#43. Start Sooner, Arrive Faster! (Jimmy Wales: Founder of Wikipedia, Pioneer of Online Collaboration, and Champion of Free Knowledge)

from Coder Caffeine · host Creds

On this episode of Coder Caffeine we talk Americola (espresso + Coca-Cola) from Huntsville, Alabama, decode a motivational quote from Jimmy Wales, and provide a quick mental framework to shift from overthinking to an attitude of start now, learn fast, and succeed sooner! You'll also hear a powerful Mantra brought to you with a vast quantity of cold brew coffee based enthusiasm to power your day - all because we want you to escape the wait zone, stop hesitating, and turn instant action into a lifetime of momentum - just like Jimmy Wales! Jimmy Wales faced another significant obstacle in 2012 when the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) threatened to censor and potentially shut down Wikipedia. In response, Wales mobilized the Wikipedia community, leading to a historic 24-hour blackout of the site, which drew global attention to the issue and rallied public support against SOPA. The campaign was a resounding success, with SOPA being defeated and Wikipedia emerging as a champion of internet freedom, solidifying its position as one of the most visited websites in the world! Creds Community! Remember to spark your journey by starting now, supercharge your learning with rapid experimentation, and always keep coding!

Coder Radio The Mad Botter A weekly talk show taking a pragmatic look at the art and business of Software Development and the world of technology. Magic Internet Money Brad Mills My name is Brad Mills, I am a Bitcoiner. I'm an average person, I just got into Bitcoin early. I'm not a coder, I look at this space from the point of view of a regular user. I believe BTC is the best form of money. It’s free speech money. Digital Gold. Programmable money for the age of the Internet, uncensorable, peer to peer cash. A new asset class, a store of value. One of the most important open source inventions of our time, gifted to the world by an anonymous creator whose identity is still not known! I fell down the rabbit hole & have been following Bitcoin since 2011. This podcast is my evolving journey in the world of cryptocurrency as I try to reconcile my bitcoin maximalist philosophy & my respect for the Austrian Economic, Libertarian & Cypherpunk roots of bitcoin's creation with the desire to stack BTC by investing in the rest of the space. I hope you enjoy the conversations. Science in Society Drew & Liv Does caffeine give you superpowers? Will humans ever make it to Mars? Is our DNA the key to the Fountain of Youth?
