The three stages of a crypto “enthusiast”:
Stage 1: Crypto is a scam (before reading about crypto)
Stage 2: Crypto is a revolution (after reading and meeting a couple crypto people)
Stage 3: 99% of Crypto is a scam (after working in crypto)

When someone tells me they work in Crypto, it either means:
1. They are an engineer or in finance.
2. They scam people for a living.
Way too many charlatans hiding behind the "I do crypto" phrase. Especially since crypto is technically challenging and most have 0 tech knowledge

Had to go back to Norway. Saw the price of a bus ticket and a gym membership. My depression came back.

Update on donation campaign. They managed to buy a generator for electricity with the money we sent. They said they are the only ones in Rivne that was able to buy one because of our donations. Action still matters.
For anyone wondering where to donate. Here is a fund setup in Rivne one of the strategic military points between Belarus and Ukraine. Any donation will go directly to support sanitary work in the region. This a direct donation. No middle man.

This is something most are not aware of. Much of the world's infrastructure was moved to India, then Ukraine. The event has an impact for many if not most IT companies. Some rely on 50-80% of their outsourced Ukranian staff.
Two things I’ve found interesting this past week:
1. I knew a lot of Silicon Valley companies had engineering hubs in Ukraine, but I still underestimated how much of the work in Silicon Valley happens there
2. Many of those companies anticipated this and had planned well

Chernobyl is only one of Ukrainas nuclear power plants. Rivne, which is currently under attack has a huge one. If one Russian jet get's the idea to blow them up, it's a MASSIVE global problem.
Looks like we are moving to Istanbul for a few months until the Ukraine/Russia conflict calms down. If any of you guys are in Istanbul let me know 🙌

Seeing Blizzard/Activision bought by Microsoft is super positive. I spent the last year of my competitive time complaining about the companies operations and values. Greedy, little innovation and horrible company cultur. Maybe Microsoft can turn this thing around.

I'm most likely gonna go to another country for a couple months tho. However, the amount of stable countries has really dropped in the last year. Europe is mostly extremely slow for official processes. Need to find some place friendly towards foreigns.

Since I didn't tweet anything in a long time. Hi Twitter 👋 I'm moving to Ukraine next year. I graduated university last year. I work as a developer now at a scale-up. I got married last year. I bought an appartement this year and I don't really play games anymore 😄

When reading the application process for a residenceship in Ukraine it really shows how crazy the Norwegian immigration process has become. After a year of waiting we decided to not continue it, as the whole system is just on hold now. In Ukraine the waiting time is 15 days.

One of the good things about being a developer is the flex time aspect. I usually prefer to start somewhere between 7-9. Gives me room to account for not being able to sleep or activities in the morning. Noisy neighbors is a pretty common one (:

Paying 2.2k€ a year for a 40 min train ride should be illegal. Is public transport this expensive everywhere?

I don't remember some of these classes being so good in classic. The game was really balanced. Only priest lagged behind and flare should have been changed. They could just iterate over classic and reach several solid meta games.

This has to be the worst launch meta i have ever witnessed. I played since 2013 and I have never experienced this. Jesus
