I tend to dabble too much than is probably advisable (from a strictly career optimization perspective), but that's simply because I'm super curious and never bored. I get distracted by shiny new technologies, sometimes it turns out to not even be worth it.
But you know, we all gotta lead the life we wanna live, and I'd rather have a slightly worse career if that means I get to spend time chasing my curiosities
I hope the little daily puzzles are not distracting you too much from your career obligations ;)

Yes, Bitcoin! Perfectly aligns with my intersecting interests of economics, computer science, math, physics, and even libertarian philosophy

Me too
