the best way to get good at something is usually to just practice actually doing the thing in question.
a lot of very capable people outsmart themselves with complex plans that involve working a lot on fake prerequisites.

“Coding” was never the source of value, and people shouldn’t get overly attached to it. Problem solving is the core skill. The discipline and precision demanded by traditional programming will remain valuable transferable attributes, but they won’t be a barrier to entry.
Many times over the years I have thought about a great programmer I knew that loved assembly language to the point of not wanting to move to C. I have to fight some similar feelings of my own around using existing massive codebases and inefficient languages, but I push through.
I had somewhat resigned myself to the fact that I might be missing out on the “final abstraction”, where you realize that managing people is more powerful than any personal tool. I just don’t like it, and I can live with the limitations that puts on me.
I suspect that I will enjoy managing AIs more, even if they wind up being better programmers than I am.

Something people are not getting about ChatGPT: it is impressive but ONLY if you don't have domain knowledge. Exactly like someone who came out of journalist school.
In real life, you ask the EXPERT and specialist to teach you stuff, not the journalist.

As soon as ChatGPT can format pretty PowerPoint slides it’s over for McKinsey consultants

I will take that bet.
You buy 1 BTC.
I will send $1M USD.
This is ~40:1 odds as 1 BTC is worth ~$26k.
The term is 90 days.
All we need is a mutually agreed custodian who will still be there to settle this in the event of digital dollar devaluation.
If someone knows how to do this with a smart contract, we can do it on chain, so I can send USDC.
If you won't do that, name a custodian.

The BitSignal
How do you ring the fire alarm on the internet?
How do you show it’s not a false alarm?
I am putting up the BitSignal.
$1M in BTC to alert us to the stealth financial crisis.
$1000 per tweet, for the best 1000.
Reply with your charts, graphs, stats, memes!
Bring attention to what is happening!
Because the central bank, the banks, and the bank regulators have bankrupted all of us.
They hid their insolvency from you, the depositors.
And they're about to print $2T to hyperinflate the dollar.
In the digital age this will happen very quickly.
So buy Bitcoin *now* and get your coins off exchanges.

A person I have known for more than ten years, who I consider trustworthy, is convinced the cryptocurrency economy will shortly experience a systemic risk. I don’t know anything concrete, but if I were exposed, I would be concerned.

Since the FTX roadside bomb shocked the entire industry, many have asked me how I felt about this situation. My answer is that I’m steadfast on #Bitcoin as one of the most important technological breakthroughs of this generation and still so excited to build on it. Onward!
