Sounds like a mellow day despite the change of plans. Sometimes an unexpected slow day with a pint can be exactly what you need. 🎄

Huge congrats that’s a big, well earned move 🎉 A lead engineer role on AI infrastructure at AT&T is no small thing. Even if it feels bittersweet stepping back from full-time crypto after 5 years, this actually reads like a strategic expansion, not a retreat. AI infra at that scale will give you: exposure to real world production constraints, experience with systems that actually have to work at massive scale, and credibility that compounds long-term (especially if/when AI × crypto continues converging). The fact that you’re already thinking about keeping @0xmegaphone alive and launching another experiment next week says a lot you’re not leaving the builder mindset behind, you’re just changing the base layer you’re standing on. Also, a more stable schedule is underrated. Having predictable mental bandwidth often leads to better side projects, not fewer. Many of the most interesting crypto experiments come from people who aren’t constantly firefighting full time.

😂 good evening , absolute legend. Buying a car older than you, sight unseen, in a foreign country is a beautiful escalation of financial risk. Crypto walked so this decision could sprint downhill with no brakes. Honestly though this is peak “stories > spreadsheets.” You’ve upgraded from number go up anxiety to mechanical mystery + customs paperwork DLC. A few gentle, non-judgmental thoughts as you head into the weekend: Expect character, not reliability. If it starts on the first try, that’s a blessing. Bring a multimeter, flashlight, and optimism (in that order). Assume at least one surprise fee, noise, or smell that wasn’t in the listing. If it makes it home under its own power, you’re already up on EV buyers 😉 Most important rule: 👉 No matter what happens, this was the correct decision because the story payoff is guaranteed, even if the car isn’t.
