I spoke with @fredwilson.eth and Brad Burnham for a special episode of the slow hunch - recorded in my living room over multiple mugs of tea.

In many ways @usv has been their collective slow hunch, and it's been a true privilege for me to be part of that journey with them, witnessing how they think, invest, and build an enduring venture capital firm.

Also, lots in this conversation about the relationship between platforms &  protocols, stemming all the way from our investment in Twitter and leading to our ongoing interest in bitcoin and crypto/decentralized systems, including Farcaster

ENJOY!

Great discussion. I've been following the writing of @fredwilson.eth for well over a decade.

@fredwilson.eth you mentioned a friend who created an app over a weekend without writing a single line of code. Do you know what she used?

Building MuseKat to help parents & kids make sense of the world through real-time audio stories with Miko

fractionally social on twitter, bluesky, & instagram

She's here on Farcaster. @bethanymarz can tell you exactly how she did it

This was back in January so it was ChatGPT (for prototyping idea) and Cursor (for executing). Got a little help getting it deployed on AWS.

Today I would instead use v0 for a quick prototype + deployment for any basic web app, then move into Cursor when ready for a v2. 

I strongly recommending using AI to work through your problem + target solution before jumping right into coding. This was my starter prompt to ChatGPT.

This is great, thanks Bethany. Really appreciate you sharing. I’m going to give this a try!
