Not your keys, not your coins.

defi/spot is in a much healthier place than cefi.

when you're hodling, there's nothing that can liquidate you.

My two cents: Formal Methods (e.g., "Z" and Promela) and also, teamwork stuff (from old days, Team Software Process, and any more modern material like that).
