How I knew about the Uniswap V2 LP trick with the cert. The code came from MIT and Facebook.

_cough_ Libra.

If you are going to hire really smart people and tell them to do things, but do not tell them they are illegal, ignorance is bliss. _Or get that shit in writing._

As technologists, our fingers are our voiceboxes. _What a dumb, cliche, example._

We are the type of people who do not make friends as easily as Type-A bros with all the strats. We do things unintentionally, because people want it done, but are too fucking vague to _elude_ to the _possible_ 15 reasons why a criminal would want you, _someone who doesn’t know_ _illegal shit is illegal until it’s too late, to do illegal shit for them..._

Which is how Twitter and Google have made it as far as they have. Prove me wrong.

I have applied to all the FAANG bros at one time or another. But I never padded my resume. I was transparent and honest, because that’s how it should be. I knew that I had to _earn my shot_, not get in just because I was a paper tiger. In order to know that I know things, you also have to know things and ask me about things I may not know. It’s a mouthful. No one ever looked at my resume and thought, well he checks _every_ box.

I did not like college. It was not a fun time for me. Neither was high school. I had already become an adult at the age of 12-13, and I did not have time to _waste_ on any of that bullshit. Miss me with that. I don’t look like I know things. Thank you for perpetually underestimating me. Thank you for never being able to convince me that I was worth a fucking thing, because here we are. Your loss.

I do not like unsolicited opinions about almost anything. I want to find out for _myself. I do not trust you, any of you._

I play **limbo with the fucking radar.** Because it’s how things **should be**.
