RE: This steemit feature just stressed me out!
I am not optimistic at all. I am, however, privy to the exact statements I relate.
I do not expect to hear from him for days, because he is coding furiously.
Whether the Calibrae project looks bad or not, as far as I can tell, he is doing exactly what he said he would, and the lack of posts is evidence of that - not that he has given up.
He has received funding for the project, other developers are assisting, and much else is ongoing while he is writing code. Or, at least that's what I have read in conversations with funders, developers, and @l0k1 himself.
I'm merely reporting on what I saw, without a great deal of exaggeration.
L0k1 is salty, as you know, and he is probably emotionally unstable, but I do not doubt he can write code, nor that he is highly motivated to accomplish Calibrae. YMMV.
We'll know in a few days, at most.
@valued-customer Thanks that is good to hear, all of this is new to me.
Again, thank you!
Social media is indeed distracting him LOL.
He has posted on Reddit, and been accused of exactly emotional instability. Here is a snippet of his response
I heartily LOL'ed at this XD
Hmm... I would like to have a house party inviting you George Carlin, Loki and others and observe how George Carlin and Loki trade barbs and caustic humor.
The point is valid and caustic - I don't watch TV either, but I've never thrown it in the face of others.
I dropped cable in 2000, cuz my kids were geniuses, and this forced them to - gasp! - read books for entertainment.
Worked great, albeit my secondborn, particularly, hated me for about three years because of it.
When he began to actually appreciate being a reader was when I enrolled them in public school, as he discovered that learning fractions from reading a tape measure actually had put him at the top of his class (in a pretty good school) even though he had never even seen a math textbook before.
