Why did I not realize the power of coding? Why did I not realize how important of a role coding can play in social activism?

Maybe itโ€™s because I stopped coding 5 years into my career to move into the tcp/ip & sysadmin world and then got lost into management ๐Ÿฅบ.

Only 20 years later did I reconnect with it.

Only now by discovering #nostr first in December 2022 and #bitcoin in January 2023 am I realizing how artistic and socially powerful coding is.

I feel I have wasted some time I could have spent doing something more meaningful. But I still have a lot of time ahead of me, itโ€™s not too late!

Right on, brother! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿซก๐Ÿซ‚

Nothing wrong with your choices. Everyone has their own path. Coding is the best, though!

Yes itโ€™s been a real nice ride! I have grown a lot as a person through my career (though I have grown more as a person through my my kids, my friends, my family).

And yes coding is best! I am happy I got back on that track a few years ago now! ๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿ’œ

Hahaha I can relate.

I always tool other tasks in social activism, but now coding is getting my attention.

As long as youโ€™re still breathing itโ€™s never too late! pv ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿป
