Conway's Law and Interfaces
Conway's Law states that organizations will design systems that mirror their organizational as structure.
If you have one GUI team and one backend team, your code will end up split along those lines, possibly with some surprising duplication or inelegant data manipulation on either end.
One idea to improve the relationships between teams and achieve a more robust design, is to agree on interfaces. These can enforce a better working relationship, and be a natural communication point for the teams, while allowing autonomy within their domains.
I suggest that you take two opportunities to document these interfaces: once at the beginning and once at the end of a feature. That way, discoveries made along the way are captured, and future changes have the full context of the original communication design.
States vs Events
I often see coders confuse these two. It may happen when they want to trigger an external event on a state change, or another module needs to know something happened.
The difference is that events are transitory (ideally instant), and that states are not. States can be temporary
For example:
I [started] a new twitter account (event).
I am now growing the account, I am in [growth] mode (state).
A lot of people have been disappointed this cycle, as they've not seen returns in 'altcons' or even in bitcoin, that they'd expected. But if you look at the charts, we have been roughly following past cycles, even though the market cap is several times larger. Next six months will determine if that continues playing out.
If it doesn't, consider this theory:
- As more people become long term holders, and the issuance decreases, the marginal demand transitions from emotional speculators to passive flows. This, plus the law of large numbers, could have a dampening effect on volatility moving forward.
It might be less 'exciting', but it's still the fastest horse. Not to mention the other properties of bitcoin wrt storage, optionality, cryptographic guarantees.
Be patient!
