Current industry analysis suggests that several prominent technology firms are recalibrating their hiring strategies.
There is a noticeable trend toward moderating the recruitment of entry level developers as organizations increasingly leverage generative AI to automate foundational coding and testing tasks previously assigned to early career personnel

The "one nsec forever" model is a security nightmare waiting to happen
We need to stop treating Nostr keys like permanent identities and start treating them like Bitcoin addresses, use, rotate, discard
My thesis is simple: The "Identity" shouldn’t be the key itself; the Identity should be the Chain of Keys
We can solve the security problem by turning our profiles into a personal blockchain
Here is how we do it
1 The Chain of Custody
My Personal Blockchain
Right now, if you lose your nsec, you’re dead
In my model, Key A is just the "Genesis Block." When I want to upgrade security or switch devices, I don't just start over, I have Key A sign a cryptographic message effectively saying, "I am moving to Key B, Key A is now dead"
Later, Key B signs a message handing power to Key C
I have effectively created a blockchain of my own history
2 Automated Fact Checking
If a follower has been offline for a year and sees a post from my new "Key C," they don't need to ask if it's really me
Their client automatically traces the lineage: Key C was signed by Key B, and Key B was signed by the Key A they originally followed
The chain of trust is unbroken and verifiable by anyone
3 The "Double Spend" Fix
The obvious flaw is: "What if a hacker steals my old Key A and tries to point it to their own Key Evil?"
This creates a fork in my identity, a "double spend" of my reputation
The fix is Bitcoin
When I rotate keys, I don't just post it to Nostr, I anchor the hash of that rotation event into the Bitcoin blockchain
Bitcoin provides the absolute timestamp
The client sees that my rotation happened at Block 850,000, and the hacker’s fake rotation happened at Block 890,000
The network rejects the imposter automatically
(KERI)
It’s time to decouple the user from the nsec. Let the keys burn, the chain remains
I am officially commencing a comprehensive deep dive into the Robert Breedlove and Michael Saylor "What is Money?" series
Let me be abundantly fucking clear to Nostr: I am not soliciting feedback, skepticism, or any fiat mindset bullshit regarding this initiative
My objective is to fundamentally reengineer my ontological framework regarding value, and quite frankly, I do not give a solitary flying fuck if you disagree with the premise
Following the release of the Epstein files, the lack of any legal action or public outcry has been striking
Despite the serious implications regarding the high profile individuals named in the files, there have been no arrests and no civil unrest
This silence is a troubling stress test of societal boundaries, the public is too distracted to demand accountability
It creates the perception that a different set of rules exists for the elite and that systemic corruption can occur without fear of consequence or public pushback

I didn't agree to the terms and conditions of Nostr
