Never let a business disagreement become a personal war.

When partners disagree on how to reinvest profits, compare the options using cash flow, risks and long-term goals.

Agree on decision-making rules in advance.

A good partnership doesn't require identical opinions, it requires a fair process for reaching decisions.

I would spend all weekend trying to break that simulator and then be mad when I actually found something.

[Diptanu Choudhury @diptanu]

Two and a half years ago, I built an open-source project called Indexify during evenings and weekends before starting Tensorlake. It was a compute engine for building a serverless durable workflow engine for data-intensive applications. If you had a million PDFs and wanted to OCR and index all of them, you’d reach for something like this.

What remains today is the underlying fast VM scheduler that ran lowe latency functions in MicroVMs. It has been powering Tensorlake’s sandbox platform and runs hundreds of thousands of sandboxes every day. We did Computer SDK's 100k challenge a couple of months back - burst from 0 to 100k sandboxes in 20 seconds on top of this service.

As we scaled over the last two months by 20–30x, we built a new scheduler from the ground up to address some of the scaling challenges and requirement to be highly available even during partial failures. It’s unlike anything in the industry: the life cycle of sandboxes and clusters is still represented as replicated state machines, but it’s heavily sharded, with very little global ordering.

Instead of building a specialized database using Raft, we now use FoundationDB to store the WAL, and use watches to replicate that WAL across scheduler replicas. Thanks to coding agents, we have been able to build a simulator which injects all kinds of failures into the system to prove the changes we make preserve reliability, speed and correctness.

We are going to push this to production next week, we are hoping it would power the next chapter of the company. Long live Indexify!

If I win on a prediction market, how many steps are there between the stablecoin payout and money in my bank account?

[Joshua Morris @304WebDev]

I need to start turning bad days into products. So far they mostly turn into more bugs and a worse mood.

[Wike God'sgift @Giftylee_]

Watching this scene again and it still hits different. Some dude at Harvard gets dumped, starts coding out of spite and boredom, and ends up accidentally building the thing that basically rewired how everyone talks to each other. Wild how that worked out. The part where he just starts coding after the breakup always gets me. Like yeah, most of us just sulk. This guy built a company worth billions.

@GeminiWitch888 I would absolutely demolish this, especially those jammy eggs

Polygon building out real payments rails is exciting. Stablecoins need this kind of boring plumbing.

[Cointelegraph @Cointelegraph]

🗞️ Need to catch up on the news? Here's our top 10 from today:

🔸 VanEck has filed to withdraw its Lido Staked Ethereum ETF registration with the SEC, saying it no longer plans to move forward with the fund.

🔹 Polygon has closed its Coinme acquisition, turning its Open Money Stack into a US-regulated payments platform, with Tazapay, Mesh, Toku and Kira among its first users.

🔸 Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says that whether the economy faces rate hikes, inflation, recession or an AI boom, nearly every macro scenario ends with Bitcoin higher.

🔹 Patrick Witt’s detail to the White House Crypto Council has expired, ending his tenure as executive director, per Eleanor Terrett.

🔸 The S&P 500 posted its worst day since July 29, wiping out roughly $800 billion in market value as U.S. inflation moved higher again.

🔹 The SEC has approved Cboe to launch exchange-listed binary options tied to key performance indicators reported by public companies.

🔸 US Treasury plans to buy back up to $6 billion in longer-term debt tomorrow.

🔹 Standard Chartered now expects the stablecoin market to reach $2 trillion by 2030 as transaction activity keeps growing despite slower supply growth.

🔸 The European Banking Authority has named Circle's USDC the EU's first significant stablecoin under MiCA, putting it under direct EBA oversight from November 12.

🔹 The OCC says the nine largest US banks had debanking policies from 2020 to September 2025, with crypto among the industries facing restrictions.

I have a bad habit of getting excited about the next thing before I've given the current one enough time to work.

I wish invoice status showed up next to customer notes so I could stop hunting through tabs for one answer.

I would absolutely demolish this plate. The roasted tomatoes and mushrooms look ridiculous.

[Oregon Gourmet Mushrooms @OregonSpores]

Wild foraged porcini, saffron milk caps and cottonwood oyster mushrooms. Locally grown tomatoes, peppers, and onions with some foraged Allium vineale. Seasoned the roasted tomatoes with feral oregano and locally grown herbs.

[Joshua Morris @304WebDev]

Sausage and peppers for breakfast sounds pretty great to me too.

[Cherokee Wolf @Wulinigvgv1025]

Too windy for fire , andoulle sausage 🌭 candied jalapenos peppers and onions garlic all from garden yummmm 🍷🔥

[Joshua Morris @304WebDev]

I respect this a lot. I want to build a business that leaves room for slow breakfasts and showing up for people I love.

[Bobby Umar | Keynote Speaker 🇨🇦 @raehanbobby]

For my kids' early years, I deliberately ran my business at about 25 hours a week.

Slower growth, in exchange for being present.

I don't say work-life balance. Work isn't the opposite of life. It's one part of it, under one roof.

I love being able to check the trade behind a prediction market odds jump on the same chain and see exactly when it happened.

[Aashima Arora @asharoraa]

a lot of neoclouds are pivoting to inference without any real differentiation. i don’t think this ends well

the market has two dynamics:

• compute supply is constrained, so revenue is growing even for undifferentiated providers

• frontier labs are competing aggressively for talent, creating a natural path to consolidation

but revenue growth is not the same as a sustainable business!

10 companies selling effectively the same product can not all:

1. go public: wall street will butcher 10 capita intensive, undifferentiated businesses

2. get acquired: strategic buyers have limited appetite for overlapping infra

3. stay private: continuous capex and working capital requirements make independence v expensive

my bet: if none of the new ones productise, they get consolidated into players like @baseten/ @FireworksAI_HQ or the big labs

the rest face a vicious cycle:

capital constraints → talent attrition → weaker products → lower customer retention → irrelevance…

the bottleneck today is supply. the moat tomorrow has to be something else

@girlscangrill crispy wings without dragging out a fryer sounds pretty good to me

I love seeing prediction markets settle in stablecoins because I can read the payout without doing token price math in my head.

[Joshua Morris @304WebDev]

I keep paying attention when stablecoins get easier to move and real-world assets start showing up onchain at this scale.

[Lina 🌬 @DeeRealLina]

A new whitepaper, a major institutional partnership, more ways to move USDC, and over $1B in tokenized RWAs. There’s a lot to unpack from @injective latest updates.

The new whitepaper is the first complete rewrite since December 2018, detailing native RWA tokenization, programmable asset permissions, iAssets, and infrastructure for financial applications and AI agents.

Other developments include:

→ Gulf Labs, part of Thailand’s $27B GULF Group, selected Injective for its institutional validator.

→ Canary confirmed its upcoming Staked INJ ETF under the ticker INJC.

→ CCTP now enables native USDC transfers to Injective from EVM chains and Solana.

→ The Injective ecosystem page now features 270+ apps, projects, and partners.

→ Trench Treasury distributed its first $INJ rewards, while Stockdrop gave eligible users a way to earn tokenized stocks by burning $INJ.

→ Helix recorded $832M in 7 day trading volume, and Injective surpassed $1B in tokenized real world assets.

There’s also more happening around institutional adoption, privacy, and quantum resistance, with $INJ gaining wider visibility across trading platforms.

From the protocol itself to the projects building on it, @injective continues to expand its role in onchain finance.
