Connecting dots between technology, money, and the body. Quietly.

[Echoes @ofsomesilence]

I’m obsessed with three things:

How to build systems that make money while you sleep.

How to push the human body past what’s “normal.”

How to think clearly when everyone else is reacting.

This account is where I share what I find. No fluff. No credentials. Just what works.

@IAmPascio AI will start to curate our feeds soon, that’s the future

@Founder_Mode_ Yes, but I wont trust a vacuum cleaner with a camera. I’ve seen enough examples of a hacked cleaner.

Everyone's building AI agents.

Meanwhile I'm selling a Google Sheets automation for $500/mo that replaced a full-time data entry hire.

The client doesn't care if it's "AI" or a glorified IF statement. They care that it works and it's cheap.

This industry has a hype problem.

@Daywrotethis Fkn inspring man, I hope you are not coping and living the life you said.

Hot take after 18 months of selling AI agents:

“AI agents” are overrated.

Boring automations > fancy AI

$500 workflows replacing $50K employees.

That’s where the money is.

This is the worst advice I’ve seen for a while. Don’t spend your whole life for something which is gonna fail mostly. And he is clearly lying so don’t listen to him.

Brian Armstrong explains how he built Coinbase on nights and weekends while working at Airbnb

Brian first advises those who are currently employed to not build your project on company hours or on your company laptop:

“If you build it on company time or on the company hardware, the company probably owns the IP.”

Then he describes his schedule for working on Coinbase while still working full-time at Airbnb.

“I would often work [at Airbnb] until 7pm. I’d come home, eat dinner, and then I would work from 8pm to midnight. I would do that maybe 3-4 days a week on weekdays. And then on the weekend I’d work Sunday afternoon for 7-8 hours.”

Brian did this consistently for about a year and a half until Coinbase was far enough along for him to get seed funding from Y Combinator.

“It sucked. I mean I was tired after the full day of work [at Airbnb]. But this is where determination comes in… At that moment in time, I was in my late 20s, and I was like, ‘I really want to try to build something important in the world.’”

When asked how he maintained friendships during this time, Brian replies:

“I was pretty intense about it. I would say I sacrificed friendships for it. It’s not like I was just never responding to people, but I’ve seen this happen to various people. They get to a certain point in their life. Sometimes they turn a certain age where they thought they would have more done by then or maybe someone in their family passes away and they’re like, Oh my god, time is finite. It’s precious. And something happens where they’re like, ‘I’m going to get this done, no matter the cost.’”

Brian tells those out there who might be in a similar situation:

“Go hard at it. Finish your book. Launch your thing. Just start doing stuff - and even if you don’t know what to do, just do anything, because action will produce information and it’ll help you get to the right thing.”

@StartupArchive_ He definitely built Coinbase with Airbnb laptop on working hours.

i'm not satoshi, but I was early in laser focus on the positive societal implications of cryptography, online privacy and electronic cash, hence my ~1992 onwards active interest in applied research on ecash, privacy tech on cypherpunks list which led to hashcash and other ideas.
