Appreciate the kind words meno!

Over the years, I've learned again and again how important it is to not get too attached to code you've written before. You can spend weeks or even months working on something, only for it to be replaced a few months later. That's even more true now in the age of AI.

And one could make the point that the code behind Hive might get replaced at some point too. It might take years or decades, but if Hive is here to stay, that’s actually pretty likely. Even Ethereum might drop their EVM implementation for RISC-V

Then the question becomes: What actually is Hive? Is it some technical spec? A specific governance system? Or is it something else entirely — something beyond technological jargon? Maybe a community? The spirit of freedom in the digital space?
