Building loops for experimentation, alongside self-validation, and knowing exactly when to pull the human in, that's the real next frontier. Not replacing the human, but instead leveraging both sides for its value.

[Felipe Schmitt @schmittfelipe]

The cost of building a new product has never been lower and higher at the same time. While the cost of writing lines of code has decreased, the stakes of knowing what to build has skyrocketed.

"Loops are the future" hype is 100% accurate. They are the future, not the present.

[Felipe Schmitt @schmittfelipe]

The key shift is not from engineer to prompter, it's from Software Engineer to Product Engineer.

Understand what you are building, stay in the loop, that's the edge right now. Nice quick chat between @gregisenberg and @Rasmic on yt: https://t.co/RVE8cwazmU

[TIX @tixprotocol]

More than 100+ venues are already onchain using TIX. Now USDC is too.

We're excited to welcome André Geest (@anticustody), formerly of Gnosis/Safe, as Head of Protocol & Growth to support this as we continue to expand stablecoin settlement & payments across live events.

As a member of the @Circle Alliance, KYD Labs is embedding native USDC settlement on Solana into ticketing operations, covering:

- transaction and resale fees
- artist payouts
- venue financing

This is only the beginning: https://t.co/94V5G5mOQh

Most people HATE disagreements.

They fear confrontation, tension, and hurting others.

But the most successful people I know disagree often & disagree well.

Here's how they do it:

8 Common fallacies of Distributed Systems

[Sahil Lavingia @shl]

The secret to scaling: designers who code, engineers who design, marketers who write SQL, PMs who write copy, customer support folks who open PRs, leaders who do support.

The more skills overlap, the less people need to meet, the more gets shipped.

🚀 Ship early, get feedback, iterate! 💪🏼

This is where https://t.co/pHGSTHNCaI born. But we're not close to being done.

We want to enable people to collaborate and work from a thriving environment, whenever they needed to, without having to spend 3 hours driving to their HQ

You'll hear something from us soon...🚀

[Alexandre Portela dos Santos @ampsantos0]

Yesterday me, André Ramos and @schmittfelipe participated in an hackathon.

We made something we truly believe adds a lot of value to companies on the hybrid working model.

It's available at https://t.co/pHGSTHNCaI, as well as all our thought process

Make sure you build the product your customers want, not the product YOU want. That doesn't necessarily means that there are not overlaps. But at the end of the day the key driver, is your customer.

[Felipe Schmitt @schmittfelipe]

@ampsantos0 @Swizec I agree, https://t.co/hK9ZP1quDm is in fact quite good and works well for the work I've done so far. Not perfect for non-native speakers, but definetly a good step forward!
