In a previous blog post I talked about why I learned Vim, and how it boosted my speed and productivity. In some ways it’s true, but I don’t think I had a grasp on the whole picture. After I watched this video I realized it wasn’t necessarily just Vim/Neovim, but my terminal based workflow that was at play. I...

The most popular method used for sharing files off-chain in Web3 is IPFS, and there are some good reasons for that. However it does not come without its own share of problems, and one of those is the ability to share private files.

It Started with Clickbait It was late September in 2020, our first son was just born and I was waiting in the car while my wife took him to the hospital for a checkup (becuase of the Covid-19 restrictions at the time only one of us could go in). I had spent the majority of my life doing multiple jobs in various...

Read this post on Medium One of my favorite pastimes is playing around with new blockchains and seeing what they’re like, what they offer, and how easy they are to build on. Recently I stumbled upon Sui and some of its unique features, such as dynamic metadata and goals to help onboard everyday people. After playing...
