#NFT Projects are just MLMs for Tech Elites

source: https://every.to/napkin-math/nft-projects-are-just-mlms-for-tech-elites

Let’s look at the math - in the past 30 days, the top 25 collections have done more than $2.3B in transactions. Out of this, 60% of that volume comes from just five collections - #Cryptopunks, #MutantApes, #ArtBlocks, #BoredApes, and #Loot. If you extend it to the top 50 collections, we’re looking at closer to $2.8B - but still almost 50% of that comes from those same five collections.

#VirtualReality Is the Rich White Kid of #Technology

#Imagine all the good that the tech industry and venture #capital could do if they just had different shared visions of what the #future looked like. What if, instead of space travel and virtual worlds, our tech billionaires had been raised on exciting stories of a future with fast, efficient mass transit or a living wage for all workers? What would it be like if other social goals were afforded the same leeway and endless #hype cycles we give to #VR?

Virtual Reality Is the Rich White Kid of Technology

For decades, VR has failed to live up to expectations. Yet somehow, it keeps receiving more chances and more resources.

Disasters I've seen in a #microservices #world

Source: https://world.hey.com/joaoqalves/disasters-i-ve-seen-in-a-microservices-world-a9137a51

Going for significant architectural changes doesn't come for free. Teams started to realize that sharing a database was a single-point-of-failure. Then, they realized that separating their domains created a whole new world: eventual consistency was a thing. What about when a service where you're pulling data off is down? The number of questions and problems started to pile up. The promises of a high-speed development pace were trumped by looking for bugs, incidents, data consistency issues, etc. Another problem was that engineers needed centralized logs and observability solutions to span across tens of services to spot and correct these defects.

Disasters I've seen in a microservices world

When Martin Fowler's post about microservices came out in 2014, the teams where I worked were already building service-oriented architectures. That post and the subsequent hype made their way into almost every software team in the world. The...

Actually, I had hoped we would use the Internet for knowledge exchange and international understanding and not for such a #waste of #resources.
