Nine years ago, I joined ๐ as a high school kid.
I still haven't cracked the algorithm, but discovered cool new stuff, met great people, and learned a lot along the way.
Looking back, it was a pretty good decision.
@latteliem@jaxkoh_ Interesting stuff.. We have a solid founders community on Jelly. Would be cool to see you guys post about what you're building there. If you're interested in checking it out, https://t.co/etYvKXVhcR
Starting September 14, we're permanently raising standard weekly limits in Claude Code by 25% for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans. Until then, the current 50% increase will be in place.
For crypto founders, the biggest lesson from @fomo and @Pumpfun ascendance is that the distribution model of the last 5 years for apps is moot.
Web3 is dead, wallet connect is dead, dApps are dead.
The new plan is vertically integrated mobile: hide the crypto mechanics entirely. Single balance across chains, integrated onramp (Apple Pay is king), no bridges, no seed phrases or private keys (sign in with Google or X).
For wallet apps themselves, this presents an existential crisis. The user demands simplicity & the feeling of safety. In the past, your wallet was a gateway to crypto. Now, I hold a deposit in each app I use and I don't yet care if they talk to each other.
As always, we go through bundling and unbundling cycles. If Phantom and Jupiter and Metamask were bundling, we are now seeing a great unbundling.
Odysseus is a useful analogy for startups because he rarely had the advantage in strength, resources, or numbers. His advantage was strategic thinking - understanding the situation, finding leverage, and choosing a path others overlooked.
Startups operate the same way. You usually can't outspend or outscale incumbents, so the goal is to outmaneuver them
Imagine paying $400 on ebay for two Odyssey IMAX 70mm tickets. People are booking months out for a movie. This is worse than concert tickets at this point
