if you've worked on solver systems, cross-chain infra, or high-throughput web2 backends, lets chat

@RepOgles a gay couple with children is definitionally a nuclear family.

a nuclear family is simply a nucleus (2 parents) and children, as opposed to an extended family.

@macofweb3 @uselotusai solid - shoot me a DM

[Jamie @BlockChainJimbo]

for the folks who've built interop systems, solver networks, or infra that moves markets, and who are curious about what's next:

DM me what you've built, the volume it's done, how you'd want to shape next gen infra, and when you'd want to chat about our upcoming roles.

[Jamie @BlockChainJimbo]

fyi (for the Tennessee folks): a gay couple with children is definitionally a nuclear family.

lots of different way to celebrate #PrideMonth

interesting thought: a new model being added has to be a red-alert on pager duty for model wrapper companies

from personal experience: i have a 10 minute window before i just start using claude code or codex directly

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors.

Available today at the same price.

@zeroxjackson there is a different skillset between practitioners and students. agree you should be able to solve or at least be able to work toward a goal, but i think the tough part of leetcode is the answer velocity. kinda tough to do a BFS in 5 minutes if you haven't done it in 10 years

[Jamie @BlockChainJimbo]

@BenniDaytime sick

@BenniDaytime tru

from a software perspective, this is a reasonable cost for the posture of wallet connect. it literally powers a big chunk of crypto flows and $75/mo is an agreeable number (tenderly which teams should have imo is $50/mo/seat)

and as a general rule, you should always look to prune your services stack where applicable. (some tools are better to amortize via a vendor)

[Allo @allodev]

How is nobody talking about @WalletConnect's new pricing?

$890/year just to let your dApp use WalletConnect.

Without it, most wallets don't even work, especially on mobile.

So what are devs supposed to do now?

[Jamie @BlockChainJimbo]

this resonates with my thesis too. global banking has an opportunity to move to a single rail rather than be siloed via a network of interconnected banking institutions.

[Keone Hon @keoneHD]

Before the internet, your access to information was your local library or university. Now, everyone in the world gets the same wikipedia and google.

Crypto's promise is to do the same thing for finance. Instead of having to take your local bank's rate, you should be able to borrow from or lend at the best global rates. Instead of taking your local broker's coverage set as the constraint set, you should get access to global opportunities.

The value prop is clear; time to grow.
