A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

day 10 of building in web3: recaptcha wars
today? i didn’t code. i didn’t design.
i cooked up ideas 🍳 and fought for my life in the captcha colosseum.
every site was like:
"click all traffic lights" 🚦
"select every tree" 🌳
"prove you’re human" 😵‍💫
drag this square. pick all things that can grow. prove you’re not a bot. 🧙‍♂️🤖🌱

bruh. i'm just tryna mint on a testnet, not unlock the gates of Mordor 🧌🪄

Google had me in a chokehold.
→ picked 9 bikes. still wrong.
→ selected 4 boats. “try again.”
→ clicked one hydrant. blocked for suspicious activity 💀

i’m out here building a dapp to bypass traditional phone verifications,
and yet i can’t bypass a sidewalk square.
web3 is supposed to be the future,
but today felt like web2 with trust issues.
if devs go to heaven, i hope there’s:
✅ no rate limits
✅ infinite faucet tokens
✅ and ZERO recaptchas

day 10. partially human. fully frustrated.
