This is a problem with your team/project. It’s not a problem with the technology.

You’re missing it. Use Cursor or Windsurf. The autocomplete will help in so many tedious situations. It’s game changing.

maybe not quite a majority

VAST majority. This is 80-90% of devs.

Computer programming has radically changed. Huge help having llm auto complete and chat built in. IDEs like Cursor and Windsurf.

I’ve been a developer for 35 years. This is shaking it up as much as the internet did.

There’s an article to read if you click the link!

It has nothing to do with AI posting the articles. It is Apple’s AI generated notification summary that shortened it to that

You’re not alone. I also didn’t see either of those things, or know anyone that died from it.

I’m also not denying those things exist, I’m simply affirming your reality.

Payments is a beast of a final boss. I don’t use any of em for payments often at all. I just store value there. Like a brokerage account. And my business treasury.

If you’re into this space and not a Solana lover, you have to check it out. Huge ecosystem. All the large caps bridged as SPL tokens. Fast confirms. It makes defi fun and as responsive as a brokerage account or banking app

crazy swings in value

There’s plenty of trustworthy stablecoins now. And lending platforms have far better yield than a tardfi savings account.

You don’t even need to speculate on some volatile token to move your savings onchain. Do it for the usd rate.

You’ve hit on another problem with the industry, and that is the fact that we are focused on the speculative network or project coins when retail would benefit so much from the network without changing their unit of value. They can just use USD.

We need to stop trying to sell Bitcoin as store of value or eth/sol as gas and start just onboarding usd.

It’s freedom of money. That simple.

It shouldn’t be forced on anyone, but if you appreciate a cryptographic way to own your money securely (USDC or otherwise), decentralized monetary networks give you ways to do that.

I work fulltime in the industry and the racket that is the traditional finance system is the one that resembles a ponzi/fraud/scam more than crypto in my mind.

As an owner of a less cats over less years, this is absolutely a thing and is sometimes referred to as “disabling” or “deactivating” the cat. You can do it at home with a clothes pin.

You don’t pick them up.

Here’s an example from what looks like a professional setting. https://youtu.be/T9TmmF79Rw0

This is regarding parent comment about:

A clamp (padded, preferably) on the scruff of the neck will temporarily brick a cat.

Yes - the details surrounding that, and its relationship to this statement, is covered in the article.

It’s just for disallowing connecting to any other home devices, like you say. Wouldn’t want some spyware on the corporate device to snoop around.

Yeah it’s just the borrow checker and ownership stuff that throws you for a loop. Particularly with large system design

Rust can be picked up the same way. I was in the situation you describe. Knew a dozen languages. Picked up rust and really enjoy it. It added a dimension to my thinking (ownership). I feel closer to the metal yet safe. That said, it still gets tricky with system design. That’s where it’s a lot harder due to ownership stuff. Just syntax wise it’s not bad tho

The stuff you’re seeing on your YouTube is specific to things YouTube thinks you like. All I see is airplanes and science stuff.

I’ve never heard of these videos exposing cults as any sort of large media thing. The internet is a yuuuuge place.

If you mean generally YouTubers that I disagree with because they’re dishonest, I don’t know of any. Surely I’ve seen plenty but I just naturally click away and forget about it.

Omg just ask the dude already! You’re totally over analyzing this. Go for it. You can do it!

To add to this, there are a lot of phone apps to help track the job of all this money without opening accounts. YNAB is the one I’ve used for a decade or more. Super useful.

Nakamoto Consensus, the mechanism by which Bitcoin is protected, is the original digital solution to this problem. Several others exist in modern cryptocurrency chains/ledgers.

With regards to protecting digital treasure, I think this fits the bill.

It’s so innocent. So cute. Like your child telling you that they don’t need to eat.
