It's now been 150 days since I started my latest coding streak.



Every time I do this, I'm reminded of how much I love programming - the ability to shut off the rest of the world and exist in a space where it's just you and the computer, discovering and automating a process. Everything you create is either true or false - no ambiguity, no political maneuvering, no malleable human interactions where power impacts reality.

And with AI as a partner, I find programming even more immersive - debugging, bouncing ideas, writing tests. It helps you get into that flow state described in his talk last year. I often reflect on how much those early coding sessions with him in 2017 shaped my Bitcoin development path. He was my ChatGPT before ChatGPT, guiding me into the flow - hopefully, I've returned the favor.

Behind every successful developer, there are people making sure things actually get shipped, explained, and used. Coding is just one part of the equation. Huge thanks to , Di, , and Brandon for keeping ideas flowing and clearing roadblocks so the FOSS technology we build actually reaches the world.

If you're a developer, I highly recommend getting into this mode for at least one year of your life - where no matter what's going on, you find a couple of hours to code every single day. No matter the weekend, the travel, the feelings. Every time I've done it, it has leveled me up in ways I never expected.

I love where I've ended up, and I can't wait to start announcing everything that's come out of this streak.

The first one drops on March 6th. Be ready.
