Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I’m vaguely remembering this and not sure where to look for confirmation, but wasn’t Luke-Jr the bitcoin maintainer who put his foot down and blocked a design change that would’ve made bitcoin much more efficient because it would have made it inconvenient for him to run a full node on a slow Florida residential cable internet connection?
that’s weird, I’ve known so many guys whose whole personality is bong bitcoin
he also got verry angy when bitcoin ordinals were a thing for like two months
he used to distribute a Bitcoin client that censored addresses belonging to an early gambling service, people were mad
he's fractally weird
the lack of self-awareness is definitely something
Yes he led the charge against the "bitcoin maxis" who wanted to increase the actual block size to contain more info. (this later became Bitcoin Cash). We had to endure stuff like "UASF" (user activated soft fork) for complicated reasons no-one can explain now.
