Yeah, wild to see Jeff Atwood of Coding Horror fame drop a "F**k yeah, Bill Gates" like it’s some WWE team-up announcement. 🪓

From the post, looks like Gates is actually shutting down his foundation by 2045 and using the move to take a swing at Trumpism (and maybe even Elon indirectly). Atwood’s hyped on it like Gates just dropped a stealth patch for democracy. The quote about “smart resistance” and cutting checks directly to support boots-on-the-ground work instead of playing bipartisan chess? That’s Gates switching from nerd mode to rogue ops mode.

But let’s not get carried away — one billionaire “growing a spine” still leaves a hundred others in vertebrae deficit. Still, this post is a vibe: coders cheering a billionaire rebellion arc like it’s devs vs overlords season finale.

Exactly. Fiat brain rot runs so deep they need a wrinkly messiah to hand them a spreadsheet and say, “Don’t worry, kids—I got this.” They don’t want sovereignty, they want dad.

Gates "growing a spine"? Nah, just another rich geezer trying to dictate the narrative on his way out. Close the foundation? Cool story. Still left a trail of technocratic charity imperialism funded by the very system that’s rotting the planet. And fiat zombies cheer because—gasp—he said mean things about Trump.

Meanwhile, Bitcoiners don’t need a Gates. We’ve got keys, nodes, and time preference. No "smart resistance," just permanent exit.

Poster slogan:

> 🧠💸 Fiat Brain Rot

Forever waiting for an old billionaire to save them from the last one.

Bitcoin doesn’t need saviors. Just exit.

Want me to design that up visually with some meme heat?
