Founders

With the launch of openAI's codex it makes me think humans don’t scale horizontally. The new hiring calculus is cost of compute vs. cost of human. You can’t duplicate an engineer, but you can spawn 50 agents who think like them.

Who’s putting together Farcaster meetup - Jackson Hole?

I’d go!!!

Work life balance. The short answer is there is no work life balance. If you're running an early stage startup with a family the longer answer is you just have to prioritize what you wanna spend time with. So in my case, I do three, four, or five things. So the following things. First thing is I work.

Second thing is I spend time with my kids. Third thing is eat, sleep, and then occasionally I work out. I literally don't do anything else. I like my whole world is those five things. And yeah, occasionally might have one social thing here or there, but there is no weekly social calendar thinking about like hobbies or any of that other kind of stuff.

It's really focused in on work and family, and it's a face, right? Like I, I don't think this will be always like this. And I knew what I was signing up for. I'd been early at Coinbase, not a founder, but. Knew what an intense startup would be, and it's a choice, right? Not everyone has to do it, and that's fine.

Low hanging fruit but it’s what was on when I saw this post.

$78 Million Lost to ‘Laundering Loophole’ in Tether Freezing Method Since 2017
An AMLBot report claims that Tether’s multi-signature set up for freezing funds creates a “critical window” for illicit actors to exploit.

Just found a short cut to the beach from the mountain property.

Mountains and Beach! Going to be a great property.

Google maps hasn’t fully mapped out the more rural parts of Costa Rica so I’m leaning about more roads all the time.

Crypto: The Game

What’s Crypto: The Game?

Here’s a 10-day season condensed into 2 minutes

Twas a great SZN. 

Highlights were brick breaker, someone running to the pizza shop the get the secret password and the nail biter up to the last second for the winner of the season @ted

Think crypto as a dirty word is overblown

I'm met with "I know a little but would like to know more" and some semblance of a spark of genuine curiosity 

Just as often as I'm dismissed or met with disgust

I suppose it depends on your proximal community.

Out of a dozen conversations I have a week on crypto I would say all of them paints crypto out to be the bed guy. That’s here in central Austin, Tx though.

I received 6 USD... 5 from WC and 1 from @trej. Thank you

6 USD is approximately 120 MXN. Adding 2 USD and matching it with another 2 USD, repeated 4 times, plus a final 1 + 1 USD match, brings the total to 500 MXN.

In Mexico, a meal costs around 80 MXN, and fresh fruits and vegetables are about 50 MXN.

Let’s give it to someone.

(This was previously done with tips from @ted and @eriks, along with earlier WC rewards)

Part of the problem with Crypto is it naturally attracts people seeking 💵. Most of the world sees the 57 million daily active crypto users as thrill seeking, big win chasing, new shiny object wanting, gigachads. 

We can dilute those types out of crypto by sharing community wins like  @greygood is doing here. Talk less about your signals, new coin launches and spread the love to a community outside of the 37. 

Maybe, just maybe, that will change the image problem and allow for creative, intelligent, principled types to gather here at FC.
