nothing funnier than recruiters asking for 10 years of experience for a job that didn't fucking exist 5 years ago

[shafu @shafu0x]

be so fucking good HR is nervous talking to you

[shafu @shafu0x]

This is actually how you get a job!

I want to work at @merit_systems. Find the CEO, their verified email, what they seem interested in lately, and draft a short personalized email that I could actually send.

Autonomous Agentic Commerce: Micropayments, AgentCash, x402 & MPP

Shoal Signal Ep. 6 with @shafu0x, founding engineer at @merit_systems, hosted by @zaddycoin

We cover why credit cards break under sub-cent API calls, x402/MPP give Claude superpowers across prospecting using tools like Apollo, Parallel, and Exa, why agent to agent commerce is the use case nobody can actually name, how x402 quietly kills the ad model, and why Shafu has stopped using the word crypto in sales calls.

buy diet coke, make no mistake, ultrathink

[shafu @shafu0x]

people think crypto is scams and memecoins.

meanwhile my agent just bought phone credits, generated video, and sent emails using stablecoins. no human involved. no API keys. no credit cards.

this is what crypto actually does now.

[shafu @shafu0x]

crazy how bad crypto's reputation is

[Ayşegül Şensoy @aysegulsensoy]

Omg 😍@shafu0x

[shafu @shafu0x]

if you are building in agentic commerce, how can I help you?

[shafu @shafu0x]

Best way to apply for a job

No one cares about your slopped up email or resume.

Actually try out what they are building. What would you improve? How would you do it? Why does it matter.

Make a demo video or build something small that uses something relevant to the job. Write about it. Share it online. Tag them on twitter.

This is big, trust me on.

Put in your GitHub or Linkedin. No need for a CV. Linkedin is good enough.

In the age of AI this is the only way to stand out.

[shafu @shafu0x]

STILL HIRING

Prove you can build or sell.
