It's truly baffling. I was very frustrated with C++ (pre-LLM era) to the point I actively left a good job just so I can work on Rust.
Re:Stripe Launches L1 Blockchain: Tempo

Greed. There's no technical basis. I am pretty sure they considered it and even though L2s do not pay much rent to L1, Stripe wanted absolute control (which goes against decentralization) and all the fees in their pocket. Just hoping this doesn't become another trend.

Absolutely, I worked on tech behemoths and smaller companies. The dev experience was significantly better when all development was local. I even worked on initiatives to move development away from the cloud, and although other devs were skeptical, they ended up loving it.

The correct thing to do is to leave these comments as a code review and let the contributor fix it. No one argued in favor of accepting a buggy patch.

I worked on this team for 3 years along the OGs behind BMQ, specifically on a closed-source middleware with very similar architecture. I am very happy that they finally open sourced one of their main projects!
They have very strict standards which are necessary given that C++ really is a minefield. We did a great job avoiding UB by following those coding standards. There is some verbosity that can be avoided but hey these are details.
Personally, I have moved to Rust since then and I am not looking back.

There are no "special" persons or superheroes. It is all about time + money.
If a tech giant wants this to happen - e.g. because memory un-safety is mostly the root of all evil - they can use people from the current team and throw a few millions on hiring new talent.

A lot of alt-L1s claim to scale however they usually sacrifice decentralization which completely degenerates the network to an inefficient database.

"A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors"
Sorry to burst your bubble, but cryptocurrency does not work this way. Your reasoning can be applied to any asset, for example, a shitty house in California that is now worth $1M.

Uhm it might be hard to use but I completely reject the "exploitable for crime" part. Actually Bitcoin payments are a blessing for all those people that had to physically travel to Western Union branches to receive cash from abroad. Gangs frequently targeted such poor individuals and stole their cash. Bitcoin fixed this.

Future will tell. But the author is either acting on bad faith or they are not informed on the innovations that happened since then and are currently happening in the crypto space. And I am not even focusing on NFTs but on hardcore crypto stuff such as multisig and zero-knowledge proof protocols.

It is scary how the internet is turning into a walled garden so I welcome all efforts to decentralize it. For example, we will start seeing "Sign in with Ethereum" in addition to "Sign in with Google".
To begin with, I am more excited about DeFi on Ethereum and the disruption of the traditional financial industry. We are not there yet but the movement has more than enough momentum.

I agree with you. For example, in an algorithms class they need to focus on the right things such as O() and not on the Java compiler or the Python interpreter or even worse (god forbid) on gcc.
