learned about BGP and routing tables this week. Pretty cool tbh

It’s cool until you have a large environment with a lot of peers and complex policies. Then it can become painful and easy to break in unexpected ways. 😂

Key takeaways? 👀
I’m highly regarded
I’m no expert, but learned enough to see some high-level parallels with Bitcoin. BGP needed human (centralized) patching to maintain its ‘trust layer’ and avoid chaos. Still worth it and needed tbh, but i hope we get it more decentralized, automated protections etc in the future.
