View quoted note → Lightning is very much living, it is more alive than any mailing list or Twitter post about scaling bitcoin. It has 100k+ channels over 5 years of main net, btc-at-risk miles on it. We know the flaws of lightning intimately because we’ve been using it, and testing it and improving it. X miracle bitcoin scaling solution is in fantasy land and due to not existing at any scale is as good as dead. They’re fun to think about though.

It’s really easy to get on these marketplaces of ideas and weight an idea with many engineer years of development and miles on it the same as a new concept that someone just cooked up

Alright who’s making nostrtok

They didn’t have to go that hard on the harpsichord

*listening to Hall and Oates* This shit HARD

Twitter kinda washed tbh

Cool to know I’m not the only one that feels this way about Apocalypse Dreams https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxwzbZXoIFHxxA5-xZzzqic7o5uJ9OBKeD

Hmmm

I seriously had a fellow engineer tell me his job was easy a couple years ago. Seriously discounting the fact that it took him 10+ years to get good at his job. A newbie to his discipline wouldn’t even know where to start.

It’s really common for very smart engineers and people to completely underestimate their work. Chatgpt has all the code available at its fingertips that any noob does. When you tell ChatGPT to do something, just knowing that the thing you’re telling it to do is something worth doing is insanely valuable. The feedback after it gets it wrong the first time is even more valuable. ChatGPT is a new coder on stackexchange, think very carefully about feeding it your 20 yoe battle tested engineering judgement
