clean up your room.

First time I heard about Bitcoin, the price tag was at $150 per coin. I didn't pay attention to it, just saw the number going up and thinking that this "crypto thing" can only be some sort of scam.

FOMO hit eventually but not as hard as to make me buy some. I was seeing the shitcoins coming into the space, a friend talked about "iota" as being the "future bitcoin" because it was designed for the internet of things: cheap transactions, and all the buzz around its features that would "fix" bitcoin's weaknesses.

I even got a little involved in developing their electron based wallet, hoping to jump on the next rocket to-the-moon while reading about doge coin breaking the ceiling yet again. A few years pass, I was not into 'crypto' anymore but that interest popped up again when I saw NFTs and Ethereum. I started studying proof of stake and how to run code on the blockchain. Eventually I saw the "gas price" for running apps and decided that wasn't for me.

It was only after someone calling out on the whole NFT meaninglessness I started looking at Bitcoin again.

During these years I should have been humble and stacking sats. But only now I realize I jumped in at the right time, because I'm now resilient. If I had started with Bitcoin without being prepared for it, I'd have sold it with 50~100% "profit", because that was my fiat mind: comparing investments without accounting for inflation, privacy, sovereignty, and the other things we talked about.

I'm paying more per coin now than 10 years ago, but now I understand some of my mistakes. I thank God for it, who has used people like nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7qgcwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxxatjwfjkuapwveukjtcqyzu7we2xhgry2mknq8v7227yn7jguu9xhu3g90n6rtnjj3mpyq3aczzxg28 , nostr:nprofile1qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnddakj7qg5waehxw309aex2mrp09skymr99ehhyee0qy2hwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytn00p68ytnyv4mz7qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wgkhyetvv9ujuatww3jhg6rj9ekk2tcpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ezu6twdaehgcfwvd3j7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uqzqsmeua4l5a4gpwxmn6n4jggajzanueajyqhc3qxvfa0lugr9qcdd6lnhx4 , nostr:nprofile1qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xwtcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsqgrwg6zz9hahfftnsup23q3mnv5pdz46hpj4l2ktdpfu6rhpthhwjv4nysd8 , nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm4wfex2mn59en8j6f0qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37nc0rfn5c , Jordan Peterson, and many others to open my eyes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

man, being organically zapped feels *GOOD*.

GM everybody.

I wish nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg defaulted to “latest with replies” for its new users’ view

Only root posts misses most of the signal

I'd ❤️ to pick the default on Android.

https://app.codecrafters.io/catalog this is interesting. how to repro fundamental software ourselves.

and I wonder how cool would it be if files shared on nostr were hosted as torrent.

That's beautiful. Out of curiosity, do you ship worldwide? Any online calculators I could check the freight for my region?

Boy I love https://sdkman.io/. I wish they'd be here so I could zap them some sats every time I switch my JDK.

Am I the only one who gets a little anxious when send a message to someone on slack and try to type the context of the first message very fast before the person has a chance to ask what I'm talking about?

On devin(https://www.cognition-labs.com/blog) and the upcoming wave of #ai #software-engineers:

If the market trend is facilitating software development activity through AI, then we (the engineers) when focused on creating value for people could leverage these tools as allies to do so with greater speed and quality. From this perspective, having an AI software engineer becomes an opportunity for small entrepreneurs to deliver results similar to those of large companies at a fraction of the cost.

The first step is to make this shift in perspective. A significant number of us have learned to consider our job as "delivering points in the sprint," while "solving real people's problems" has been diluted among the various departments of the companies that hire us. Money was coming in, but we were taught not to worry about the source.

Changing perspective comes with a high personal cost not only because of how the industry has shaped us but also because it forces us to do what every software entrepreneur has had to do: find solutions to real people's problems.

For a while, this will exacerbate the problem of trying to solve everything with software: suddenly, a bunch of people who only know how to code will be thrust into reality and will seek to create value in whatever way they can. After the bloodbath, the survivors may become the next generation of small entrepreneurs, who will compete for a tighter space but, together with AI, will solve more problems for society as a whole.

Curious about what will be nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgcwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxxatjwfjkuapwveukjtcqyzu7we2xhgry2mknq8v7227yn7jguu9xhu3g90n6rtnjj3mpyq3ackfqakc 's take on it.
