A few billion stolen here, a few billion stolen there, eventually you're talking real money. Custody is job #1 of smart money, but people don't get excited about it. They want more Ponzi schemes.

we paid taxes when we put it in our pockets. the casino and sportsbook have to pay taxes when they get it. y’all are double dipping!!
fix this EXTREMELY important issue @DOGE@elonmusk@realDonaldTrump
it’s absolutely astonishing that most people do not realize that software engineering, as we knew it, is already dead.
- we taught people to be artisanal code-crafters, but the world now needs systems thinkers & automation orchestrators. cs degrees feel as outdated as medieval guild apprenticeships.
- the ways we judged engineers—take-home tests, whiteboards, interviews—are broken. when ai can pass these tests, the real question isn’t “can you code?” but “can you ask the right questions & assemble the right answers?”
- software production is commoditized: software creation has become a factory line. the only valuable engineering now lives in edge cases or the integration of systems. bespoke craftsmanship is niche; the rest is automation.
- software itself is changing: it used to mean pixels & functions, occasionally spiced with ml for “personalization.” but that paradigm no longer matters. software is now the infrastructure for experience orchestration—adaptive systems built for an ever-shifting meta-environment.
- even personal, human systems are shifting: our software doesn’t just mediate culture; it’s reshaping communication, relationships, & emotional endurance. it’s not tools anymore—it’s prosthetics for the psyche.
when will the world come up to speed?
@TestDummy04 It’s sometimes takes longer to get a container out of the port of LA than it takes to ship the container from China. I hope it all robots soon.
