This was a bit of an overwhelming week, which had to do with the breadth of the various activities I was involved with:
QA testing chapter 10 of Saving Satoshi
Coding the web prototype for the Bitcoin Core App send flow (still WIP)
Catching up with core app issues and PRs
Bitcoin Design Guide PR reviews
Preparing the latest newsletter
Foundation retreat planning for next week
Bitshala fellowship organizational stuff
Calls with designers around grants
Open Design Guide reading club
Social media posts for the community and foundation
Operational stuff around domains and Discord
… and on and on …
All of these things have their own context and depth and switching back and forth takes energy. Sometimes it’s possible to bucket nicely, sometimes you can’t control the rhythm and have to take things as they come. The quantity of things going on this week definitely prevented me from going deep on the core app and some foundation work I’d like to take care.
Speaking of the foundation, our retreat is next, and I am very excited about it. Our small foundation crew is getting together to brainstorm and strategize. A good opportunity to step back and ensure we have a solid plan for 2025.
Going to keep this one short and slide into the weekend. Here’s one final thought, of which you can make whatever you want.
Peace & happiness ✌️
