If I was looking for a product design role, I would seriously consider this:

@abram and @w are hiring at @splits.
I watched the new HBO documentary on bitcoin last night.

No shade but it was very mediocre with too much history/context-setting for those familiar with crypto.
Exploring an idea...

Can you name a talented person you would financially support (e.g. $50/mo) to help them achieve their goals?

(bonus points for those that reply with the name)
I don't think I've shamelessly plugged my newsletter here yet. ;)

I found a creature.

Also, is that big foot?
FWB Fest was exactly what I expected. It was a good time.
Who will be at FWB Fest? I'm going.
Listening to a pre-release of @nateliason's new book, Crypto Confidential.

I have a feeling many of you will relate to this. 😵‍💫
Presail is hiring a senior product designer that knows a thing or two about crypto. Maybe this is the right place to ask. :)

It's a very luscious product space to explore. Will require strong system-level thinking. We're investors at Weekend Fund (twice).
I'm starting to get into bouldering. For the climbers:

Other than doing the thing, any YouTube channels or resources I should dive into to get better?
I figured it out: The optimal number of (caffeinated) cups of coffee is two per week.
Knowledge work is essentially figuring out which buttons to press in the correct order
Caught up with @linda today. I think I need to spend more time here.

Which channel should I be following?
Part of what makes Farcaster appealing is its lack of financialization relative to other crypto projects.

But the OG Farcaster NFT has a floor price of ~5 ETH. Am I missing an announcement or just airdrop rumors?
Farcaster OG NFTs are trading for over 2 ETH. Tempting. 🤔
What’s your favorite thing about Farcaster? Wrong answers only.
What are your most creative or useful ideas for Farcaster’s new frames?
Who's picking up a Yoda NFT?
For the Daimo users:

Why do you prefer Daimo for p2p payments over solutions (Rainbow wallet, Coinbase account, etc.)?

I have some assumptions but curious if it's more of a preference than a big leap in utility.
What's harder: Building rockets or a social network?
Who’s on Friend Tech? Thoughts?
We're about to see the rise of PWAs, particularly in crypto.

Feels like a vibe shift.
At Weekend Fund we have over 450 LPs organized in Airtable.

What's the best tool to merge this data source with an external LLM so we can ask questions like:

"Who worked at Stripe?"

"Who has data science experience?"

"Who invested more than $250K?"
Mission Impossible was fun but I'm a bit tired of the anti-AI narrative tbh
Thoughts on Threads and the fediverse*?

*I'm trying to say that with a straight face
