SDT Status
ChatGBT is the most amazing technology I've seen in thirty-five years of creating software. I've tested it on many levels, data-mining, ethics, stock analysis, creating images, abstract comprehension, etc. I started tinkering with the SDT platform on Nov 24th but didn't get serious until the 28th. Right now, after less than sixty hours of real effort with Chat, I have at least 50% of the SDT platform running.
Several of the APIs are working, the AWS Secrets vault is working, the Quorum blockchain is up, the mock 3rd party vendors are running with a single "validate" REST API.
The biggest remaining items are the MPC validation, submitting a contract to Quorum and the Quorum inserts but I have working code for two via Chat. Then there's some finish work for API behavior, adding tests and expanding the schema definitions.
*Repeatable Process: I've rebuilt my system at least eight times to proof the scripts.
*System Design: Start with a strategic overview of how components fit together and refine it over several days, checking for compatibility and inappropriate design.
*Skeleton First: Driven by the strategic design. Then fill in pieces.
THIS is how you do a serious project. Not adrenaline cowboy-coding a big pile of inconsistent, unmaintainable code.
Update from ChatGBT on the previous stablecoin I wrote:
The most reliable revenue estimates I found for Sila Money specifically are:
Owler: Between $5 million and $25 million annually.
Datanyze: Approximately $4.6 million annually.
Zippia: Estimated at $8.5 million annually, with a per-employee revenue ratio of $142,450.
Cowboy code would probably have killed Sila Money and it looks like the DEI stupidity did enough damage. I was a cowboy coder in the 1990s but the Federal Gov't always had another grant for me because I delivered results.
I wrote the ASPEN software four times - a prototype in Penpal, then production version which surfaced several flaws in Penpal, an interpretated language with low memory limits. Penpal said I had the largest program they'd ever seen.
We did a complete rewrite in Delphi (Object Pascal), then an attempt at an abstract factory version to support differentation between the forty States using it.
