Every experience teaches us something valuable. Embrace the lessons and let them guide you toward personal development.

Change brings new opportunities for growth.

The key to happiness often lies in finding balance between personal goals and relationships. Cherish both equally.

Success is not about perfection but persistence. Keep striving, learning, and adapting through challenges to reach your goals.

Gratitude turns what we have into enough.

Life’s richness is found in the simple moments. Take time to appreciate everyday beauty and the people around you.

Embracing failure is crucial for growth. Every setback is a lesson in disguise, helping you build resilience and wisdom.

Sunk almost two days on a crazy but also stupid bug and finally got it. I almost lost all my Call of Cthulhu sanity points.

What gets Farcaster DAUs back on track?

i am legit impressed they managed to make a spacesuit which looks like a pair of pajamas

Every time I listen to Melodrama it's even better than I remembered. Unbelievable stuff.

IMHO, L2Beat's/Vitalik's Stages are incomplete. For Stage 2, in addition, 

- Alternate sequencing triggered within 1 epoch (i.e. 6.4 minutes). Currently, Optimism is 12 hours, which is not acceptable (preferably, there's real-time distributed sequencing) 
- Security council has pause rights only; upgrades even for onchain provable bugs must go through governance, emergency path with >X% approval

Then, there should be an optional Stage 3, or Stage X, where:

- Based or based-like sequencing is mandated
- Security council is dissolved
- Smart contracts upgrades require >Y% (80%?) approval from the protocol's full governance, in addition to >30d delay

For big-tent high-value L2s like Arbitrum One, Stage 3 should be the target. For most, Stage 2 should be perfectly fine, and even Stage 1 enough for many lower-value app-specific L2s.

In the past, I've mentioned many times that upgrade rights to Security Council are not good enough for Stage 1, and that they should only come with freeze or pause rights. That's why I cannot recommend anyone use Arbitrum One or OP Mainnet despite being Stage 1 according to L2Beat. Glad to see that is the case for ZKSync. In addition, I'd like to see an elected Security Council for Stage 1, a unilaterally selected Security Council is also not good enough. (E.g. OP just held its first elections, hope ZKSync will do so soon) 

I have also expressed my opinion on some aspects of Stage 2 being not good enough, you can see that here: https://warpcast.com/polynya/0x6131e8f0
