I'm working pretty hard on building what comes after Github, but I'm going full-tilt boogie and trying to also work out what comes after Git. I'd love to have a longer conversation with you about how we can seed a better system, because on the off chance I'm successful I have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to fix past mistakes.

      I'd say a code artist, more commonly called a hacker. https://paulgraham.com/hp.html https://paulgraham.com/hp.html To be clear for the past five years I've done nothing but write OSS code (https://github.com/conartist6 https://github.com/conartist6) while sharing pretty much all my engineering thoughts on a public Discord server (https://discord.gg/NfMNyYN6cX https://discord.gg/NfMNyYN6cX), so I'm not very worried at all that a person determined to find out would be unable to tell if I'm legit. You just can't fake 20,000 hours worth of public toil.

    I'm not sure if your aware, but in American English, "con artist" is another term for a scammer. Someone who does "cons", short for "confidence tricks" (or "confidence schemes") where you gain someone's confidence in order to take advantage of them in some way, usually financial fraud.

        The best time to have chosen a new name was 20 years ago. The second best time to choose one is now.

        ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm me. 's not likely to change is it? I could color inside the lines and hope it buys me a nice life, but if I was that kind of person I would never have tackled this insane of a project

  Maybe he likes a challenge?

    I guess I happily invite people to disrespect me for superficial reasons. Baseless disrespect keeps me motivated. Sorting out people who are only kicking tires also helps protect my time. The ones who show real curiosity, those are the people I'll give my full attention to any day of the week.
