videos you saw on TikTok
It's fair to point out that Youtube and Twitter have spam problems and apparently can't solve it either. I don't think it's trivial.
Further, Bitcoin fees are often below 50 cents. For a transaction of any size.
Sounds like one of your accounts has compromised. Perhaps your email address?
Finding myself liking Slack these days.
I was really big into Deep Work's hyperactive hivemind and saw Slack as a negative until I took a full remote job and found it to be a critical tool for async communication.
The solution ended up being really simple: cmd + q when I want to focus.
Seriously. A great post about bad UX uses bad UX during the climax
That's fair.
I guess I'm just frustrated at these "tech writers" for re-posting unverified information from Blind and then needing to walk it back later. It's unprofessional and risky.
This petition was created by one person (may or may not be a current employee) and posted to Blind. There were zero replies before they deleted it.
The creator of this petition then sent it to @Carnage4Life/@GergelyOrosz[1] on Twitter who perpetuated the idea that this had actually been signed by employees and was causing a rucks at Coinbase.
To me this is borderline misinformation because it is not representative of any reality.

And "over half" of their employees apparently took on the debt.

This post comes off as dated. What you're describing is how the market was in summer 2021. Not spring 2022.
The paradigm shift occurred in March and the sentiment continues to chill each week. Any signs of a "golden age" are the remnants of decision making that occurred sometime in 2021.
Overall, I'd say relax a bit. You're still in a good situation. Recessions are hard for many, but software engineers were among the best off during the last one and I expect will be this time also.
The demand for software engineers was driven partly by zombie app and saas companies all competing for "top talent", dependent entirely on free cash but without sustainable business models.
On top of that, the "demand" narrative led to an influx of new software engineers that will mature over the next 1-3 years.
These two factors I believe put our industry at risk if there's a recession.
There are also recently IPO'd companies that are dependent on share dilution. This was in the Wallstreet Journal today.
The truth is somewhere in the middle. High comps have existed forever, but they have also been handed out like candy the last few years.
If you're in the bay it might be hard to see, but high comps spread rapidly across the country, to Canada and to some parts of Europe. It became more commonplace hence why everyone and their dog has been trying to get into the industry.
When Robinhood's stock tanked, employees were given a bump in equity. I suspect Coinbase will do the same if they haven't already.
salaries for people in smaller cities will increase
I currently have enough money saved to travel the world for 5 years. That's a long time. Imagine how much more fulfilling that journey would be than putting this money towards a lowend 1-bedroom condo in Vancouver and then working 20 years at a high-end career to pay it off. Insane proposition. VHCOL cities are not appealing anymore. I want out.
To be clear, no they didn't.
The federal government announced they "intend to propose" a bill on the issue. They haven't proposed anything yet and there's currently no date to do so.
Hmm sure, if this is the intent one could disable or not read the comments. Blocking people seems like an emotional response.
This is very apt coming from Mike Solana.
I quite like him but he blocked me for some reason. I'm a literal nobody with 5 followers.
I never flame and I discuss in good faith. My guess is he's too trigger happy with blocking. I'm sure it works well for him, but blocking people strongly enforces your own echo chamber.
This makes you weaker to critiques, which is an incredibly valuable form of feedback.
