Depends on your level of paranoia. I use an encrypted file on disk to store a client and keys. I back this up offsite incase I get ransomwared. That's good enough for me.

The super paranoid roll dice to generate the private key, use a totally offline computer to convert those dice rolls into an address.

I think if done in Haskell how good or bad it is depends on the chosen abstraction for effects not Haskell itself.

Haskell is a good basis but the developers need to make the API fool proof. E.g. expose limited effects rather than a big fat "IO" type.

This might be appealing as a JV between a small number of people who are already experts in cryptocurrencies, probably already millionaires from BTC, putting together a new coin that solves a unsolved problem but all founders on a equal footing.

I guess I'm lucky in that I don't have much of a career mapped out. I enjoy coding and although I'd like to run a business in the future it's going to be a lifestyle one most likely.

Ironically my (our) net wealth has increased fastest while having children simply by buying a suitable house before a boom kicked off in my city. Outstripping my wages and any E(V) from starting a business!

It's one thing taking a day off for mental health, but what if the job itself is contributing to said mental health problem?

For example being bullied or having unreasonable expectations with some kind of negative reinforcement loop.

Certainly doesn't sound like the case at the company in the article. But that CEO sounds exceptional.

We also need to address treating employees as humans not workproduct producing AWS instances.
