I do not believe in "boyscouting". I think if you want to leave it better, make a ticket and do it later. Tacking it on to your already planned work is outside the scope of your original intent. This will impact your team's ability to understand and review your changes. Your codebase is unlikely to be optimized for your whimsy. Worse though is when a reviewer suggests boyscouting.
I've seen too many needless errors after someone happened to "fix a tiny little thing" and then fail to deliver their original task and further distract others trying to resolve the mistake. I believe clear intention and communication are paramount. If I want to make something better, I prefer to file a ticket and do it with intention.

Self plug, but for most chains you can check out https://stablewars.xyz/ to track stablecoin market caps across different chains. We show $29B tether, but difference in values for Ethereum are likely because we discount uncirculated funds, e.g. bridged assets.

You can set the stage for the next level so to speak in either glass blowing or some video game. Not really following your argument.
Blowing glass is a hobby. Today's multi-user video games are a competition.
That's the real difference.
Unless you're exceptional, no one cares about either one. So probably best to do whatever makes you happy.

I played one level around 80 and was able to figure out how it works without reading any instructions. You did good.

It seems like a stretch to think Instagram is entering the financial services space. Facebook owns Insta and Messenger already offers payments. It's probably more likely that Instagram is using traditional KYC tools, probably developed for other parts of the Facebook ecosystem, to influence other KPIs such as the number of bots in the system. But that's just my own guess as well.

Instagram isn't a bank

It looks like you've learned a lot, but a lot of people are going to criticize you based off your design skills. Frankly, it's ugly so you're automatically not going to be doing any product work. If you could clean up your demos to look more acceptable to the modern day reviewer, I think you would have better presented yourself.

Reminds me when my friend told me he was up like %30 using Wealthfront and I should complete his referral. And I told him the S&P was up the same amount over the past year, but I only paid a 0.05% fee.

uBlock Origin is written by gorhill, a user of much respect. I can't say I've heard of anyone auditing its source code, but you may find reading his comments interesting to make a better guess as to its legitimacy https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=gorhill He seems pretty cool to me. And you can peruse the issues in the repo https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock I'm pretty sure you can't delete issues, so if someone found something and reported it you should be able to find it.

For anyone else that doesn't know what it means to come in fifth place: 786 commits by the lead developer, then 58, 46, 34, and finally 24 by yours truly.

I agree with everything up until the reading part. I took Latin 8-12th grade and reading it, but with the assistance of our professor, was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had. We topped off the last year studying Virgil, book 2 of the Aeneid, and Juvenal. Hard, but so great
