Was not getting any work done so I picked up my oldest from day camp and went to the beach. 🏖️

Likely outcome of crypto isn’t individuals being bankless, but next-gen banks. Next-gen banks will have everything trad banks have AND: * lower fees * higher range of services * better relationship with customers

Permissionlessly answering lounge questions: 2 techniques to avoid/manage ruts: - set an environment to minimize creative droughts - when in a rut, stop and immediately seek inspiration I find balancing consumption/creation helps me keep that creative environment. You can’t draw from an empty well. To seek inspiration- just do something you don’t/haven’t been doing. Take a walk. Try a new sport. Listen to new music. Whatever it is, just change it up because whatever you are doing isn’t working.

I’m probably in the minority here buuuut… Toxic X Engagement tactic: post a defensibly well-meaning but provocative question. Then when people answer in good faith, reply with extremely specific questions which attack the responder’s lack of nuance (which the medium does not allow). Why it’s toxic: it shifts the burden of proof from the person asking leading questions to the responders. It’s also exhausting and cuts down any meaningful conversation from good-faith respondents (the people who continue to engage are usually emotionally charged). This tactic works very well on X, and I see it being used here a bunch too. I don’t like it, though.

Our freedom's consuming itself. What we become is contrary to what we want. Take a bow.

On ep12: of Many Such Cases, @dwr.eth mentions they have been split testing the feed for 3 months "heuristic vs ML". ...does that mean peoples' shitty feeds were NOT a skill issue 😅? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1GiJrbutA0

"A year ago Toronto’s budget was a dumpster fire. Now the city’s running a surprise surplus. What happened?" What happened was Toronto elected a savvy, genuine public servant. I didn't vote for Olivia Chow last time, but I will certainly vote for her in the next election if she stands! https://archive.is/4eitM

Permissionlessly answering /lounge questions: Most people wouldn’t call me a designer because I can’t make things look pretty, but I believe a designer is anyone who puts the user experience above everything else (ie not just visual design). I started by taking up the “information architect” (aka the user advocate) at a consulting company - building wireframes for interaction design. At my first startup I took this even further, running user tests and figuring out the deep user need, the building it. I found this got me disproportionately good results, so I kept doing it - designing, implementing, gathering feedback, and reflecting before starting the cycle again. Design isn’t just for people with rose-coloured glasses and figma skills. It’s a vital skill for anyone who wishes to make products that users love.
