Decent talent is very rare in the market these days.
I was taking an interview today for a person who has 3 YOE. I asked the most basic question someone can ask - "Write a code to make an API call and if it falls then retry it for a maximum of 3 times".
Even for this the candidate took 15 minutes and still getting syntax errors.
This is also an outcome of using AI for everything and then not knowing the very basics. Just because you are using AI, doesn't mean that you can't make an API call.
And all this after the candidate claimed that he is not good at DSA but is good at development🤦🏻
"I don't have a GPU" is officially dead 🤯
You can now run 70B model on a single 4GB GPU and it even scales up to the colossal Llama 3.1 405B on just 8GB of VRAM.
AirLLM uses "Layer-wise Inference." Instead of loading the whole model, it loads, computes, and flushes one layer at a time
→ No quantization needed by default
→ Supports Llama, Qwen, and Mistral
→ Works on Linux, Windows, and macOS

A friend of mine earns $1.2M a year as an Anthropic engineer.
I asked him how he mastered prompting. His answer? A video that was never supposed to be public: Anthropic’s core team prompting playbook.
It’s hard to find a better 30-minute guide to getting more out of AI.
I watched it last night. Halfway through, I realized I’d been using Claude the wrong way for two years.
Watch it. Bookmark it.

Huge meeting with the Chinese Cabal at KTV (IYKYK)
They told me about a meme coin dropping in the next 7-12 days.
Will be heavily backed and should do big numbers 🤯
10.7 Marks Two Major Events for WLFI:🔥
⏰Early‑supporter vesting hits the 5‑month mark, while core executives take the main stage at Token2049 Singapore.
🔒Vesting & unlock schedule:
Early supporters: 2‑year lock‑up followed by 2‑year linear unlock; unlocking commences May 7, 2028.
Team & advisor allocation: 2‑year lock‑up plus 3‑year linear unlock, with 10% token burn.
🎤Speakers at the conference: Zach Witkoff, Zak Folkman, Eric Trump
Two sessions focused on stablecoin payments and the new narrative for America‑built finance.
Key areas to watch (personal speculation):👀
USD1 real‑world partnerships, OCC banking licence updates, compliance roadmap under the GENIUS Act.
Tokens bide their time, while products race against the clock. Waiting for news from the conference.

