gm folks, I'm exploring new product engineering roles.
Been building in crypto for 3+ years rust programs to full-stack apps.
Excited to join a team shipping impactful products.
appreciate any leads 🙂
What do they got?
A big team, lots of money, a strong brand, seemingly unlimited resources, panache, reputation, all that. They’re established.
They’re your competitors.
You want to look away, but you see them everywhere. Their ads on your social, their name in the media, your dream clients on their website.
But you know what else they got?
Bigger company bloat. Overflowing obligations. Narratives to uphold. Appearances to maintain. Entitlement. Too much overhead.
They’re slow. They’re conservative. They talk too much. They’ve stopped taking risks. They’re resting on their laurels, gliding on their reputation. They’re on defense.
What they’ve really got is a lot to lose.
What do you got?
Hunger. Drive. Grit. Scrappiness. Independence. You’re on offense.
You don’t have enough, which is why you’re dangerous. You have no choice but to be clever and creative. To make up for what you don’t have with something they can’t have: The underdog spirit.
You can move. You can adjust. You can adapt. You can get it done while they’re still stuck deciding what to do.
Small is not a stepping stone. Small is not less than. It’s greater than. It’s faster than. It’s better than.
Savor your position. You don’t get to be the underdog forever. The baton will be passed. But for now, it’s your magic wand. Use it.
We stand with the underdogs.
You can now build onchain subscription & budgeting products on @solana:
- Give an AI agent budget and let it spend freely within your constraints
- Tiered subscription billing
- Recurring payroll
Feature parity with tradfi payment models is here for stablecoins.
Who will build onchain Gusto or Ramp or Stripe?
23.5 hours later... there's an app and it's open source.
It tracks activities & sleep. It has full sensor support: HR, SpO2, HRV, Temperature, Motion, etc.

New patch release: @pratikbuilds/[email protected]
This release preserves instruction account order when optional accounts are present and correctly handles both programId and "omitted" optional account strategies in generated Solana web3 instruction builders.
Huge thanks to @8bitpenis for contributing this.
Horrible take.
“Solana” is a blockchain. It doesn’t do anything except exist.
Anza is focused on IBRL.
The Ecosystem is focused on everything else, not “Solana”.
I realize the polygon community no longer exists, but our ecosystem does everything. Solana just enables it.
