🥑 Developer & Agentic Experience at Chainlink Labs ⏮️ Formerly at Facebook and Fidelity Investments 👀 Views are my own

This is the way

[Aaron Francis @aarondfrancis]

When someone announces that they've learned something new I'd encourage you to say "that's great!" instead of "I already knew that."

I think you'll be happier that way!

It's also nice to encourage people to share what they're learning instead of shaming them for not knowing.

Just when speech-to-text is starting to get its hooks in me... this shows up in my feed

Am I just paranoid?

This is exactly why I now have a tiny home-lab. VPS is the next step if I need more.

Then there's the security side. My main laptop got a wipe and is going to stay agent free.

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

I am increasingly annoyed by agents running locally, launching stuff (browser windows, apps etc) while I'm trying to work, interfering with my own desktop

This stuff needs to live either in a VM, or probably the cloud. I want to kick it off and not distract me!

[Richard aka THΞ RG @thergdev]

Better than the endless scroll...

A good way to audit your AI setup is to try spending the whole day working only in Codex/Claude Code

Whenever you reach for a browser or another app, write it down - that's a missing connector you can setup later

[Richard aka THΞ RG @thergdev]

A lot of "prompt engineering" was dealing with model limitations. Those are disappearing.

Anthropic cut 80% of Claude Code's system prompt.

Rules → Judgment
Examples → Interface Design
Everything Upfront → Progressive Disclosure

DevRel's take note. Videos that are just Code + Voice is solved by AI. Just ask @andrej_dev if you don't believe me. Telling a story that educates your audience is the future of our role, at least IMO. Time to beef up those B-Roll skills.

[Dreams of Code @dreamsofcode_io]

This scene is one of my biggest inspirations for recent YouTube videos.

David Fincher is one of the few (if not only) directors to have made a coding scene feel genuinely cinematic and entertaining.

@CleanShot Looking forward to trying this out. I can't count the number of screenshots I've put in guides with @CleanShot. Quality screen recording too.. Let's Go!

[Richard aka THΞ RG @thergdev]

@typecraft_dev "AI can't replace my voice" <-- THIS!

AI has increased the value of individuals voice. It's a huge benefit and speeds things up but that thing that makes us uniquely human still exists.

[Richard aka THΞ RG @thergdev]

In a discussion with a “grey beard” about AI software. They posed an interesting question:

@dhh, you daily-drive an OS powered and built by AI. Would you jump into a race car assembled, tested, checked, and signed off by AI? Or would that still require a human in the loop?

[Richard aka THΞ RG @thergdev]

Jumped into @OmarchyLinux last week and something about the simplicity of customizing Linux with AI built in just clicked. Loving the new life breathed into my old gaming laptop.

[Richard aka THΞ RG @thergdev]

Ever wonder how your tokens and data can move across blockchains?

Enter CCIP: It's a game-chainger.

In this short video, I'll show you everything you need to know about CCIP, from Router Contracts to the Risk Management Network.

Check it out, and let me know what you think!

OCR3 white paper is now available! If you are curious to understand on a deeper level how all of the incredible Chainlink advancements like CRE, Multistream, and CCIP 1.6 were made possible, take a look at this thread, and/or the whitepaper itself!

[Chainlink @chainlink]

We’re excited to announce Chainlink Payment Abstraction is officially live on mainnet, enabling user fees to be converted into LINK.

Network fees generated from Chainlink SVR—including @aave's usage of SVR—will now be converted to LINK.

Day 2 with @thedavedev incoming!

Ready to hook more folks on blockchain!

Feeling that FOMO? Catch our online workshop next month. Link below! 👇

[Dave Isbitski @thedavedev]

Amazing time tonight in NYC with @thergdev teaching folks how to become blockchain developers and @chainlink certified! Looking forward to day 2 tomorrow! 🎉🔥🔥🥳 #Web3 #Chainlink #Blockchain

[Richard aka THΞ RG @thergdev]

@cmgriffing @jamesqquick +1 this method has worked for me. Only catch is make sure you give enough time for whatever you are showing on screen to keep up with the voice.

[Richard aka THΞ RG @thergdev]

@panditdhamdhere Solid advice, I’d apply it to all of life!

Stay curious
