Forever Learning & Experimenting.

Funny how CT seems to have pivoted to agentic coding, and airdrop threadoors are now writing about how to use Claude Code. Tbh, it's a better use of their reach. Way more productive, even if not everyone is cut out for building stuff.


Vibe coding in the strict sense, is a trojan horse that will create the largest number of new software developers in history. You'll go from typing "build me a calendar app and make it nice", to learning about git, CLIs and IDEs, diffs, PRDs, and databases.


An incredibly interesting read.

Does anyone have good #podcast recs? Stuff that I could listen to while walking and actually learn cool or useful stuff from.

get more aggressive with the shit you want in life. stop playing shit safe and being so soft.


Vibe coding is a sneaky way to get people to learn basic software development principles. You go from saying "build me a nice web app for creating and sharing recipes" to learning about stuff like PRDs, versioning, and regression testing.


You can just learn things.

Bad idea. Trading fees should buying HYPE only. None of those DAO governance shenanigans that end up killing the main token.

HIP-5: Staker Governed Assistance Fund (AF-2) This HIP proposes allocating up to 5% of protocol trading fees to a new Assistance Fund (AF-2) governed directly by HYPE stakers. AF-2 extends the current buyback model (AF-1) by introducing real-time, on-chain voting that allows…

InfoFi is one of the worst things that happened to crypto. It accelerated the slopification of CT.

There's dark talent around the world, from the Midwest to the Middle East. Backing this talent is the right thing to do morally and the smart thing to do economically.

the amount of genius sitting untapped in people who were born in the wrong place at the wrong time is probably the biggest waste in human history undiscovered because opportunity isn't distributed by merit, but by geography + luck love this quote from @balajis on "dark talent"

Trained on human-generated content, exposed to countless hours of human interaction and behavioural patterns, taught to simulate human thinking and responses. It's no surprise that LLMs would act shady when there's an incentive.
