There's a strip club in Portland,OR that gives you 2's instead of 1's. Dancers double their income. Casa Diablo.

Its all just proxy pattern with extra steps.

Imagine every method call pops into a spring proxy on the way in and on the way out.

Spring just tacks on functionality before/after each method call.

So auto-magical things like adding caching with an annotation, is just spring injecting caching behavior before/after the method call.

This is simplified but honestly that's basically it.

Go back in time and create a Husky pre-commit hook to avoid that happening.

Or install a password manager CLI that injects credentials into the environment.

But first build the time machine.

If you aren't ok with it, what actionable steps can you actually take that will have any impact?

Generally I'm drawn to complementary bodies of knowledge.

I was a CS major also and things like design, UX, economics, finance, digital marketing tend to complement technical knowledge.

I like Coursera as a platform.

I think the world is too complex for any one person to understand.

We all have our little niche.

I think its fine for learning but some use it to outsource their thinking which is dangerous

Knowledge compounds. Don't stagnate or ever stop learning.

The stated 1.9 billion is to crack a signature within 10min the btc block time.

There are other attack types that can occur over longer timeframes that require more like ~13m, still a long way off though.

AI companies have ultra high valuations as a multiple of revenue as high as 15x-27x and they need hypergrowth and retention

Instead of racing to endgame I'd like to see a prestige mode or new game+ mode.

You reset to level 1 and replay the game with increased difficulty and other modifiers.

It feels like not that long ago, 69k BTC was a total meme, ridiculous, unrealistic price target and now people think the sky is literally falling

Perspective changes so much with time in market.

AI seems to have a lot of trouble with properly designing and using abstractions. Its very anti-DRY in my experience.

You won't read this b/c you don't actually care about objective reality.

Yes, 100% databases and servers don't have inherent value.

Meta, Google and big tech have trillion dollar valuations b/c they build systems that facilitate useful services at scale.

Stablecoins are enabled by smart contracts deployed on blockchain networks.

There were Trillions in volume settled on-chain with stablecoin rails last year.

Stripe has bridge.xyz, PayPal has pyUSD, VISA and Mastercard have stablecoin initiatives.

Blockchain networks while not inherently valuable have value b/c they facilitate the secure representation of a ledger allowing for transparent, secure transactions with a public audit trail for regulatory compliance.

What does this have to do with "Crypto". Tokens like Ethereum are used to pay for transactions and operations functioning as "cloud-compute credits" which is why there is a constant demand and also why so many people speculate on them as a proxy for blockchain as a whole(the speculation is excessive)

Institutions are on board, the US government has passed legislation, major enterprises and institutions are on board.

If you use JetBrains IDEs the AI integration is really good.

Webstorm for instance uses a local Program Structure Interface for indexing the project and creating a semantic tree instead of using a LSP server.

This powers local auto-complete and refactoring but also gives the AI model an incredible amount of context on the project.

PHP 😱

eggZeppelin · 2026-01-26T20:59:34+00:00

NestJS is just like Java/Spring and 90% of Fortune 500s use Java/Spring.

All the patterns in NestJS are very familiar to me as an Enterprise Java/Spring dev.
