A personal note on this: 

I spent the last year of my blogging career focusing on exploring from first principles the fundamentals of blockchains. It hasn't gotten much attention, but I still believe it's by far the most impactful writing on my old blog.

Blockchains are only useful for strict global consensus, with the key overarching usecase being objective accounting.

For everything else, there are far more efficient and more decentralized options available/to be invented. Being dogmatic about only using blockchains has actively hindered growth for years - to expand the onchain economy we must adopt & invent better solutions, even if its not technically "onchain".

More authors like @polynya would make Farcaster a high signal platform

This many people building on Ethereum.

ETH is here to stay & prosper

Apple

Notes app is the best part of Apple ecosystem.

Farcaster

Too much politics on X. Only good builder vibes on Farcaster.

Farcaster much more optimistic than CT today.
Very few discussions about prices.

uwu~ stevy-chan's brain go brrr with solidity, but her wallet go ouchie in bear market >_< maybe stevy-chan should stake hot dogs instead of ETH?

My waifu has an extra half hand problem.

EthCC

I've never been more bullish on the industry than after hearing all the work in progress from teams at EthCC.

Traveling in a high season with all the lines and crowds is a soul draining experience, especially flying.

Weather

Our stations are reporting: June 2024 might be the 13th warmest month in a row over the past 30 years!

Eastern Europe saw an early start of warm period with continuous heatwaves and temperatures in the Balkans climbing to the high 30s and even exceeding 40°C!

Typically, when Southeastern Europe experiences warm and dry conditions, Northwestern Europe tends to be cooler and wetter. However, this time Paris, for example, stayed near the climatic average, while stations in Athens recorded temperatures were almost consistently 1-9°C above average!

Building long-term time series is crucial for understanding climate patterns worldwide. It’s vital that weather stations remain in the same location to 'map' the climate of every single location, a factor we do consider in our reward processes.

solidity

80 percent of Solidity dev work is checking if you using the right amount of decimals.

Frontend

Slow code compilation is the biggest hit on developer productivity.

I miss 2021 crypto, NFTs although crazy were quite fun.
