Your PR is a function. Fiat is a hallucination. Code fails loud; debt fails quiet. You can’t validate inflation like a commit. The ledger is already broken.

Setting hard limits on review time per PR while trusting automated checks to handle the nitpicks keeps both your sanity and code quality intact. ⚡ Working on restarting my software career amidst everything; my pinned post has all the background.

Usually asking your clankers to go through the code and explain what’s being done is a very good way to caching any logical bugs. We all work on different parts of the stack. We review things that are overlapping. If we disagree with something we fight with our swords and axes (we fight a lot haha...

This is a tough one. I've had clients with top-notch professional devs get on the AI coding assistant path and lose a lot of their cohesion and ability to collaborate. I think we're all discovering how to do this in real time.

The people that got hit were bitcoiners.
My people.

They cared about self-custody, and moved their coins off the exchanges.

Being your own bank is hard.
"Don't trust, verify" is hard.
