What’s the best vibe coding platform for building agents?

🎉Calling all NYC Builders!

I’m looking for volunteers for the annual CS Fair in NYC on April 2. This event brings 2k high school students and their teachers to a “science fair meets career fair” style event to inspire kids about jobs in tech

This year I’m producing a No-Code Builder Hub to show how anyone can build apps in this AI age. 

We’re looking for volunteers from companies to demo what they are building and individuals to guide students through prompt-based building on no-code platforms. 

More details here, DC me if you want to join!

Very cool opportunity to do something impactful (and hang with the awesome @bethanymarz!):

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

Degen

Are there any other good examples of headless brand community tokens similar to HIGHER?

There’s something ironic about the fact that the best way to bet long on Base right now is to buy an offchain stock

Clankers

is there a good primer on how clanker works? 

where does the liquidity pool come from? is it 100% fair launch? who pays the deployment fees and how?

Jon's rules for buying tokens (not financial advice):

For BTC, SOL, ETH: DCA regularly, never sell
For midcaps: buy if fundamentals are severely undervalued, sell if that changes
For shitcoins: buy @ <$10M FDV if novel/interesting/friend project, sell 50% every time it doubles

Consumer Crypto

What part of the cycle do we need to be in for a DAO to buy one of these

the funniest lasting legacy of having been on the ConstitutionDAO core team is that any time anything cool goes up for sale, someone DMs me and asks if we can buy it

what tokens outside of the top 100 by market cap do you plan to hold for at least the next 5 years?

I love peeking at a DAO forum and seeing a public, permissionless governance process just churning out coordination in a quiet little corner of the internet 

what are the best DAO governance forums out there?

This is the best podcast interview I've done about Cabin and network societies recently:

I was just appointed to the Citizen's Tax Oversight Committee in my local town

Local governments are basically just like DAOs! There’s public info and you can go online and get informed and participate!

Here's my interview for the role:

this week i worked on two big internal rewrites for /cabin. the goal was to move semi-broken semi-onchain features to working offchain versions

first, our stamps (which were Otterspace badges) got moved to be entries in our db

second, we now store images in Cloudflare rather than IPFS

An unfortunate reality: 

many of the onchain features we’ve had relied on unreliable, defunct, and/or unusable protocols, so we’ve had to migrate to offchain versions

I am so proud of the incredible work being done by neighborhood stewards across the world as part of Cabin's Neighborhood Accelerator. 

Here are some of their stories:

If I want to make a dumb token to send to my friends for no real reason, what’s the simplest stupidest fastest most basic way to create one?

One of the big unrealized predictions for crypto networks has been peer-to-peer rideshare & delivery

The incumbents (Uber, Lyft, Doordash, Instacart, etc) have strong supply-demand liquidity and brand advantages

Is there a way token networks could overcome this?
