i knew churn mattered more than growth early on for a company, but i hadn’t thought much about whether that was still true at scale or not

tough to balance the tension between making something useful for both power and casual users

@v any good write ups on how merkle manages the keys used for account recovery? any recommended KMS or other useful tools/providers?

this can go a step further which is:

even if it is obvious to other people, it’s still worth repeating because of how spaced repetition works for memory / embedding knowledge

layers and layers and layers of abstraction between us and the 1s and 0s. Every serious engineer should go through nand2tetris at one point in their life to appreciate the whole stack from atoms up

@dwr.eth what's the thought process behind having channel notifs separate from priority? i kind of hate having two different places to check. if channels are too noisy, people should just unfollow them?

https://x.com/exec_sum/status/1843681682546929874?s=46&t=XuLHNkc3r3886f75-2TfMw if Im being honest I think this is great / the potential here is huge. I always felt like actual ride sharing (“pools”) pre covid was a huge unlock and sophisticated algorithms with larger vehicles could’ve pushed it so much further. We’ll inevitably get there one day, but a little sad it hasn’t happened faster

@greg yoyo is there a rough timeline for being able to set/use ENS from L2s? (I vaguely recall seeing something about this a couple months ago but am not sure the right place to check-in -- also if I'm way off base and this isn't a ~Thing lmk)

why being active on socials is good long term despite being more distracting day-to-day

(ofc not all socials are created equal and information hygiene is still a Thing That Matters)

my new boost playbook is just casting out all of the unhinged things i would text, signal, discord, slack, email, or dm @abram over the 24h period

in the long run, the teams/products with the strongest customer relationships generally have the most pricing power. Apple users were willing to switch _phone carriers_ just to use the early iphone! https://x.com/0xjpb1/status/1843666514853146934

has merkle published any data on how boosts affect the network + individual? anecdotally, as an observer and boostee, i feel like it's been a v successful / prosocial experiment and i'm curious if there's any data to back that up

@w·
honestly something about recasting my friends while i'm boosted is even more enjoyable than casting. the social/team aspect to it i suppose -- it is better to serve than to be served etc etc

social media is the new mainstream media

it's no longer comparing headlines across n major publications but rather the trending narrative/discourse across n major platforms

are subreddits still the right mental model for channels or with the recent changes are they evolving in a different direction?
