I've "used" it in pretty much every Go project I've worked on but almost always in the form of an HTTP handle middleware. Write once, maybe update once a year when we have a change to how we report/log errors.

Bose headphones are a lot cheaper than the extra floor(s) they'd need to rent to give everyone an office

This is me as well. I can remember code snippets down to line numbers. I can remember what, who and why decisions where made (from jobs I last worked at 5+ years ago). I can remember, almost to the exact wording what people said when having discussion/arguments but I have trouble remembering the names of people I've met multiple times, I forget basic facts about my childhood or general knowledge and I forget to follow up with people after meetings etc.

I've always thought of it as having a good `situational memory`, it's interesting you say the same. I'm lucky I'm a dev, I'd be useless at anything else!

The classic crypto phrase "choose the team".

When the team consists of one person with a monkey as their profile picture and no other details other than he's rich, another is a 20year old 10x dev who's been creating smart contracts "for years", one's the cool looking marketing genius who posts on twitter a 1000 times per hour and the rest is made up of stock imagery of middle age white men who are the "advisory board"

Also to think that an engineer who’s intentionally joined a company to work on AI self driving tech wouldn’t immediately quit when they where forced to move and work on Twitter content moderation is laughable. They’d find another job faster than Musk changes moods.

I think there's a combination of both. I'm interested by the concept of the blockchain but I'm also apprehensive of the companies/projects that are created on it (for a lot of the reasons outlined in the original post).

However offering £150K + sign on bonus is enough for a lot of people (maybe even me) to overlook these issues and jump in for short term gain and the possibility of massive long term gains.

If they paid the same as a traditional startup the equation would be different and I think you would see less people making the switch.

This. Web3 companies are willing to pay ridiculous amounts of money plus they are willing to pay those high salaries no-matter where you are based.

The fully remote salaries I've seen recently for Web3 jobs almost makes me want to make the switch.

A lot of Fintechs get their banking license in Lithuania now for the EU

And you basically have all the downsides of being full time in office. Have to live within commuting distance, have to buy the train/bus season tickets (or have a working car and fuel it), have to schedule deliveries/family time/exercise around your in office days etc.

Things like mobile/webisite analytics events. User A clicked this menu item, User B viewed this images etc All streamed into S3 in chunks of smallish files.

It's cheaper to store them in S3 over a DB and use tools like Athena or Redshift spectrum to query.

And what about all the legitimate use cases for censorship/banning?

What happens when the chain / ipfs is flooded with immutable CP? Anti-semitic content? Anti-Vaxx disinformation? Revenge-porn? Pii leaks?

Just took a look at ENS, within 5 mins I was able to find <pupular_first_name>.eth's first and last name, who they work for, their LinkedIN profile, their ETH address, how much they have in crypto holdings, what NFT's they buy/sell and full tx history... Who wants that?

You might want to avoid mentioning transaction fees when trying to promote the benefits of crypto...

Are you saying it's not more practical for me to pay $100 for a bottle of wine that will be made sometime in the future plus $60 in transition fees!?
