Andrew Burian

SRE lead at @dapperlabs

I run nodes for @flow_blockchain, scale infrastructure for
@nbatopshot, secure @hellodapper, and occasionally get time to write.

[Andrew Burian @AndrewBurian]

I sometimes appreciate how relatively boring Dapper is.

Topshot/All Day are fun and get things wrong. The industry is still figuring out what good looks like, bring on the 🔥 and opinions!

We didn't invent credits, balances, KYC, AML. We just do what you have to. Trust is key.

In addition: Every dollar of customer funds in the @hellodapper custodial wallet is backed 1:1 by dollars held at an external financial institution. Fully reserved, liquid, segregated from operational cash, and only available for transacting or withdrawal by the customer.

[Andrew Burian @AndrewBurian]

It's far from perfect, we're forever chasing more 9's on that 99.9% reliable, fixing bugs, and trying new things that end in flames. Innovation requires failure!

That said, the Flow, Dapper, Topshot, and All Day teams have made TREMENDOUS progress and deserve the shoutout 👏

[juan wick (hyperliquid super cycle) @staystacced]

No one's gonna talk about how @flow_blockchain burned 2 million moments over the past 2 days + a flawless RSVP queue where packs were distributed within a couple hours + @NFLALLDAY challenge reward drops all during the same time.

Blockchain's been operating flawlessly.

[Andrew Burian @AndrewBurian]

Thanks for having me! It was a lot of fun. I hope everyone learned something interesting, even if it wasn’t from me! 😁

[Localhost @Join_localhost]

At the just concluded #LocalhostConf22, the Keynote address was delivered by @AndrewBurian. He is the SRE Director at @dapperlabs.

Andrew's address was centered on "Doing it on Purpose". He discussed design thinking and why it's important in organizations. Andrew also spoke on

[Andrew Burian @AndrewBurian]

I'm back!

Where's he been? Building teams! How's it going? GREAT! I am so proud of how the SRE, IT, and Security teams are shaping up at Dapper. More roles coming soon at https://t.co/n5HOh3wWV3 👀

Now with some time to breathe I'll be back to deep-diving and ranting here soon!

[Andrew Burian @AndrewBurian]

Champions! 🏆 🍾

You are looking at the crack team that's now the 2021 BC Tech Impact awards' Excellence in Innovation winners!

Congratulations to the entire @dapperlabs team for the herculean effort to get this far!

(And apologies to Sam for making him look short 😅)

[Dapper Labs @dapperlabs]

🎉We're honoured to be awarded as the winner for Excellence in Technology Innovation from @wearebctech!

🙌Proud to be a startup coming from Vancouver, BC!

[Andrew Burian @AndrewBurian]

This should be a surprise to no one who follows me, but I struggle with being concise. In that regard twitter is fun because it forces me to compress thoughts into 140B, but also means I skip a lot. Would you prefer me to keep tweeting my thoughts, or would you read long form?

[Andrew Burian @AndrewBurian]

Luke is the hype man everyone deserves, but talk about setting a bar! I do have to occasionally spend some time building the things in between chattering on about them.

I'll see if I can pull something good out of my bucket of opinions this week. Lots of material there 😆

[Luke @eldumbo]

Seriously, @AndrewBurian might be the most underrated twitter account in this space. I'm making that claim.

[Andrew Burian @AndrewBurian]

@PlungeFather Dapper Labs is always growing!

@alienoutofeartj @mekaverse_nft @BrianGarrett Eric my man, have you ever won anything from these? A 31 tweet giveaways-only account boasting about profits to FOMO you into tagging people?

Don't waste your time, and don't drag others into it. They just want to farm our accounts and build their followers. Mute em and move on.

[Andrew Burian @AndrewBurian]

Today marks a decade of my twitter account existing, and I've only now cracked 300 followers. Thanks NFTs!

Also thanks to everyone who RTs my random brain dumps. I'm enjoying doing these peeks behind the curtain, let me know if you have ideas for things you'd like to hear about!

[Andrew Burian @AndrewBurian]

@mbl267_NFT I try and post about what's going on under the hood of our NFT work, mostly from a technical lens but this week was about the legal rights you have as a collector that you don't get otherwise. Admittedly only scratching the surface of the disconnect here.

[Andrew Burian @AndrewBurian]

If you dabble in NTFs of any kind, you've likely seen variants of "you don't own anything if you own an NFT, just a blob of data". It can get a bit disheartening and also isn't true!

Now I certainly can't speak to every NFT, but lets do what no one does and read TopShot's ToS 🧵

[Andrew Burian @AndrewBurian]

@topshotta @eldumbo I'm just real bad at hashtags and twitter in general. 😅Thanks for all the RTs to cover me

[Andrew Burian @AndrewBurian]

@SuZendo https://t.co/3hILJj6Uyh

Turns out, I have quite a lot of thoughts on that.

I think the some @nbatopshot collectors think of the "moment" as the video clip. That's the most interesting part, sure!

But as the metaverse grows, remember a moment is that entire holographic cube, which is a full 3D asset that one day I hope we'll start exposing to devs. 🪄

[Andrew Burian @AndrewBurian]

That's my little foray into legal fine print. As always, read the terms yourself before you start pushing the bounds of any license. This thread is enthusiasm, not legal advice. ToS may always change

See you in the metaverse as soon as someone builds it

If you don't want to fall victim of sharding, obviously I'm going to send you to @flow_blockchain. We're scaling without them!

For the license, you can take inspiration from TS, but if you want a dead simple one that Just Works™, check out https://t.co/65eq5eNGei
