Ya I mean I actually don’t have credit card debt, was just using that as an example. I do like your point on the house, though. Our goal is to never move again, so that may be a good framework to work off of.

My thought is that you can not truly exit fiat while having debt. You can make the argument you’re “shorting the dollar”, but I have a strong desire to have 0 debt, so I’m not obligated to earn a certain amount every year. I’d rather live on a bitcoin standard where everything gets cheaper and I’m only paying for day to day expenses.

So if bitcoin pumps hard enough, do y’all think it makes sense to sell some of your stack to pay off most or all of your fiat debt? Not just cars or credit cards but also mortgage.

I’m currently conflicted, but also a long ways from the price where I even need to make the decision 😅

I can agree with that. I’m a bit jaded on AI because of the work I do at tech companies and having it pushed on me for every tiny thing, but it is without a doubt useful.

Although, thinking about it, I’ll concede that asking AI questions about syntax or debugging is WAY faster, so I guess there’s room for nuance. I was only thinking of the auto completion

Ohhh didn’t know that was a thing, will check it out!

Advertising in general is reaching a fever pitch. Took the wife to a movie last weekend and we had to sit through 30 minutes of ads before the previews even started!

This. If you use it enough, eventually you can’t code without it

Super interesting read. Thankfully, Nostr could solve this problem in a very interesting way.

Man, thanks to nostr:npub10vlhsqm4qar0g42p8g3plqyktmktd8hnprew45w638xzezgja95qapsp42 for putting this great article in his newsletter.

The real danger of AI is that it will make us lazy, deceitful people. All our activities will be shallow interpretations fed to us by AI, resulting in poor understanding, weak relationships, and a larger gap of true ability.

It made me a significantly worse coder by giving me a massive crutch, which ironically made me more susceptible to losing my job.

Do the work. In your trade, your relationships, and everywhere else.
