Ask HN: Where are secular source of crypto space knowledge?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29054289As history record shows that a bunch of religions have been survived for thousand years, a lot of church and temple, along with modern technology and government of secular and non-secular states.So, I am adjusting my attitude to live with cryptocurrency stuff because I think it is not going anywhere and could still exist for my lifespan. Cryptocurrency/blockchain knowledge like religions, there are good concept applicable and useful in life, there are also tons of bullshit, scam, even violence. I would like to collect sources of knowledge that is not related to any cult non-sense.Knowledge in crypto/blockchain stuff I would like to know, for example, what's top 5 coins, overall promising regarding transaction rate, fee, market cap, suitable for application (e.g. dapp), technical and philosophical limitation. I have pretty good exploring skills, read a lot of data, but when it comes to knowledge around cult, it takes a lot of energy to filter out greed based statement.Where are secular Oct 31, 2021 3:46 AM

Ask HN: Where to go as a disillusioned designer?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29030734Longtime reader using a throwaway. Looking for thoughts on my design career in tech. (Sorry for how long this is and if any of this sounds self-pitying—I struggle with that attitude, but I also don't think that's the only factor in my situation.)I started designing and building websites in 1999, when I was 11, and like some of you, I don't entirely love the course the web and tech in general have taken since then. I feel things have become overdesigned, overcomplicated, overly precious, and bloated.I like lightweight websites and fast native apps with OS GUIs and conventions. If I am going to design in the tech or tech-adjacent space, these are the things I want to work on. But instead every job opportunity I find is to work on a proprietary branded design system for a web app hell-bent on capturing and disempowering customers by dumbing things down as much as possible through obfuscation, abstraction, and infantilizing copy and aesthetics. I often find myself at odds with other designOct 28, 2021 7:40 PM

Most of them went well; many failed and closed. I even started my own companies that later pivoted to Software Agencies, or I just part away and let my partners own the company.I'm working now in a fantastic USA based Saas/Technology company. I'm now Well paid and well connected.That is the background.My Problem:I got "in love" with a local startup in my country, not just for the product. It's more about the people and how they are building the company. They have a great culture that I think will disrupt how local businesses will see themselves.
