Exploring OSS

[FrostBurnXI @JorgeMathMan]

“You do have to be too optimistic at times to make a difference.”

Linus Torvalds

@elonmusk @MarioNawfal Completely disagree.

[FrostBurnXI @JorgeMathMan]

@ZacPrater haha thanks man

[FrostBurnXI @JorgeMathMan]

First poly tree, long way to go but I'm enjoying this trajectory.

The journey to finding yourself is so personal that almost no one will be able to tell you what you need to hear on purpose. If there is anything that could help, it will likely be uttered unintentionally, and only you can recognize its relevance.

Just realized I’ve been using twitter wrong

Not getting bogged down in the details keeps you free, but ignorantly so.

Random self-reducibility: A good algorithm for the average case implies a good algorithm for the worst case.

[FrostBurnXI @JorgeMathMan]

Gotcha, so we're assuming that when calculating discrete logarithms over a carefully chosen group, a specific elliptic curve, there just isn't an efficient way of calculating the solution. Making it a very good trapdoor function.

[FrostBurnXI @JorgeMathMan]

Okay fine, I'll learn abstract algebra

reth 1.0.6 is out!

This release contains some bug fixes to op-reth and RPC, as well as various performance improvements.

You can also try the new (experimental) engine API implementation with `--engine.experimental`. This improves engine_forkchoiceUpdated latency by over 100x!!

[FrostBurnXI @JorgeMathMan]

Can't stop when it gets hard.

[FrostBurnXI @JorgeMathMan]

Don’t overcomplicate things. Keep it simple stupid.

[FrostBurnXI @JorgeMathMan]

Wow, kademlia is super cool

[Josh Gessner @joshgessner]

Navy SEALs are the most elite warriors on Earth.

Here's one thing their taught early on...

The Backwards Law (how to get what you want by letting go):

In @paradigm's Ethereum client reth, the `on_new_head` method is a great way to understand how an ethereum client ensures it can apply a new chain update when a fork choice update is proposed.

Everything is hard, until it’s not.

Keep grinding.

[FrostBurnXI @JorgeMathMan]

@onbjerg @cursive_team I can attest to this

[FrostBurnXI @JorgeMathMan]

There's way more benefits and reasons why OSS is great but I need to get back to coding. For some reason I felt like writing this. I hope it helps someone.

[FrostBurnXI @JorgeMathMan]

In the last month and a half of trying to "contribute" to open source I've learned so much.

3. Feedback on code

My code sucked at the beginning and it still does. Yours probably will too at first but getting feedback from more experienced engineers is so valuable. I cannot express how much I really appreciate it because its why I'm growing.
