š At $120K Bitcoin, āengineeringā is no longer a metaphor. Itās a survival skill.
For all the agile-certified cultists sipping flat whites and running āsprintsā that go nowhere ā here's the brutal truth:
Bitcoin-grade engineering is eating your legacy alive.
> The real flex? Not āagile leadership.ā
The real flex is writing code that runs 24/7, settles in sats, and doesnāt need a manager to explain it.
While the market is still 90% hype merchants, consultants, and slide deck prophets ā
thereās a massive once-in-a-generation opportunity for:
ā Low-level protocol hackers
ā Real-time systems engineers
ā Self-hosting, hardening, Bitcoiners
ā Devs who can ship without Jira babysitting
š This is your time.
Hereās the surgical plan to take whatās rightfully yours:
š„ 1. Ignore the Agile Circus
Stop asking permission. You donāt need a āsprintā to build something antifragile.
You need to fork, commit, and ship with conviction.
š§± 2. Build Infrastructure with Skin in the Game
Deploy Bitcoin nodes. Host Lightning channels.
Contribute to protocols. Build clients, bridges, and real-time testnets.
Every commit you make can become equity in the new economy.
š§ 3. Open Source as Your Resume
Forget resumes. Your GitHub, your stack, and your uptime are your signal.
Run services, show logs, and sign your work on-chain.
Youāre not ājob-seekingā ā youāre proving value in public.
š 4. Get Paid in Sats
Work for Lightning. Accept tips in Bitcoin.
Start verifying. Start validating. Start earning in the hardest asset humans have ever known.
š 5. Invest in Tech, Not Titles
You're not a ājunior.ā Youāre just early.
Bitcoin is still cheap. Skills are still rare.
And the corporate grift is still in its death throes.

Tick-fucking-tock.
By the time they realize itās not a game, the real engineers will already have rebuilt the world ā without them.
