Check out this episode from The Tuttle Twins titled “Bitcoin and the Beast”, based on The Bitcoin Standard, starring Satoshi Nakamoto. I think it was a pretty good episode. “When money is easy to make, society begins to break”

Thinking about how much human potential is wasted in mundane tasks, like doing dishes or cleaning the house every day. Not to mention social media. We’re all Sisyphus in some way. Some learn to love the grind of repetition.

I didn't realize until I finished public school that I missed the entire point of it. I thought it was to learn and be educated. But in reality it was to learn to sit down and shut up for 8 hours to prepare for the workforce. You're taught how to be obedient, how to understand structure, and the value of doing work of anyone with authority that tells you to do it. Nowadays you're taught to love the government, focus on every negative aspect of your country’s history, surrender your rights, get offended by everything, make excuses for your shortcomings, and force these ideas upon others.

“Great lawns need small amounts of daily care, and so do great programmers.”

Programming is a craft. At its simplest, it comes down to getting a computer to do what you want it to do (or what your user wants it to do). As a programmer, you are part listener, part advisor, part interpreter, and part dictator. You try to capture elusive requirements and find a way of expressing them so that a mere machine can do them justice. You try to document your work so that others can understand it, and you try to engineer your work so that others can build on it. What's more, you try to do all this against the relentless ticking of the project clock. You work small miracles every day. It's a difficult job. - Extract from The Pragmatic Programmer

You want an excuse to stop using JavaScript? Here’s one: JavaScript is a TRADEMARK of f*n Oracle Corporation. That’s right, the same company that messed up MySQL and Java.

Day 1 of water fasting is done. Had more time to burn more energy than usual. No cooking or eating saves a ton of time. image
