I'm seeing a lot of people FOMO quit their jobs to join "crypto", probably out of some over-romanticized view of what goes on in these projects. Let me illuminate you about what actually happens: 👇

"dont care if i get frontrun" Famous last words. At 11:02 UTC, this keen puzzle-solver in the The Greats by Wolfgang Beltracchi discord was frontrun while submitting their puzzle solution, losing a ~$27,000 prize in the process. This was avoidable.

if you @everyone more than once a day I will probably leave your server

For the past two weeks, I've been targeted in an extremely thorough social engineering scam that nearly cost me all of my ETH. I'm super lucky to have made it through unscathed. Here's the story 👇

1/ Proposal for safe validation of your NFTs, a 🧵 Today, in order to verify that you control an address or own an NFT, you typically sign a message to authenticate (e.g. editing your profile on OpenSea).

So, you saw the BAYC tweet about Warm and Delegate but have no idea where to start? We got you covered! 🧵👇

Yesterday I freaked out about the revelation that Ledger could spit out your private key with a firmware update. Yet I noticed the smartest people were not freaking out. Was I missing something? I spent the evening educating myself, and now I'm in the "nvm it's fine" camp.

Like seemingly everyone on this app I have plenty of opinions about Twitter > X and figure now is a good time to open up a bit about my experience at the company. I tweeted for years into the void for the love of it like many of you, but after selling my startup to Twitter in

Created a tiny agentic "framework" that gives e.g. Claude Code a structured workflow to track not only task state but also iterative changes to the design via multiple markdown documents. It’s just one concise text file used as context for the LLM: github.com/Soleone/agenti…

How should you approach complex changes to already complex software projects when using agentic coding tools such as Claude Code or Cursor? This thread is an attempt to clearly explain my best current approach to this problem...

A fun thing to do when you need to wait around for a few minutes is to use your phone to ask Claude Opus the following question about some random discipline or field: “What would you say is THE core insight or analytical trick of crystallography?” Replace crystallography with
