Anyone read this book? If so any opinions. Written by the guy behind the Spotify algorithm. https://www.amazon.com/Have-Heard-Your-Favourite-Song-ebook/dp/B0CJ141VFW

Building on a tight timeline, hiring engineers while customers bang down your door, is a reminder: AI won’t replace talented software engineers anytime soon. Technical products are like icebergs, what ships is just the tip, with a massive backlog hidden beneath. Thank goodness for Claude/ChatGPT.

This is a really great summary of where BlueSky is as platform. TLDR; seems still quite centralized and cumbersome to build on top of. One thing that’s interesting is that the CEO has a crypto background (worked at Zcash) and they raised money from a crypto vc (Blockchain capital).

For hiring and lead gen, farcaster is at parity with Twitter and massively outperforms both Linkedin (lol) and Bluesky. To be fair to 🦋, I’m still very early on in my journey with that platform. My handle is the same across all 3.

We may be living in the age of AGI but the rules of hooks always seems to trip up both Claude and ChatGPT.

Funny how working with Claude/ChatGPT often beats pairing with another software engineer. Sure, LLMs hallucinate but so do humans. Perfect reasoning isn’t needed for this to have a massive impact. Feels like we’re at the cutting edge of realizing that.

This aligns with my experience too, even though we don’t do takehomes. I encourage seed-stage companies to let candidates use LLMs in interviews. Their reasoning skills, quality bar, and editorial taste will still shine through—tools can’t replace the need for critical thinking. https://x.com/gergelyorosz/status/1858461249425572330?s=46&t=Bc9m1uknKGxrhqisx2EO2g

Surprisingly good commentary on AI by Ben Affleck of all people. I feel his comment applies just as much to software tools as it does to ones that impact the movie business. I.e better with humans https://x.com/joshconstine/status/1858231383925358603?s=46&t=Bc9m1uknKGxrhqisx2EO2g

Is their a way to track revenue for Solana wallets like Phantom? Curious how they are doing with all this meme coin action.

When I worked at Facebook, we thought of social media platforms as akin to TV channels, focused on capturing and retaining the attention of specific demographics. Each platform’s tone and content shaped its audience and defined its appeal. Twitter, over time, has evolved into the Fox News of social networks. Elon Musk’s rightward tilt has alienated many developers, pushing them to seek alternatives. The biggest winners of this migration appear to be Bluesky, which leans left, and Threads. This shift highlights a crucial point: social networks are defined by their editorial stance, which determines who they attract and who they repel. For Farcaster, the question is clear: what kind of editorial opinion will it adopt, and how will that shape the community it builds? Looking at various Dune dashboards related to farcaster, it seems clear that a beachhead needs to be established beyond people who are into crypto. What will that be?

Do you let candidates use AI in interviews? It changes the emphasis: how they guide the tool, get results quickly, and show good taste becomes key. These skills are hard to codify into a rubric, so how do you assess them? https://x.com/simonw/status/1857500323851677743?s=46&t=Bc9m1uknKGxrhqisx2EO2g

What better way to spend a Saturday than pair programming with my good friend Claude, fixing Datadog bills and sorting out database performance issues.
