I just launched a new personal website for the first time in decade. Take a peek if you have a moment and see if you can beat the high score at Tetris ;) https://simoncorry.com

Today marks the end of my journey advising in Web3. Common feedback I’ve heard from regular folks and investors is that the barrier to entry is too cumbersome. People don’t want to rally around privacy and transparency if it’s inconvenient. Blockchain has a future but it’s going to happen behind closed doors.

I’ve lived in 1 & 2 and currently reside in 3 so I’d have to go with 4.

Usually that works fine but today I had to close it 3 times before it loaded correctly. Not sure if that’s a big deal but thought I’d mention it.

Early stage UR can be useful if you’re solving problems inside of entrenched ecosystems. Generally speaking you’re not reinventing the wheel in those situations, you’re fixing very specific pain points. If you’re working blue sky it’s completely useless because you’re playing the artist more than the ‘pr

I’ve been using https://the-echoplex.net/flexyboxes/ for reference since 2012 😅. Adding gap was the recent game changer, avoids the need for those weird `flex: 0 1 calc(50% - 8px)` hacks.

Not sure if I stepped into that or if I opened up some more opportunities 😅 I was thinking you should hire someone like @meesh for backup.

Congrats 🎉 Would still love to hear more about how you’re handling design? A good PD will unlock some great UX upgrades and IMHO it should be baked into the leadership structure as early as possible.

Can’t believe this hasn’t improved in 6 years. I ended up getting friendly with the owner of the car I used most frequently and got a spare set of keys, but that’s hardly a scalable solution lol.

Dropping the platform speaks volumes as does supporting those targeted. He has shown how petulant he can be and how likely he is to react to provocation from any source (close or not). Acting like this is beyond anyone’s control is how you passively assist narcissists in their journey to becoming full blown tyrant

I would say this is more of misguided take than a hot take. Elon is not engaging in good faith or conducting himself in a way becoming of a CEO. We can should expect better of influential leaders whether we’re a ‘spectator’ or not.

Is there a way to blacklist words on FC? I removed all mention of Elon amongst others and it greatly improved my experience.
