To all the people who work the whole day on a chair, in front of a computer, how do you manage to stay put?

Everything changes and yet remains the same.

Funny story and a beacon to the nostr/bitcoin tribe 🙏 :

As some of you may know, I run an AI team at a large fiat health-tech company. The job has been sucking out my soul for the past few years, but I persisted because the paycheck was very comfortable and helped me keep the lights on at home. It's been brutal working 10-12 hour days under high stress, hardly being around for my teenage son's final years of childhood, and then trying to make time for my passion projects in bitcoin, nostr, and AI.

Last week, I had enough and finally did what I had been stopping myself from doing for over a year. I asked my SVP to lay me off. He laughed and said that's going to be really tough because I run a high visibilty team and the optics would be terrible if I was laid off. 😂

I pressed him some more and told him there was no way I could continue for much longer and he finally demurred and agreed to "see what he can do" 🤷‍♂️

I'm going to take him at his word and assume the sweet axe will fall by the end of June, plus about two months of severance. That's about as much runway I have to start making a dent with all the projects I want to dedicate my time to:

- NosFabrica: health data and interoperability on nostr

- Casa Nostra: an umbrella for all my creative projects

* "Finding Home," my Bourdain-inspired food/travel/culture show

with bitcoiners

* "July 18," the sequel to my novel 24 that's 20% written

* "Plebchain Radio," my nostr and bitcoin podcast I co-host with

* "Rendezvous with Claude and Friends," my performance art

podcast

* "The Acceleration," my AI focused podcast

* "Waiting For Satoshi," a one-act play I'm working on, loosely

inspired by Waiting for Godot

Why am I sharing this with you?

Because Nostr is where the smartest builders, thinkers, and gentleplebs hang out. This is my tribe and I am asking for ideas and guidance. Now that I have taken the leap, how do I make sure a net appears? I want to go full steam ahead on all the projects I listed above, but also want to ensure that I'm not rug-pulling my family.

All the best for this new chapter!

Keep us posted on your progress and challenges.

You should definitely tap into nostr:nprofile1qqs2rx4daefmcuwjttl0xegx0guh3tps64fq6dhv3nr56aagw2hhxkgpz4mhxue69uhhwmm59ehx7um5wgh8qctjw3usz9nhwden5te0dehhxarj9eehgcttv4ujumn9wsscakw4 for “finding home”.

Looking forward to seeing you achieve it.

Aidez-moi à comprendre:

ceux qui ont semé la violence n’ont ni excuse, ni cause.

Ce ne sont ni des jeunes, ni des désespérés, ni des immigrés.

Ce sont des voyous, des scélérats qui n’ont aucun respect.

Des barbares jouissants pour d’actes gratuits de dégradation.

Tester les limites, les interdits pour toujours plus de dopamine.

“Say hello to my little friend!”

La France n'a pas un problème de diversité.

Elle a un problème de fermeté.

Les hommes politiques hors-sols, déconnectés de la réalité montrent leur laxisme et impuissance.

Pourquoi?

Des votes?

De l’incompétence?

“On récolte ce qu’on sème.”

Une nation qui recule sur l'application de ses propres lois finit toujours par s’enfoncer dans l'ensauvagement.

Face à ceux qui défient en permanence les limites de la République, la seule réponse possible est la sanction. Maximale, et sans pitié.

Mais ça serait compté sur une justice impartiale qui soit protège, soit punit.

L'ordre n'est pas une option. C'est la condition première de toute société libre.

N’attendez rien de l’état providence, il ne contrôle plus ses fonctions régaliennes.

Il ne peut rien pour vous.

Je ne vis plus en France, mais voir sa lente déliquescence me fait mal à l’âme.

Quel gâchis!

This morning, I feel hangover.

To see so many videos of people acting like animals, destroying cars, buses, looting, enjoying fights, stealing things etc. to celebrate a football victory hits me harder than I thought.

What kind of country has become France?

Where to begin?

Tabula Rasa.

💋

If you are a craftsman, there is no misplaced pride, only a relentless desire to do better and that could mean a lifetime.
