Food for thought: pairing is surprisingly infrequent in most in Big Tech (two engineers pairing on the same code). Even before remote work. Why is this? My theories: 1. The focus on autonomy at all levels + unblocking yourself 2. "We hire the best" implies you do your own work

Want to give a shoutout to my new client/tech unicorn @airwallex, who I've been a customer of for 1.5 years. Being a consultant that works on global projects, their product has made getting paid a hell of a lot easier. Highly recommend checking them out if you haven't already.

Temporarily breaking out of my Twitter-minimization for a short thread on issues around free speech and the mass deplatformings of the last week. Obviously the riots were terrible, people still supporting DT are crazy, so moving on to some things that have not yet been said...

You know what's ridiculous? Trying to write a "What to do in case I die." document for wife/family when you've got crypto all of the place.

This is the best-designed page I've ever come across. I reference it all the time. If you want to design and/or build pages that are this great - from scratch, every day, with total autonomy - send me a message. stripe.com/docs/payments/int…

Aussies: Should you download and run the CovidSafe app? Yes. And this is coming from someone often highly critical of government IT projects. @GeoffreyHuntley, @matthewrdev, @VTeagueAus, @troyhunt and others did super detailed tear-downs and analyses and it's fine.

These algorithmic questions that people like to ask during coding interviews are not predictive of someone's ability to build large complex systems. Proud to say that we do not use them at Ava Labs.
There’s absolutely no way I could pass the coding interview at any of the big tech companies. Even the ones where the interviewer learned to code from one of my tutorials.

A company that raised a $10 million series A only does so with the intent of building a system that generates profits for them and their investors. What the fuck does this have to do with the core principles or technical foundations of bitcoin.
Lightning Labs is scaling! Announcing our $10M Series A to fuel LN development, and the Lightning Loop beta release, a product making it easier send/receive #bitcoin instantly. With 4000 developers and 30+ startups, the next decade of Lightning is on 🔥medium.com/@lightning_labs/e…

RIP @claychristensen, who influenced the strategy of an entire generation of founders. Christensen's term “disruptive” is used loosely today to mean any big change—but it actually has a precise, technical meaning. In honor of his legacy, here's what “disruptive” actually means:

she asks what you do for work. you have to explain bitcoin three times. she thought you were awkward then looked up the price on her phone and realized you were just eccentric. when she comes back from the bathroom, she laughs at all your jokes. until you use a Groupon.
