"You can be successful in two ways -- you can be successful by doing the right thing, or doing things right."

Meaning you don't have to catch lightning in a bottle right away, you can execute well and iterate until you find market fit

Great watch
I miss explicit component lifecycle methods in React like `componentDidMount`

Felt far easier to reason about than 15 `useEffect` functions littered in the component where you have to inspect the dependency array to know what's going on

Am I just being redacted / is there a better approach here?
Finally got around to putting this one on and it is pure fuel
It's not big because it's an unexpected technical breakthrough

It's big because it's fun and lets ppl easily create content and share with friends -- reminds me a lot of Bitmojis which was acquired by Snapchat

This is also why the "hello, HR?" meme applies to Google Gemini but not Ghiblification (one is fun)
The larger takeaway here is that, lacking a proper conversion funnel, most crypto projects play the social and/or token attention game

Marketers are expected to be in endless hot pursuit of the latest narrative / meta — which sets even the best marketer up for failure

This is also why there’s so much founder-led marketing
Interesting that Bluesky considers many of the architecture decisions FC makes (creating a wallet, paying for account creation, etc.) as non-starters for protocol design

We recently migrated from Height to Linear because of the sad news that Height will be shutting down

As a Linear newbie, would love some pro tips to become more effective with it -- anyone have recommendations on how to use it well?
One thing I appreciate about @dwr.eth and Merkle is the lack of sentimentalism

The north star is growth, and the team will embrace whatever it needs to (in this case, tokens and airdrops) to achieve the goal

It doesn't always feel cozy, but if I'm building on a platform, I don't care about cozy -- I want customers
So much smarter to align your new year with the vernal equinox than the winter solstice

Happy belated Nowruz!
I sometimes self-indulge by being a critic, because right action takes time and it helps to pass time by poking fun of wrong action

This is doubly detrimental:
1. you become negative
2. charlatans use the negativity to assail the "necessary function" of the critic

You must be a discriminating critic if you choose to be one
This week, I’m going to get dopamine hijacked for $5

The fastest and simplest way to see reality more clearly is to spend a weekend outdoors without information technology

(At least for me)
Firmly believe that cars peaked in the early 2000's

Now, you're just buying a surveillance device with a bunch of unnecessary gadgets built in ("wow everything's computer")

And longevity is likely to be worse -- I doubt any of these bargain bin EVs will last 20-30 years
FYI — if you’re experiencing regressions with Claude around it “digging” too much, it could be due to Sonnet 3.7

Try reverting to 3.5 or adding rules to prevent this — @royalaid.eth any advice on how to do the latter?

Does anyone else feel like Cursor Agent mode is a regression from Composer?

I feel like I had a lot more control over Composer and the steps felt more “atomic”. Whereas Agent mode doesn’t know when to stop and keeps digging even after it does the intended ask (like the meme below)

I could also be using Agent wrong 🤷

“As the context window overflows and the model degrades, it will fail to even format MCP calls correctly and upon reaching this point of no return, produces a log that comes across as being tortured. Like a robot losing a limb, it will try and try again to walk only to fall down until the editor pauses the conversation”

Between this and the Morpho round last year, something tells me that Ribbit is going to be well positioned in the deployment period of crypto

Congrats to @henri @segall and the rest of the Privy team!
There is something deeply captivating about censorship-resistant systems and rulesets that transcend any given set of people in power

I hope that in the coming years, more projects lean into the cypherpunk ethos and that Ethereum becomes a beacon again for the movement
Smol bug -- warplet notifications on web have plus icon rather than wallet icon. It goes away when you hover on it

Also was gonna tag @pirosb3 here, but seems like he doesn't exist anymore? Where did you go @!12152
Last rambling thought -- beauty may be the antidote

In a way, it is the opposite of thought. It is felt, not conceived. It lacks quantity but is pure quality. And it emanates from the heart rather than the mind
