Recently, parallel processing and sharding have become lively again, with a bunch of people in the group rushing to test the network and interact, watching the points table to see if the mainnet will issue tokens... I find myself wanting to shout: slow down. No matter how attractive the technical narrative is, it can't stop bugs from appearing once a contract is deployed, or accidental clicks on permissions, wallets will first become leaner.
Honestly, I care more about two things now: how to store assets so I can sleep peacefully, and where to retreat when it’s really time to run (bridges, cross-chain, liquidity, unlock times, etc.). Don’t just shout about decentralization while stuffing the whole family into a new frontend. Falling behind by half a beat isn’t that embarrassing; at least you can figure out the exit route before the hype subsides.
