Best: speed, from idea to product is days to max a few weeks. There is no context switching and no meetings and PRs reviewed by AI, so i can be very productive Toughest: being social, it sometimes feels meaningless not collaborating or supporting other engineers.

Thank you @samuellhuber.eth for really encouraging me to do this AMA. I would have chickened out but it turned out to be a ton of fun! Samuel is the best ๐Ÿ†

she does a ton of things for me, here are some of the most impactful: - she's phenomenal at helping me prioritize, so I can dive into deep work. My focus is basically goldfish-level, and she keeps me on track with what matters most - she takes on copy changes, CSS tweaks, keeping FAQs and docs up to date, this avoids context switching. - she has a better pulse on the ecosystem, bugs, and customer needs than I do. She flags the most important items that need my attention

It's good, but not as good as TS. If I didn't have certain requirements that steered me to Python, I'd def have chosen TS

I'm a very practical person so most topics that I learned while building Bountycaster (Farcaster internals, AI bot, AI agent) start with small self-contained projects (usually up to five days) to derisk the tech and test ideas

Are you referring to the engineering side? or something else?

@linda recommended it to me in 2021 (or 2022, cannot recall) but I only took it seriously when we were looking for startup ideas

In 2016 at Money2020 in Vegas, someone gave me $10 in BTC. I was amazed that a "BTC account" is just a random number from 1 to (2^256)โˆ’1. That blew my mind and started my journey towards learning more. I started working in the space in 2019: - Worked at 0x Project in 2019 (aka Matcha) - Worked at Phantom in 2022

The biggest win has been seeing users connect and start collaborating together. People have connected for the work, and that work then evolved into a relationship Reminds me of a Guido Van Rossum (Python creator) quote: Come for the language, and stay for the community

I initially thought that a prompt market would have happened at some point. Example: "build me a ChatGPT prompt that does X" which the author can then fine-tune

I still get those! the main difference is all SSR comes from us-east-1 and not from the edge. Given our traffic patterns, there has been 0 need to move them to the edge. We still use Cloudflare CDN to cache static assets on the edge

Nope, we use Render.com Reason: - server cost doesn't scale with volume - little to no vendor lock in (we can move where we want) - can run any programming language and framework (we use Python) - we run long standing processes (like gRPC to listen to live Farcaster events). That is far more cost effective and possible outside of Serverless.

From June 2023 to September 2024, I relied on my own savings I don't have big exits and am pretty bad at memecoins so most of the funds used to survive are from saving every month when I worked at Phantom. I'm lucky to also have a wife that works in tech that also supports me. Starting in September, I began receiving a small salary to cover expenses, and things are looking up now

I love AI tools. I use Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT all the time. Bountycaster would take a lot more to build without these tools
