I cooked a three course dinner last night: - avocado and crab - chicken ballotine with a mushroom cream and parsley oil sauce, made with the bones of the chicken - poached pear with mascarpone

I’d say about 30-40% of the code I submit now is AI generated, and I’m trying to increase this Claude Code and Codegen have been game changers for velocity I can one-shot new integrations or semi complex features with the write prompts & context, substantially quicker than ever before

Just launched on Paragraph: support a post using any token, on any chain. Previously, you needed ETH on Base. Now? Pay however you'd like -- and receive coins in exchange. Less friction for readers. More earnings for writers.

I've built an AI-powered first responder for exceptions in our codebase. When Sentry logs an error, a new issue lands in our Linear triage queue. From there, a webhook auto-tags Codegen with a prompt to investigate & act: - Fixable? Propose a PR - Noisy or unactionable? Add to ignorelist - Duplicate? Link and close Codegen then updates the issue with findings, labels, other relevant issues, and resolution status -- no human touch required. AI is now our new frontline dev assistant.

In the Base app, quote casts should be coined using the original cast’s coin as the quote-pair If you drive distribution & attention back to the original cast, it should boost the original cast’s value

Some fun technical work today: spent the day debugging why the Paragraph API (Dockerized NodeJS server) was taking ~30s to cold-boot in our VMs. First used `node --prof` on boot and saw that 90% of the time was spent in musl, which handles file ops in Node Alpine. Then ran NODE_MODULE=debug and saw thousands of file opens from thousands of dependency resolutions. Rewrote a bit of the code to dynamically import several of the heavier deps to defer fileopens later, and that helped a bit Eliminated even more resolutions by bundling 95% of the deps into a single file using esbuild We were down to ~15s now; still not great. Next I ran strace on boot and saw that ~10 seconds was spent reading a ~100MB sourcemap file! Disabled sourcemap generation via esbuild (+ added sourcemap upload to a separate step in our CI instead), and that helped significantly. Down to about 3s after all that! Happy with the outcome. I realized the reason why R/W was a bottleneck in the first place is because the serverless host we're using, Fly.io, heavily limits IOPs and disk bandwidth... not great!

It's been one week since we began rolling out coins on Paragraph. Since then: - 400 coins were created - $40k of coin value is vesting to creators - we've paid out $7k in txn fees to creators - coins generated over $1.3m in trading volume With coins, we're beginning to get glimpses of what a new economic model for writers can look like -- a better way to earn off your ideas, without paywalling or ads. Very excited to continue building in this direction.

There's a lot I love about Farcaster, but something in particular that feels special is @bountybot. I casted about this micro task below and tagged @bountybot, then a couple days later @tubaecci comes along and delivers the completed request. Something magical about having a micro-economy of task-work built on top of a permissionless protocol. @linda @pirosb3

Love to see the early successes with coins on Paragraph. Good ideas should 1) be shared far & wide, and 2) convert this attention into value. Coins help accomplish both.

A huge congrats to everyone that worked tirelessly to ship the new Base app. I’m very excited for this new chapter in the onchain ecosystem. A major client on Farcaster means bigger distribution, more opportunities to earn, and a better chance at bringing even more people onchain.
