How the US is handling COVID

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If someone has said something stupid enough to make me want to explain that to them, I block them, because the chance that this person will ever say something I want to hear is... not large.

But, maybe some day Mr. Firstname Bunchanumbers dot Eth and I woulda been pals. My loss!

Learning this stuff has involved help and advice from friends including @heretorecord, @aaronpk, and @thomas_cantrell. Thank you! 🙏

as long as you don't cry while implementing oauth, you're a winner, barely a winner today

Web3 is people trying to reboot the ICO bubble. So that they can run the same scams on the next batch of suckers.

Fellow creators! The larger you get the more companies will want to send you stuff in exchange for a free review. Remember to always put your audience first, and if it doesn't fit your audience that's fine. Always put your viewers first! #YouTube

recipe websites were the bellwether of the last web trends: heavily used microformats, briefly had a flickr-like social network (cookpad), the clearest usecase for google's "rich results", and now a trashfire of seo hacking

Remember that Douglas Adams bit where people decided leaves were currency so they burned down trees to create scarcity so the value of leaves went up? Thats NFTs.

As a software developer, you may be called upon to perform some of these tasks in your career.

If you can’t think of a better solution, add another layer of protocols.

The web is amazing: you can build something of value for billions of people, leverage endless distribution channels, architecture options, open source and protocols, infinitely scalable infra, and everything gets cheaper and faster every day.

You either plan now or spend a decade trying to retrofit subpar solutions. The world has been asking for a more regulated internet, with more transparency and accountability. Presently, web3 makes all of those things as difficult as possible right from the get go. 3/5

Web 2.0 showed us our worst social issues are exacerbated by building tech first and asking questions later. web3 plants seeds for environmental disaster, artificial scarcity, and general disregard for bad actors. On the internet there’s no such thing as “future problems.”2/5
