The legacy of crypto isn’t a technology revolution but instead that it created a culture where get rich quick mentality, grifting and Ponzi schemes were a virtue. Then made these people rich enough that they could influence elections.
That and being the financial instrument for ransomware payments

Why are Trump supporters not wanted ? You dont have to follow them. You can block them. You can filter words. Don’t you want @bsky.app to have all perspectives ? I certainly do.
As long as it’s civil. Why not welcome different viewpoints ?

I don't understand Trump supporters. Why come where you are not wanted. It's odd. Witness me syndrome in the worst way.

It’s been a privilege working on Istio’s ambient mesh; we’re so excited for it to be generally available! I truly think it’s a game changer for networking and security, but don’t take my word for it! Give it a try and let us know what you think!!

I created a starter pack for Cloud Native projects. While we're all mostly here to follow people, I'd like to encourage all the @cncf.bsky.social projects (and related) to set up BSky accounts. Let me know any I'm missing and I'll add them to the starter pack!

Hyperlight is transformative technology for secure function execution. It's blazing fast and truly impressive engineering. Congrats to the team for a successful launch!
I've been working on Hyperlight for more than three years now, and each month almost, I became more convinced this was a real step forward for cloud-native infrastructure.

We’ve been thinking a lot about how to make Istio (and Ambient specifically) more intuitive. This is a good reminder
You only read the docs after it doesn't work.
