OAuth has become the de facto standard for platform authentication and authorization and it’s in your interest (not mine) to adopt it sooner rather than later.

people think programming is a set of rigid instructions but in reality its actually a very personal and expressive form of art that really allows a person to show how deranged they are

Gardening is about claiming a small patch of the web for yourself, one you fully own and control
It shouldn't live on the servers of Twitter, Facebook, or Medium. None of these platforms are designed to help you slowly build and weave personal knowledge

I think the blockchain crowd is trying out a pivot to claim that their critics don't understand all of technology generally, rather than blockchains specifically?

I assure you, that is not the case. And once again, our skepticism is because we *do* understand.

if your primary worry when buying a NFT is will there be enough liquidity to exit it when you want to, then you probably shouldn't buy it

Folks who love NFTs need to recognize that there are reasons not to love them, and not just the environmental impact. I see that you are really excited about this, but it seems kinda like no one makes money unless more people are always buying in.

We have a name for that.

For folks who responded to this, "Yes, but, in the future..." or "Yes, but, this particular project..." that's fine. Look, I am often wrong.

Right now, the entire crypto space is awash with money laundering, fraud, schemes, theft, and tax evasion. It is a mess.

The “Acceptable To Italians Index” is my new favorite set of metrics

The OAuth Security Workshop 2022 is on track for May 4-6 in Trondheim, Norway!

I have found it fascinating watching a substantial number of web3/crypto pushers come to the dawning realization that they're not misunderstood, they're loathed. Realize that they had no idea the degree of ad spam, bots, and over-hyped shilling that everyone else is dealing with.

The realest part of web3 is everything you hated about Web 2.

Here’s what’s important for web3 folks to know, from someone who was there: you were told a lie about Web 2.0. We had the same idealism, the same optimism, and equally good tech. The extractive financialization happened anyway, and you’re walking into the same trap.

YouTube should add a notification on all of your videos when you’re live on your channel

then when someone is casually watching one of your vids, they’ll see you’re live

if they’re not already subbed, they might become one after seeing the live

The worst symptom of burnout is the guilt for feeling like you haven't done enough to deserve to be burned out.

It’s my new favorite song.

I can’t even tell if it’s real or if I’m just watching an AI simulation of a twitter beef lol

You run a website based on… rumors? That’s a grift my dude…
