Adrian

Even Darkness Must Pass Every morning I wake up with one very simple Idea in mind: is there something we can do, I can do, to help clear out the corridor for Supernova? To help the team, in any simple way, get a slight bit closer. Sometimes the answer is pretty clear, there's some piece that can unlock the next milestone and that's what we all focus on. Like a particular component that is missing, or a particular bug that is hunting us like a ghost in the machine. But sometimes, it's not as simple, you just need to perform a whole range of meticulous tweaks and chaotic testing scenarios, gradually discovering and ironing out more and more edge cases. This has been my mind for the past months. In fact, this has been what Adrian and the protocol / infra / api / tooling teams have been asking and pushing on, every single day for the past months. The really good part, is we are now a few days away from having, for the first time, a more reasonable, ehm, [the word that shall not be named], deadline. Once this is out, the mood will swing fast. Sometimes nights are tough. If you ask people who've been through a storm, people who've been through a war, or people who've been through hardocre difficulties, they’ll tell you. There's a sense that the night with its darkness will never end. And that right there, can drive us mad. And yet, the most ecstatic and joyous moment for all those people who’ve been through a hard night, is to see the morning dawn arrive. That moment, when it happens, almost feels like a wonder. And yet, there's strength in reminding ourselves of this simple truth: however dark the night, even darkness must pass. And a new morning dawn shall come. That morning dawn is SUPERNOVA. Once the current testing rounds clear out, with just enough stabilization in place, we are ready for the next public update and a real deadline. I think I speak for all of us here when I say, I really can't wait for that. :) First for Battle of Nodes, then for the new dawn we call SUPERNOVA. ------------------------ Overall progress update: █████████░ 98% ------------------------
