Turns out I'm the kinda guy who lives above a pub and gets a noise complaint from the pub. Heh.

@eevblog Liux hasn't really changed in like 20 years, currently they're rewriting the kernel in rust for no good reason other than that it's trendy at the moment. It's concerning to me how many furries there are in the software industry too, I think autism has something to do with it

@masatoalexander Mmm yeah I set a cut off of 40 for having any more kids, I’m 40 this year and struggling a bit with the 8 month old, but at least as she’s my third, I know what I’m doing by now. Definitely would not want to be doing it for the first time over 40.

@eevblog obviously it's a false dichotomy, but I'd still choose free speech. A country should have one culture, and people should be encouraged to integrate with it. Multi-ethnic is fine, but multi-cultural is probably not such a good thing, it tends to mean ghettos.

It’s a bit disheartening to see how the crypto space has played out for some. People who spent 5-10 years deeply exploring blockchains, building protocols, and taking real risks on the frontier are often the ones who’ve been wiped out or left struggling.

Meanwhile, someone who passively bought BTC or ETH once in 2016, forgot about it, and just held on is likely in a much better position today. The irony is brutal: the system that rewards risk-taking and innovation often punishes those who embody it most.

The early builders and explorers were the ones testing unproven tech, experimenting with new ideas, and creating the foundation for what exists now. They took on the uncertainty when no one else cared—and yet many of them are worse off than those who stayed passive.

This isn’t to diminish the value of holding or staying disciplined—it’s a valid strategy—but it feels like a betrayal of the ethos of this space when those who pushed boundaries end up sidelined while passive participants reap outsized rewards.

Maybe this is just how markets work—rewarding patience over activity—but it raises questions about how we value contribution vs. speculation. Are we building systems that truly incentivize innovation, or just rewarding those who play the long game with minimal effort?

To anyone who feels burned by being “too early” or “too involved,” know this: your work mattered. The protocols, ideas, and experiments you contributed to are part of why this space exists at all. The market may not reward you now, but history will remember.
