Oh really? Try holding your breath for 60 seconds while telling yourself nothing matters…

You’ll get yourself in all sorts of entanglements by subscribing to these sorts of belief systems

In reality, nothing matters existentially yet everything matters in the moment. Your ability to accept both of these realities at the same time is freedom

When are we going to admit that blockchain is just a new type of data store, useful for a limited number of use-cases that require certain sorts of irreversible, immutable guarantees across a worldwide network of computational devices? Crypto is cool, in so far as any other new data storage technology is cool. It is not a new world order

This also makes it unlikely to be widely adopted. In a centralized evolution of the blockchain, rather than run by a widely public, known, and possibly elected entity, these nodes are run by an anonymous collective. That’s a regression in the trust-value chain for most real world applications

Both centralized and decentralized systems can have a central authority. All of the examples above have one or more of such authorities. The fundamental premise of a blockchain is antithetical to this

It’s unlikely that blockchain / NFT’s will become widely adopted. History proves that human’s like a central authority, just not one that actively works against them.

Perfectly put

There’s also a lot of YC companies that failed to gain traction. This is also seldom talked about

How does PHP / Ruby fare?

That’s great! Would love to see ruby supported for my use case

Is this language agnostic?

I understand the sentiment, but it shouldn’t be too difficult to add a little randomized imperfection to the robot’s programming. Or is it that after you know the pizza has been made by a robot, you’re expecting a perfect pie? Ahh, the future will be interesting indeed…

It’s not that growth is inherently bad. It’s that we’ve turned a blind eye to the costs incurred both on an individual level and a planetary level to sustain that growth.

It’s actually small companies that care about user experience that will often make these trade-offs. Less time managing multi-cloud deployments means more time spent building our core product and talking to users.

It might lead to more salary polarization. The average salary for the average developer will likely go down. For companies that only hire the cream of the crop, salaries will likely keep increasing as competition increases (a European company can more easily compete with top US companies and hire top US developers, for example)

Slavery has redefined itself into newer forms. One such manifestation is in the form of worker exploitation.

This is flawed. Early retirement and balance are not mutually exclusive.

Early retirement requires doing things a little differently than the average. Luck is always a factor, but you want to stack the cards in your favor.
