Show Notes

" 'Break stuff' in that context means 'Kill People.'  The software simply must work every time, no compromise, no guesswork, no exceptions. There are no 'do overs' or roll-backs."

The "To the Moon!" Bitcoin meme is far more relevant than many realize.  Bitcoin is mission critical software.  It requires a vastly different engineering philosophy and design.  With a short, but fun piece by @Beautyon_, we break down the conceptual reasons why the development mentality of Bitcoin should be mirror the mentality of those designing software that carries men & woman to the moon.

Check out, and drop some applause on the original at the link below.  Don't forget if you like this work that you can send a donation ot the posted address, along with exploring the many other articles from @beautyon_:
