“There’s just so much to do just in terms of understanding the code better and fortifying it…sometimes you need to invasively change something in order to make it more scalable...so it’s not ‘don’t ever change the code,’ be conservative and not try to ‘move fast and break things.’”
— Gloria Zhao

Gloria Zhao is a Bitcoin Core maintainer. In this interview, we discuss upgrading Bitcoin vs ossifying the protocol, ordinals and mempool “spam”, and the theory & ‘power’ of core developers.
