Developer Weekly

In deze aflevering spreken we Barry Luijbregts. Hij ontwikkelt Pluralsight cursussen voor Azure en streeft er naar om zoveel mogelijke nieuwe developers de basis Azure skills te leren.


Barry begon ooit als consultant en werkte zelfs in de beginjaren van zijn carriére voor Caesar Groep. Inmiddels werkt hij als freelance programmeur, ontwikkelt hij cursussen en is hij benoemd tot Microsoft MVP.


Barry vertelt hoe hij is gestart en wat er allemaal komt kijken bij het maken van online cursussen.

Is Bitcoin Really a Tool for Peace?

What is the importance of Bitcoin in reuniting a deeply divided world?
Tomer Strolight is a Writer, thinker, learner who seeks to learn more about varied subjects, with his current focus centered around Bitcoin.

Summary:
In this discussion, Valerie and Tomer discuss various topics, including the broad spectrum of human energy and the role of money in civilization. They delve into the potential impact of technologies like Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and large language models (such as Chat GPT) on individual thinking and behavior. The conversation also touches upon the emergence of disruptive technologies like Bitcoin, the potential renaissance of the human spirit, and the importance of finding one's true self. The podcast explores the intersection of technology, individuality, and the challenges of a rapidly changing world.

Takeaway
* Human energy is diverse, with millions of different types, and money serves as a converter, allowing the exchange of various forms of energy.
* CBDCs and large language models may have long-term implications on individual thinking and autonomy, potentially leading to a homogenized world.
* The discussion extends to the impact of emerging technologies, such as AI and Bitcoin, on the future, with contrasting visions of a renaissance of human spirit or a homogenized world.
* The conversation shifts to the role of large language models in education, emphasizing the importance of original ideas and insights over regurgitating information.
* The potential consequences of relying too heavily on AI and technology, leading to a society that is idle, lazy, and unthinking, are explored.
* The podcast concludes with thoughts on the importance of confronting challenges, the potential consequences of an overly comfortable life, and the need to push against obstacles for personal and collective growth.
