My job is incredible and I feel indescribably lucky to do what I do.
And nobody paid me to say this either 🤣

@ljs Good to hear!
I got a job too from London actually.
I was also considering offer from this huge GPU/GPGPU/AI company dominating the market that you've probably never heard of but I thought that maybe that is not my passion in the end... Just did not feel it.
I had four interviews to Parity Technologies and I liked everyone I talked to, passed their tests so since it felt good I agreed to make a contract 🙂 Can work remotely of course but I'd predict that there is good chance to be able to visit London sooner or later. Can't wait to get Starbucks country mug to my ever growing collection!

@ljs Blockchains felt literally like the more conservative choice than AI. We are living strange times bro ;-) It is founded by Gavin Wood who is co-inventor of Ethereum so I thought also that this can't be the worst. And even tad bit crazy blockchain scene is still flesh and bones humans working together doing stuff that they enjoy. I'd pick any day nutcases over AI ;-)

@ljs Thanks and I know :-) I see no value in AI because I have no use for it.
For blockchains I thought that they are equally bad until I realized that the S3 object storage that I love was based on blockchain but only for B2B rewarding from shared space to the network: https://www.storj.io/. It works great and is not slow. I just pay for use with my credit card reasonable bills. That led me to the conclusion that while tokens as a "cash" does not appeal me at all, I still can reason the advantages in B2B collaboration. Shared space is the "proof of stake" in this scheme, not "proving work" by calculating hashes for no good reason.
Parity works in this area providing the most scalable network of networks so that similar companies could do platforms just like Storj. I can think a number of services with unfair sharing of profits in music streaming, food delivery and similar, so I want to help people doing slavery as a service, and thus this is my way to make a world a better place ;-) I go to compiler and virtualization team for smart contracts so I have a chance to make a real difference here.
Being excited about a random cryptocurrency per se is just ultimate stupidity and a hoax. It's like someone would sell you IP addresses with no Internet existing.

@ljs Often when someone tells me about how AI making code is so great I usually say that I could switch to Windows fucking Notepad and be as productive as I'm now. My time goes mostly to evaluating code and solving problems ;-) I'm not a SLOC generator as a person. I don't even use auto-complete because it confuses me. I RTFM instead, take things in slow motion and finally get what I'm looking at.

@ljs In 21 years of working professionally in software projects from 3D engines to operating systems, I've yet to witness the "we have a shortage of code, please start pushing up the SLOC or hell is breaking loose" situation. I've saved a few projects in the past by deleting tons of useless bad code and rewriting it.

@ljs the idea is so stupid that my best guess is that someone made it on purpose
i should get a fellow position at DARAP from doing [1] if that idea is considered sane
