How can I make my social media impulse to open Farcaster instead of Twitter?

Happy new year, Farcaster 🎉

2025 is going to be a big one for Ethereum ✨

Job market is like online dating

Hiring is dating from woman's POV: a deluge of applicants to sift through looking for the diamond in the rough

Applying is dating from man's POV: putting yourself out there, getting ghosted, if lucky getting rejected, hoping for that 1st date

Working for the Superchain 🔴🔵🟡🟠🟢🟣

In apps, 80%+ of the difficulty is in figuring out which apps actually make sense to build. I think this is why a generalized pitch of "we need apps" gets applause from pragmatist types but ultimately leads to no action - if our vision for the world is "WE WANT STUFF HAPPENING ON OUR CHAIN!", that's very uninspiring.

Meanwhile, specific categories of apps are starting to do well! Lots of progress in zk identity and zk social, all kinds of interesting stuff in info finance. I think if we want more apps, a more definite-optimist approach where we talk about specific types of apps and what kind of world they will lead to will be much more effective.

As generative AI becomes more ubiquitous, less than amazing grammar, sentence structure, and vocabulary might be seen as a green flag in job applications and cover letters.

This may be a dead horse, but there needs to be a new protocol for tipping in the US. Leaving a tip based on the cost of your meal is not it, especially as pricing rise and waitstaff is doing less and less.

Summer of Protocols

Got the last packet of my protocol kit. Congrats @joshdavislight and @jenna for finishing strong on the most complex publishing project I’ve ever been part of.

HIgh five ✋ to @jenna on a job well done with the Protocol Kit. This project became infinitely easier due to her keen eye and impeccable work ethic.

I'm pretty sure that each platform had it's own poll...and voted for itself, with the exception of the Discord, who voted for Eth Magicians.

Interesting guide to networking protocols. Might need to be updated though...

I’m not sure there is a more devise subject matter than whether or not it is appropriate to recline your seat on an airplane.

What book is the greatest ode to a single protocol?

I’ll start us off: Marc Levinson’s “The Box” is the undisputed 🐐

Levinson attributes most of 20th century globalization to the protocol standard of shipping containers.

Bet y'all would have some great answers here...
