People love to argue over the one correct way to build software and it’s good to have these discussions so we can try different approaches and see which ones are best, but we’ve been building houses for much longer and there’s still no single one best way to build- it depends on so many factors like environment, access to resources and materials, aesthetics, duration the structure needs to last, etc.
I'm going to the altai mountains in mongolia this september
will be visiting with the kazakhs and seeing them hunt with eagles
includes a 2 day horse trek
will be sleeping in a ger for 13 nights
1 portable toilet and 1 make-shift shower for the group of ~20 people
i assume zero cell phone service
i literally could not be more excited about anything else in the world right now

List of projects I want to work on this week that require focus time.
- give my bot ability to reference the transcript of a specific episode in question, instead of trying to answer the question by searching across all transcripts
- create the gmfarcaster mashup video from the mini interviews at our brunch
- work on the gmfarcaster network media kit
- write my substack
- continue to learn how to build frames, add farcaster and onchain integrations

I woke up feeling stressed. For no particular reason.
Took a long walk in the woods. Took a pic of a stream running down a hill.
Feeling better now.
How are you doing today?

Very few meetings, very few distractions today, which means I can get back to coding. Today's work is refactoring. I'm working on all the deferred maintenance on my pipeline project which turns YouTube videos into a format an AI can interact with.
My only break will be going LIVE on GMFARCASTER at NOON ET with DWR and NOUNISHPROF.
Today is a good day.

In the future you won’t have to worry about how to off ramp. There will be lots of bridges but ramps will not need to exist. All money will be digital.
I didn’t start severance season 2 yet and this cast isn’t about the show (so no spoilers!), but more so the concept.
I would never sever different parts of my consciousness but innies and outies got me thinking about eastern philosophies and the general concept of detachment (which comes up a lot in Buddhism)
Over the years and through various practices (including childbirth and yoga) I’ve learned how to separate mental pain from physical pain.
Something like labor can be brutally painful, but you can train your mind to detach. The physical sensation remains, but the suffering does not. The pain is still there but it doesn’t hurt in the same way.
Once you learn detachment you can draw on it during challenging times to reduce suffering.
It’s like severance except it’s temporary and you’re in control.
Might sound woo woo, and I’m not saying it necessarily comes easily, but it’s a really good life skill to practice.
Namaste 🧘

Ok this is cool.
Reading my grandfathers WWII memoir and can cross reference his whereabouts with Wikipedia
He says he visited his old ship in San Francisco on July 18 1945 and sure enough the USS Colusa - APA 74 was there on those dates

Picked up an old notebook and found this inside:
What’s the point or purpose of community?
1) do amazing things, do hard things, that an individual can’t do
2) fills a need for belonging
Purpose of a company/org is the first, though it sometimes satisfies the second
Related:
- leadership/lpma
- devops/generative
I have zero recollection of the context or why I wrote this but I enjoyed revisiting it

We have a running joke on /gmfarcaster every time something launches that might leave someone out (social scores, top caster awards, OG NFTs, airdrops, starter packs etc) where I give a Stuart Smalley lecture and remind people their self worth doesn’t come from any of these silly status games.
We joke about it, we have a laugh, but I genuinely believe it 100%.
So when I see reminders about self worth, of course I recast them.
Your self worth comes from inside you and nothing external can take it away.

The certainty of quiet is never guaranteed to mothers but we manage to find a different way to get work done. True for a midwife in the late 1700s, true today.
Just started this book - The Frozen River- and it’s excellent so far.

Autonomy has been my North Star for the past decade.
Leading teams: “Reducing red tape and empowering my team members with more autonomy not only increased our team performance but our happiness as well.”
DevOps: “In a healthy DevOps environment, developers can write and ship code permissionlessly, with autonomy, because they know in advance all the requirements and rules they need to comply with because they are written into the automation.”
Farcaster: “Seeing developers build on top of the Farcaster protocol is mind blowing for someone who came from the corporate world of top-down decision making.”

I try to get my substack out twice a month to keep the writing habit activated. Just narrowly made it before next month starts 😮💨
I wrote about the intersection of crypto and AI, my grandfather’s memoirs, and a few GM Farcaster updates.
Shout outs to @july , @ilaz , @gregarious , @dylsteck.eth , @martin , @ccarella.eth
(not all by name but related content)
Happy Halloween!

I’ve been making clips of /gmfarcaster recently which requires me to spend hours listening to myself talk.
An observation:
Besides me saying UM a lot, I noticed I often stop a sentence half way thru, to make a different point, and then try to go back to the original sentence.
It makes the clips almost incoherent.
***
While writing my substack today I noticed how often I use parentheses in my writing.
And it occurred to me this is what’s probably happening while I speak.
***
Conclusion:
I am not so much an incoherent speaker (though that’s not inaccurate) as much as my brain is multi threaded and I’m acutely aware of it.
Anyone else experience this?

It’s been 4 weeks since a car ran over the back of my ankle and I’m happy to report I had no pain this week while walking and today was able to jog a bit with no pain. The surface wound is still healing and the site is still bruised and sore to touch but feeling extremely optimistic and grateful that there was no serious damage to the important parts that affect mobility.
Phil gets me. Glam + gardening 💅🏻 🥦
Just need to figure out how to turn this into a devops lesson 🤣🤣
