this is so cool, i liked the musical instruments one!

would be super interested to hear more about the puzzle-making process too, is it fully automated with AI at this point or is there still a good amount of manual work and fine-tuning involved?

bookmarked already, can't wait to play tomorrow again

Adam fits better as someone Satoshi respected, not who Satoshi was... Bitcoin explicitly cites hashcash. If Adam was so careful, why would he name himself in the paper; tongue-in-cheek? hide in plain sight? I don't buy it...

Hal Finney is the strongest alternative, but even there, I’m not fully convinced. Hal had the technical profile, mined early, and received the first transaction. But he also feels almost too obvious. I believe, just as Adam Back's hashcash, Hal's RPOW was a precursor.

I lean toward Len Sassaman, who was deeply embedded in the exact world Satoshi seemed to come from: remailers, anonymity systems, OpenPGP, and privacy-first engineering. Same things that got his conversations with Adam and Hal going... Adam here is probably just protecting his friend's legacy

you hit the nail here.. repetition is key! that’s what happens at a workplace or school. You show up every day, do your thing, and have small interactions here and there. Over time, those interactions grow, and you get to know each other on a deeper level and become friends.

This can be replicated with similar activities that involve a schedule, like joining classes, volunteering, or whatever else fits that kind of setup.

I guess she knew what companies will attend and did her homework of the possible representatives (usually higher-ups from sales, marketing, CEO obviously, depends on the size of company as well). If the sector is small enough you can even do your homework on the key leaders as they will most likely be there, especially if it's THE event you should be if you're activating in that sector.

Django if you already know python. Rails if you are getting started or already know js

^this

Even if we are attracted by new libraries (Svelte) or think of going with the most popular choice (React), Rails is still one of (if not THE) most comfortable fullstack frameworks for building web apps.
