Reasons I am bullish on this being good: 1. I "live vibecoded" onstage at ₿uilder SF last month and it was super fun 2. DK "live vibecoded" an iOS app on here recently and it was really good 3. Whenever I show someone vibecoding hands on with Replit ⠕ they go 🤯🤯🤯

Am reading Stefan Zweig’s The World of Yesterday Here he describes post-WWI Austria, suffering from hyperinflation: “Money had let us down; we sensed that what was eternal in us was all that would last.” Maybe money too should last, and not ever let us down, by design…?

The importance of branding is underrated in bitcoin IMO. While most of the world knows the bitcoin brand, the brand associations are not uniformly positive.. We have a lot of work to do on this front, and I think this will be one of the most impactful Design Week sessions

I've vibe coded almost a dozen weekend projects this year and with every single one, I've done something I've never tried before. Whether it's developing for a wholly new platform, using a completely new JavaScript framework, or accessing hardware APIs I have zero experience
