📚 If you���re a student choosing what to focus on, pick MATH. It will teach you to relentlessly rely on your own brain, think logically, break down problems, and solve them step by step in the right order. That’s the core skill you’ll need to build companies and manage projects.

Now we’re cooking with gas. 🤝⛽️🔥. ⛓️🧊.
I think the technical term to describe this situation is "now we're cooking with gas" . I wonder what happens when the world's largest financial institutions decide to go on-chain because being on-chain becomes a "national priority". Seems likely they will need a secure and.

Hello crypto.
I feel like a large amount of GDP is locked up because it is difficult for person A to very conveniently pay 5 cents to person B. Current high fixed costs per transaction force each of them to be of high enough amounts, which results in business models with purchase bundles,.

My honest thoughts on the software engineering industry in 2024:. *The Negative Thoughts* 😞. 1) It's a brutal job market, particularly for developers with no work experience all the way to 5 years of work experience. There are too few open jobs and far too many candidates.

The number of otherwise-very-smart people in tech who still think the entire crypto industry is nothing but a scam is surprisingly high. We're unironically still so early.

Devin AI is going to take your software engineering job!. Not. 🙅♂️❌. While Devin is incredibly impressive, there's one glaring argument regarding why it won't replace software engineers anytime soon, if ever: 👇. Any sound business knows that the cost of hiring a bad.

Pretty much. Ultimately, for most people, not getting fired is more important than speaking up and having an ideological battle with Google or <insert-other-big-company>.
Anyone who has worked at Google knows why no one speaks up:. 10-15% H-1B holders are scared of being let go.10-15% Believe it's their dream company.40-60% Resr and vest, pay mortgage and promo-maxx.Rest agree. There's no incentive for anyone to rock the (ideological) boat.

In November 2021, @connerardman and the AlgoExpert team launched FrontendExpert. A couple of years and some ~50,000 FrontendExpert customers later, he and I finally met up in person for the first time!. I can confirm that Conner is as awesome in person as he is on Slack. I can

If no-coiners focused their attention on Chainlink instead of on FTX and rug pulls, perhaps they would finally believe in the long-term value of crypto—and in its inevitability. Just a matter of time at this point.
With the clownshow that is most of crypto, I have always felt like Chainlink is the adult in the room. Real world utility + established network effects + massive target market + principled engineering philosophy . Recipe for success and it shows

This is obviously true—and not just for FAANG or engineering management. People who tell you otherwise are usually in denial.
Coming up on 3 years of being an engineering manager, my honest take is that at the FAANG+ level it's difficult to advance your career only working 9-5.