upcoming chains still pre mainnet to make money
1) @GIWA_by_Upbit
- upbit / dunamu eth l2 on the op stack, sepolia only, 1s blocks, gas in eth
- no chain token announced. fake mainnet already drained people
2) Maroo / @hashed_official
- hashed open finance l1 for the won. fees in okrw only, no separate gas token
- public testnet since may. compliance is in the protocol
3) @QMSNetwork
- post quantum l1. proof of useful work, evm execution, team still runs the miners
- v0.1 testnet is a preview and will wipe. no airdrop, no tokenomics
4) @flop_labs
- hayes / flop labs. inference settlement chain, substrate, gpus mine by doing the work
- testnet targeted q4 2026, about 90 days, mainnet q1 2027. genesis airdrop is the only one of these written down,
5) StableNet / @WemixNetwork
- wemade's krw stablecoin l1. fees in the stablecoin, no gas token
- testnet since jan 30. claims 3k tps and 1s finality. same freeze design as maroo, game studio instead of a fund
6) @BNBCHAIN agent l1
- new l1 next to bsc, not a replacement. hft and ai-agent execution, no public mempool
- testnet end of 2026, mainnet early 2027. still unnamed
imo giwa is the best, maroo and stablenet are the korea regulation trade, flop is the only one with an airdrop on paper
thoughts on Robinhood chain eco
ON A MACRO LEVEL
Robinhood chain didn't take off because it has superior tech
otherwise Optimism, Arbitrum (which RH chain is built on), etc would be among the top EVMs today
it took off because Robinhood is one of the world's most significant retail trading platforms, with tens of millions of users who are generally wealthier than the average CEX user cohort
crypto participants have also long considered Robinhood the cream of the crop for exchange listings
rumors of an incoming Robinhood listing have fueled some of the biggest memecoin/altcoin rallies in crypto history
Robinhood's role in the $DOGE + $SHIB mania of 2021 only cemented that status
now you have a Robinhood chain where people believe tokens launched there have a higher probability of eventually being listed on Robinhood
that's an extremely powerful flywheel
more devs launch on the chain
more users buy on the chain
more liquidity flows in
and i think people counting out Robinhood chain are going to find out just how powerful this narrative can be in a proper bull run
WHY THE RECENT WEAKNESS?
1. RH eco coins pumped giga hard
a lot of RH eco coins simply needed a cooldown
$PONS went from ~$30m to $960m+ in weeks before the bull run has even kicked off
a ~50% correction after that kind of move is completely normal and can set the stage for another explosive leg
same applies across the eco
2. Solana stepped up
the Robinhood retail distribution narrative was a major catalyst
but apathy and a lack of action from Solana for a while leading to the emergence of Robinhood chain also helped fuel the initial RH chain explosion
that has changed
Solana has stepped up and made it clear they remain a force to contend with this cycle
with liquidity still relatively constrained, that naturally diverted some flows away from Robinhood chain
but i don't think liquidity will stay constrained forever
soon there should be enough liquidity to accommodate serious activity on BOTH Robinhood chain and Solana
and of course BNB chain (i mean this goes without saying)
3. lack of follow through from Robinhood
this is probably the easiest problem to fix
if the biggest catalyst behind the chain was the Robinhood distribution channel, people will eventually lose interest if barely anything gets listed
Robinhood listing $CASHCAT so early was bullish and helped spark the second wave of activity on the chain
but they've listed almost nothing else from the ecosystem three months into launch
that's a bad signal
$PONS went from ~$30m to almost $1b, became a major driver of activity and at one point contributed ~50% of chain activity
it's perhaps the most successful new launche of the past year in all of crypto
yet it still hasn't been listed by Robinhood
same with $AI
it's the flagship token of Long, the second biggest launchpad on RH chain
it's also a top-tier memecoin that brought significant attention to the chain during its run to $350m+
i don't own $AI, but i'm surprised it isn't on Robinhood
from the outside, it's difficult to understand why $PONS and $AI haven't been listed yet
and i'm not claiming to know Robinhood's internal listing criteria or regulatory considerations
but the longer the biggest successes on the chain go without Robinhood distribution, the weaker the core ecosystem flywheel becomes
if devs and users stop believing that building on Robinhood chain gives them a meaningful distribution advantage, some of the chain's biggest differentiators disappear
and that's what contributed to momentum stalling alongside the other factors above
the good news?
this is the easiest problem to fix
and i'd actually love to see Robinhood throw something much lower cap and more degen into the mix
could be something like robinhood:0xe8ffd7e24187f72afb08d75b1bb13088a989a791 (the leading RH-native liquidity layer) or $BOW (the leading RH-native lending market) — could also be some other low cap, but i mentioned both since they have a strong narrative and justification, which likely attract even more builders/users to the chain
that would create speculation that ANYTHING could get listed
and that kind of uncertainty is exactly what fuels degeneracy
it is very clear that @vladtenev has been strategic and calculated in how he's leading the chain
he also has his ears on the ground and understands the trenches
so i'm not particularly concerned about #3 over a long enough timeframe
ABOUT THE HOOD SUMMIT
i've seen people say the HOOD Summit was bearish for Robinhood chain because the RH eco didn't massively pump during or after the event
i think that's missing the bigger picture
a lot of people expected the Summit to be a catalyst for the next leg up
that catalyst didn't come
but what happened next is more interesting
the RH eco held up
there was no major 'sell the news' dump
after an event with that much anticipation, that's significant
the important signal to me is that the eco absorbed the event without breaking down
that makes me think the recent weakness may have largely run its course
i think the next leg up across Robinhood chain comes soon
i don't know exactly when or what the catalyst will be
maybe some Vlad Tenev wizardry + Robinhood listings
maybe something completely unexpected
TO CONCLUDE...
a lot of people love Robinhood
and their team has made a lot of the right moves so far
they have a massive advantage through the Robinhood retail platform
and they can weaponize that distribution advantage to drive sustained activity on their chain
the Robinhood narrative only gets more powerful as the market and altcoins heat up
i think the biggest question now is simply how aggressively Robinhood chooses to capitalize on the ecosystem it has created
count out Robinhood chain at your own peril!
GIWA Morning Update | 30/09/2026
What matters today:
- GIWA mainnet is NOT live yet. The official team already confirmed that any “mainnet RPC”, bridge or contract circulating outside official sources should be treated as unofficial.
- Reports continue around fake networks using Chain ID 9134 to imitate GIWA. Only trust information from GIWA’s official website and docs.
- GIWA is at Korea Blockchain Week today, Sep 30 – Oct 1 in Seoul. Visitors can experience GIWA Wallet, DOJANG and BOJAGI at the booth.
- Current public network remains GIWA Sepolia testnet. GIWA Wallet and Ecosystem are still marked Coming Soon.
- GIWA is an OP Stack L2 powered by Upbit. Gas is paid in ETH and official docs currently show no separate native token.
For now, the main thing is simple: testnet is live, mainnet is not.
@GIWA_by_Upbit
I give my support to the $SUI community because I genuinely love being part of it.
And I believe that if you have $SUI in your heart, you should support the builders, projects, and communities growing on Sui.
Right now, some tokens are showing that the Sui trenches are coming back! : 🥶
$Zuk - Zuk
$Jean - @jeandeniyisui
$ONE - JustOneSui @Just1Sui
$Blast - Blast @Blastdotv2
$Manifest - Manifest @manifestsui
Here’s some $SUI trench alpha ⬇️
1. @blastdotfun: Make sure to sign up so you’re ready to blast when it launches. If you need an early access code, comment below
2. @perpsplexity: Stock/RWA backed coins. Still in early days. Checkout the main coin $ZUK, top holder is a co-founder of $SUI @EmanAbio and is currently at a marketcap of $230K
3. @SuiPump_SUMP. Still early days for these guys too but they have already had some strong projects launch and bond. Top coins bonded so far are @Suicatdotsui@Just1Sui and the most recent bonder @jeandeniyisui
This coming $SUI SZN will melt faces, get your dry powder ready 🪖💧
Mysten Labs CPO promises to 'reboot the trenches' on Sui.
@Mysten_Labs Chief Product Officer @EmanAbio has publicly promised the team will be "rebooting the trenches" on @SuiNetwork.
Presumably, he means to drive a resurgence in $SUI's DeFi and memecoin ecosystems, and vows to start with "some much needed cleanup".
Exactly what will be implemented is not yet clear.
