"Using coding agents well is taking every inch of my 25 years of experience as a software engineer, and it is mentally exhausting.
I can fire up four agents in parallel and have them work on four different problems, and by 11am I am wiped out for the day.
There is a limit on human cognition. Even if you're not reviewing everything they're doing, how much you can hold in your head at one time. There's a sort of personal skill that we have to learn, which is finding our new limits. What is a responsible way for us to not burn out, and for us to use the time that we have?" @simonw
There has never been a worse time in history to be a junior dev.
There has never been a better time in history to be a solo entrepreneur.
The difference between these two is simply your mindset.
Go build something people use.
to S&P regarding your Tether rating:
We wear your loathing with pride.
The classical rating models built for legacy financial institutions, historically led private and institutional investors to invest their wealth into companies that despite being attributed investment grade ratings collapsed pushing worldwide regulators to challenge such models, the independence and objective assessment of all major rating agencies.
The traditional finance propaganda machine is growing worried when any company tries to defy the force of gravity of the broken financial system. No company should dare to decouple itself from it.
Tether instead built the first overcapitalized company in the financial industry, with no toxic reserves. And yet is and remains extremely profitable. Tether is living proof that the traditional financial system is so broken that it's becoming feared by the emperors with no clothes.
my main argument for why Ethereum is the special snowflake is because its the embodiment of the open source ethos
transparency, permissionlessness, and decentralized meritocratic governance is found up and down the techno-social stack
these properties give Ethereum its credible neutrality, and extends its social scalability to be the project best suited to produce decentralized coordination
Ethereum is 'humanity's project'
Design โ dev handoffs are a thing of the past.
At @Shopify, our designers vibe code prototypes of their ideas in playground/"baby" versions of the product. (h/t @ryolu_)
They then work with devs to implement the prototypes for real.
There's no "handoff" along the way. It's one continuous stream of work and collaboration. One team.
Why donโt we see more properly designed referral & loyalty programs in Web3?
Credit cards, Airlines, Starbuck, Shopping Malls โ every kinds of traditional businesses have built ingenious mechanisms that keep you engaged, excited, emotionally invested, and spending more.
In Web3, we have Defi products that make you money, consumer products that are hyper-financialized & fun, AI apps that enable you to trade better or bet better.
But almost none of them design referral & loyalty loops together
- Sign up for A โ get $100 bonus on B
- Log in for 5 days on A โ unlock perks on B
- Stake on A โ gain reputation/utility on B
Everything feels isolated
Is it because there's no middleware infra for cross-app rewards/loyalty data portability?
or is it because everyone is optimizing for their own token instead of shared retention?
