Developers ain't writers. This what technical writers are for
The other day a project on sentiment analysis (& an hour of Cyberpunk) made me think, why isn't a supercomputer controlling us yet. After all, a dystopian future where machines would control humans is the theme of endless Hollywood movies. To deduce, machines can't hold assets yet, good luck for an android to open an account in Bank of America. However, with the advent of blockchain technology, the barrier has been dissolved. If we talk about the BTC network, it is essentially a network of decentralised, distributed nodes that anybody can participate in. It doesn't matter whether the node is run by a human or an intelligent piece of software. The network doesn’t care. In fact, an AI has higher odds of solving the cryptographic puzzle than a dumb ASIC machine sitting in your basement, perpetually brute-forcing. Nevertheless, the BTC network incentivizes (in a certain number of BTCs) whomsoever adds a block to the network through a process called mining. BTCs are convertible to most fiat and cryptocurrencies. Apparently, for the first time in history, machines can hold assets. At worst, a group of intelligent machines can figure out a way to take over the network, run 51% attack and bankrupt the competing human miners. Once humans are out of the equations, they will control the supply and demand and extort the community to their ill wills. Cryptography means nobody will ever figure out who is behind those attacks, let alone a group of intelligent machines. If Russia manipulating US elections freaked you out, imagine the gravity of the situation here. At least, there was a way to figure that out. With cryptocurrency in equation, we may never know who is controlling our governments. With so much money and data at their disposal, these intelligent machines can rig elections with laser precision. They can’t run for president but they sure can fund the campaigns and bribe the officials. The day of machine domination is upon us.
Work Terms
Sorry, if I freaked you out. Writing about technology makes me think about all kind of stuffs not all are though so absurd in nature. Certainly, blockchain has immense potential. With coins and smart contracts, we are only scratching the surface. The DAO was a huge setback but that should not divert us from harnessing the full potential of the technology. What happens in a blockchain stays in the blockchain. Before you dismiss me as a blockchain or AI geek, I believe there is more to my writing. For example, I am a IT veteran. Last month, I upgraded my API documentation skills from Swagger 2.0 to OAS 3.0. Also, I am working hard to clear Certified Kubernetes Administrator certification. AWS Solutions Architect Certification is also in the pipeline. To give you a fairer idea, let me give you a glimpse of my clientele. All my clients come from IT industry and a majority of them are SMEs. I also work with a couple of startups at various stages of funding. Technology companies seek my services when they are coming up with a new software product and want me to develop API and user documentation. I have a bunch of blockchain startups on board. They are working hard to launch their ICOs. Mostly, I am working on their whitepaper, documentation, web content, terms and conditions etc. Moreover, I am often roped in by edtech firms to prepare various technical tutorials for them. It could be tutorial to create to-do list Android app in Kotlin, a smart contract in solidity, Kubernetes day-2 operations. Further, I do business articles targeted to CTOs, project managers, product analysts etc. For example, what is the real cost of cloud migration, Is managed Kubernetes better than hosted Kubernetes, how to migrate your web app from Angular to React, synthetic monitoring for SaaS products, etc. If your requirements are similar in scope, then get in touch
