Full-stack engineer with 5+ years of experience in decentralized and distributed systems and the Ethereum ecosystem. Looking for a full-stack or back-end engineering role in distributed systems, preferably working with Go and TypeScript/JavaScript although I'm open to learning about new languages and platforms. Something open-source will be a big plus.

Is the EU limitation non-negotiable?

To be honest, I don't think verbose sugarcoating would help the code quality of the Linux kernel.

If I understand right, this in effect seems to be saying that languages can only permit what the median developer can handle. Am I right?

Isn't this whole stack very close to being a Windows Subsystem for Linux?

If you are referring to PoS (both stake and space), they make fundamentally different tradeoffs as opposed to PoW. It's intellectually dishonest to claim either is "more efficient".

>They spend huge amounts of energy that are helping destroy the planet

This sounds extremely ignorant, Bitcoin essentially has accomplished a _trustless_ transfer of value, globally and at very low costs (even considering the extraordinary fees right now). This is just the cost of that...

>If someone steals your fiat USD

>Cryptocurrency has no such backing.

Unless someone steals your private key, I don't think it's very feasible for someone to steal _your cryptocurrency_ without going against the whole network
