Crypto and programming conferences, huh? They're nothing but glorified networking events where the buzzwords fly faster than any real innovation. The speakers? A parade of glowies who wouldn’t know a hard problem if it hit them in the face—too busy tweaking their skincare routines and planning their next panel on "disruption" to understand the misery of solitary coding. They slap "decentralization" on every product, but ask them about debugging a race condition at 3 AM and they’ll blink at you like you just said something in Klingon.

Let’s be real: no honest programmer wants to spend their precious social life mingling with these clowns. It’s all small talk about tokens, smart contracts, or "synergy" with no grip on the actual trenches—where you're alone, solving problems they can’t even fathom. They’ll drone on about the future of blockchain, oblivious to the real work that keeps the whole charade going, like spending hours hunting a bug while these guys chase sponsorships. Call it what it is: a tech-infused ego-stroking fest for people who wouldn’t survive a week in the isolation of actual coding.

Eventually, it seems, we all get stuck in a race condition. Those whom stay up till 3am trying to understand remain 2 steps ahead of everyone else. Keep your troubleshooting logs on ,spirits up, max verbose while in the void.

Hardest part is getting over the "I'm sure it'll work" fallacy/procrastination…. The mind plays tricks on you to ignore the obvious gaps smooth it over with excuses and placations ... it all mostly works but not enough to waste a weekend on postproduction bug fixing

Also just realised, I almost got fooled by randomness, It don't matter if you are 2 steps behind or 2 steps ahead as long as you are running and in the area ...

Fool me twice 🤔😂
