Good Tediousness
There is good tediousness and there is bad tediousness. Understanding which tediousness you enjoy, or at the very least don’t mind is crucial to understanding what motivates you -- what keeps you engaged. Research can be utterly tedious. Sifting through tons of data, trying to absorb the minute variations to distill patterns -- it’s extremely tedious. Software can be utterly tedious too. Working through many different edge cases, trying to write code that does more than “just work”. Again, ex...

Plasma Turbulence and Dall-E
What is turbulence (roughly)?For something that is intuitively understood by everyone, turbulence is a complex phenomenon to define in a precise manner. The wikipedia definition simply delegates the complexity to chaos, another complex concept to define. One salient characteristic of turbulent systems is redistribution of energy from large scales to small scales - trickle-down physics, if you will. The classic example is that of a cup of coffee. If one stirs coffee in a cup, roughly close to ...

Introducing Forward Solutions Engineer
MissionA Forward Solutions Engineer (FSE) at Protocol Labs develops, and deploys software to help data owners, storage providers, and builders use web3 infrastructure such as IPFS and Filecoin to solve real problems. Outercore, the wider org that FSE belongs to, is how web3 systems and ecosystems scale. A FSE contributes to this mission by advocating for the proper use of technologies such as IPFS and Filecoin. They lower the barrier to entry by making significant contributions to estuary and...
