Had my first call this morning. Without having completed basic training all I could do was stand by and watch, but I learned so much already 🚒

@note1kcchy...

I really wanted to as well, but where I am from getting that license is a PITA. Maybe some day when I have more free time

> Cashu has consciously positioned itself in this area of tension: not as a replacement for Bitcoin, but as a complementary layer. Bitcoin provides the global, scarce, and censorship-resistant foundation; Cashu builds on this to offer privacy, speed, and user-friendliness in everyday life. Together, they fill a gap that neither traditional payment systems nor blockchain alone can fill.

Thank you! But it's really only about conferences. I will not be spending less time on Cashu though. Training is spread out across several months and is a weekend-activity. This is a voluntary thing and not a full-time gig

I am super exited! Where I am from, all fire fighters are volunteers, so it’s really about serving your community instead of the overarching government. Of course they still depend to some degree on state funding.

I decided that I’ll be doing less conferences in the first half of 2026 and spend that time on something completely unrelated.

I think sometimes it’s good to take a step back and experience something new, to regain your focus. So I’ll become a fire fighter 🧑‍🚒

Fired a 6.5’ .44 revolver yesterday. Suddenly I feel like I understand Americans a lot better.

The Melt Saga in Coco is probably the most interesting piece of software I have written in a while.

First of all sagas by themselves are also really cool, and I had a lot of fun writing the first one for the Send API. Now melt adds more complexity by needing to support different methods, that will have different behaviour. While the SendOperationService owned all behaviour the melt one does not. This is where I added the MeltHandlerProvider, a little piece of code that provides handlers based on the method used to the Saga. The saga will get the required behaviour from the provider when it needs to advance.

This way each method can implement its own behaviour, and consumers can even add their own methods via plugins or at runtime.

PSA ⚠️
There has been report of data-loss when upgrading coco to the latest RC33! We are still investigating the issue, but for now you should not upgrade to this version.

Unfortunately npm doesn’t let me plush the version, but as the RCs are alpha releases npm will not upgrade you without explicit permission

I have evaluated all available monetization pathways and determined that the prefrontal-cortex-to-Claude exchange rate is surprisingly competitive. Updating life strategy accordingly.

Sell kidney and get Cursor 200$ subscription?

Yeah, I am on the 60$ plan and usually don’t even hit my limit. With Opus 4.5 I hit my limit in 8 days… but it was one really really productive week!!
