Replying to @GShaneMorris
It’s the exact same use case as launching the old roadster into solar orbit near Mars. It’s sheer audacity. It is an example of what we can do, and more than that, what we can _afford_ to do. It is youthful exuberance and power in full display. It is a message to the rest of the world: “You can’t catch us.” Cue: We are the champions.

before ai it was cognitively expensive to be a programmer cuz you had to really use brain cycles for everything, from architecting, to even using the right variable names etc. it was genuinely draining. & if you programmed for a whole day, you were fucking tired. even code reviews required you to think deeply & you had to be aware of the entire code base to some extent too. so not only did you have to have context loaded, you had to do manual inference if you will. ai completely eliminated all of this strain.

God intentionally made your calling beyond your natural ability so you would have to depend on His grace to fulfill it.

Bitcoin just dropped below $109K, down 13% from its high less than two weeks ago. Given all the hype and corporate buying, this weakness should be cause for concern. At a minimum, a decline to about $75K is in play, just below $MSTR's average cost. Sell now and buy back lower.

You’re still early. Learn programming. Study crypto. Understand everything about LLMs. Keep learning. Become obsessed with something. The right information will change your life.

Hard to put into words how huge this is. Epic really did it. Apple's monopoly on payment processing is finally over. 🫡
