The engineer is presumed to have calculated his own odds. The mathematician is presumed to have calculated his own break evens. If you find yourself calculating your own odds, you might be an engineer. If you find yourself calculating your own break evens, you might be a mathematician.

2024 taught me that one must not be more talented than the market can bear. 2025 so far has taught me that you cannot keep your genie (read, genius) inside of a bottle. By whatever power of telepathy he will convince you to let him out.

The ability to retreat from over-hyped, under utilised digital technologies back to the humble analogue predecessor is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of wisdom. Also, the order backlog is growing and the phone is ringing off the hook. Case in point: The rotary cell phone youtu.be/zX7TdufZlTA?...

Get out of jail free crypto. We all know that crypto has a limited number of use cases, primarily being the moving money across borders without the interference of official bodies. Now we can add a new one to the short list: buying your way out of federal prosecution.

This video by Patrick Boyle teaches us a lot about how crypto people operate. If something is brand new, but attached to a big name, they will pour in millions. But if the deal is say 8 hours old, it is already past its prime. youtu.be/qdqZ0q6cuYs?...

As a minimum wage worker, the minimum wage incentivizes me to not go to work for someone who pays less in the minimum wage. If you can't pay the minimum wage, what's going on? Are you about to go out of business? Are the hours that I invest not to be remunerated?

For the time being, I am going to be on the road. But I need to be able to code at any time, anywhere. I have tried using web interfaces from a tablet, but editing text with a tablet is crazymaking. So I need to buy a cheap laptop with a decent keyboard, SSD drive, ethernet port and onboard Wi-Fi.

Yesterday, I took my first technical exam, second interview overall. I didn't pass the technical exam but as difficult as it was, I really enjoyed it. If there was a way to get paid to take technical exams all day, I would totally do it.
