I agree with you about using blockchains for various things. With Bitcoin specifically, the problem you are trying to solve for is scarcity and a sound currency. It’s a unique asset not just a methodology or tech (blockchain) I’m sure you understand the problem with centralization and fiat currencies. But again, can’t argue with your other points.
I agree. Money, as defined by a storage of value and means of exchange, is uniquely qualified to benefit from blockchain technology. It shares many of the properties of gold (essentially fixed supply, unique history, lack of centralized control, consistent predictable mining, easy to verify, etc). It's better in that its supply is somewhat more predictable, could be more efficient to store / mine and could be sent digitally. Whether that's worth the downsides (mainly that its newer and easier to steal) is up for debate.
I’ve coded for 30 years. But I’ve always been motivated by outcome, imagination, intuition, & speculation. Coding was always a means to an end not the end itself. This is the funnest I’ve ever had creating software.
You can feel free to cope by inventing imaginary bad guys. But the reality is that there are a wide variety of reasons people coded by hand. And people that are different than you aren’t somehow inferior or bad.
But it hasn’t changed. That’s the whole point of the comment. We’re still at the same flamewars and (lack of) care as before. We’re just doing more of it at a larger scale.
I do agree the comment came off strong and for that I apologise to the person above. I meant to make a general criticism, not condemn any particular individual.
That's one way to twist it. What I'm intending to say is that you offload tedious bullshit to AI agents so you can focus on stuff you enjoy and live your life. And for people that like doing things like changing xcode settings (more than time with their kids) there is nobody stopping them from doing that.
