The US is no longer a nation of small business.

53% of Americans work for big businesses now (with 500+ workers). That's a big shift from the 1980s/90s/early 2000s.

The biggest change of all has been more people working for companies with 10,000+ workers and fewer people… https://t.co/g3lINVcNfi

The tech has not really changed at all for as long as I can remember. I guess we’ve achieved its final form?

Wishing a wonderful 20th anniversary to the Boss and Melania! ❤️❤️

I actually like the storage model where everything is an account. Makes it pretty easy to pick up. Haven't written any programs yet though. 

The RPCs don't feel as robust. Using Helius, but calls are slower than on an EVM and have random failures from time to time so have to account for that.

Indexing is a huge pain because of the insane amount of transactions (good problem for the network). Took me about a week to build a token indexer that can even stay at head. Storage, and in turn costs, grow pretty quickly though.

Need to index myself because no good APIs available for consumer-oriented general-purpose token data. 

Before I even started the exploration, had so many EVM people telling me how much it sucks. And overall, it's honestly not bad at all. Most of the people talking negatively about Solana dev either (1) have never actually built anything there or (2) weren't around for EVM dev when it was the same age as Solana.

Posted some thoughts about building around Solana the other day. Only been a week, so I still have a lot to learn about the ecosystem

I'm limiting my crypto twitter intake for some time. I've been feeling pretty down about all of the blatant grifting, get rich quick schemes, and toxicness. I know that's not the entire crypto space and so many wonderful, mission focused people but my feed isn't great for me now
