This week we're going back in time to one of our top performing shows of all time where we talk with Matt Rickard about his blog post Reflections on 10,000 Hours of Programming. These reflections are about deliberately writing code for 10,000 hours. Most don't apply to beginners. He was clear to mention that these reflections are purely about coding, not career advice or soft skills. If you count the reflections we cover on the show and be the first to comment the amount of reflections on this thread in Zulip, we'll give you a coupon code to use for a 100% free t-shirt from the merch store. Good luck...

Hey it's Steph Dickson and welcome to the Live Wide Awake podcast. By now, you've probably heard of the words blockchain, NFTs, web3 buzzing around. And maybe you've started to get curious about what it all means. I certainly have. And I've been seeing a lot of people who work in the environmental space starting to come out with projects. I'm intrigued about the potential applications and impact for society and the environment with this technology. So today we're speaking with Matt Rickard, Co-founder of Task.io, a Stellar-based blockchain platform that helps social enterprises to scale more effectively and TheBlueMarble.io, an eco-friendly NFT marketplace where creators can support social and environmental causes. The common thread there is the Stellar-based blockchain which alleges to be faster, cheaper and more energy efficient than typical blockchain based systems. We will dive into this more during this chat. It's time to live wide awake.

We've talked a lot about the blockchain, NFTs and Web 3.0 on Digging Deeper recently, but there's a big concern out there over blockchain technology and its carbon footprint. It's estimated that one Bitcoin transaction uses around 2,100 kilowatt hours. That's the same energy the average U.S. household uses in 75 days. When the energy source powering the computers that churn out that transaction is non-renewable, more greenhouse gas emissions happen and the environment takes another hit. But Bitcoin is one of hundreds of options for cryptocurrency and blockchain access. And this is where competition makes the market balanced for everyone. There are simply better options out there. Matt Rickard is the co-founder of Task, a Stellar blockchain-based platform that helps companies connect their teams with the organizations social missions. But he is also the co-founder of The Blue Marble, a Steller-based NFTs marketplace. The common thread there is the Stellar-based blockchain which alleges to be faster, cheaper and more energy efficient than typical blockchain based systems. Rickard educated us on the sustainability issue and blockchains, talk to us about The Blue Marble and how brands can be more responsible with NFT work in marketplaces like his and then help us understand the connection between a company, its employees and its social good.

Today we're talking to Matt Rickard about his blog post, Reflections on 10,000 Hours of Programming. Matt was clear to mention that these reflections are purely about coding, not career advice or other soft skills. These reflections are just about deliberately writing code for 10,000 hours, which also correlates with the number of hours needed to master a skill. If you count the reflections we cover on the show and be the first to comment on this episode, we'll get in touch and send you a coupon code to use for a 100% free t-shirt in the merch store.

Stellar Global Radio with Sam: Exploring the Stellar Blockchain and Beyond
Task is a mobile application with a Stellar wallet embedded providing the ability to track team and community activities with flexible ramp on/off integrations. Let's dig in to what Task enables organizations and users to do. 1. Economic communities Connecting people through economic communities is central to what Task does. Payments can be made when an activity is completed, they can be standard user to user payments, or they can be sent as an “Award” with a message. We believe tokens can bring communities together - whether a stablecoin, a traded coin, or a private branded token with non-financial value, these exchanges between users create a place of reward and connectivity. 2. Token payments in exchange for verified activity Getting paid when an activity is completed has far reaching ramifications - it allows funds and grants to “drip feed” investment into projects, delivering micro-payments as work is done. Task allows optional verification of activity before payment is released to protect funds. 3. Blockchain ledger tracking of any event All the activity gathered using the Task mobile app uses a one way hashing algorithm to represent this data in the Stellar transaction memo field. It means that data gathered via Task cannot be tampered with, and it increases the data veracity of the organisations using Task to gather and prove their impact. Let's look at a use case . Our customer ACTAsia tracks vet activity across China, providing pain-free operations to animals. We can see: ACTAsia are using our IMPACT token to track and reward, and here we see the hashed data stored in the Stellar transaction history https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/tx/2adac78b558f1b8bf42406941d8c0d52ad8b7b75c7fe7ef56e7a4aa33ca83ea4 We use the blockchain to not only provide payments, but also to build out the data story with critical proof points to see that the organizations and communities creating real impact are the ones who shine the most. 4. Donor visibility into fund usage We also support the provision of donations to projects - and for donors we use the Blockchain ledger tracking to provide ongoing proof of how their funds are being used. They are able to login to the Desktop version of Task and get a transaction history of how their donation money was utilised. 5. Crowd voting and awards Awards were mentioned earlier - but it's worth adding that these subjective Stellar payments against the activities tracked means Task can provide decision mechanisms, letting the community vote with their tokens.
