Isn't there a guy literally called Satoshi Nakamoto, that lived near and friends with Hal Finney, in California.
I think SN was probably more than one person, and I do think it was built with government involvement. The doxxed Satoshi himself worked as a government contractor I believe.
I'm a senior developer and I've never touched TypeScript and don't have any desire to unless I have no choice.
I haven't worked on any projects that were large enough to warrant type checking or where I felt it would make a huge difference. Also I find it a bit verbose and ugly and I'm just not a fan of pseduo Javascript languages that need to be compiled down into JavaScript.
Good points. I think we are slowly becoming commodified or at least there will be greater stratification between different types of developer with much higher salaries on one and and much lower on the other.
5-10 years a lot of development work will be considered blue-collar work
started with all the bootcamps, learn to code stuff, plus gameification of hiring process, covid-remote work and an increase in automation and ml tech i can see it as a plausible future
but the issue I always had with VR is at that point when I realise i can't actually touch or feel any of it.
