     Better get used to it and embrace it! After all, back in 2019 they said to learn blockchain or get left behind, and now here we are, in the completely blochchain-based future, where all jobs are blockchain

     @inthehands job postings too, both the startups posting the jobs and the job descriptions. I don't like it.

     @peter
     It’s dangerous to name anything in tech as “timeless,” but if I had to make a list, the idea of relational databases — not necessarily the specific features or SQL syntax, but the underlying principles — would be near the top of my list.

     For the record, I am not a morning person, do not like presenting in the first timeslot, and am mad at the person who wrote the scheduling software.

     @inthehands I think you could describe me as "-1 times Paul".

     I am a super morning person, am fine with the morning slot, and...well, I guess I don't have an opinion (yet?) on the scheduling.

     That said, if this is a class I'm also teaching, I'm happy to do the first / earliest time slot.

     With Minnebar, you always have to pick and choose the sessions wisely. You get everything there: the hype, the counterhype, the counterculture, the random, the beautiful.
