When building web3 protocols, we should hold ourselves to a higher bar than web2 platforms - otherwise we risk just recreating the same user-misaligned incentive systems that brought us here.

"Don't be evil" is not good enough.

"Can't be evil" should be the bar.

Web2 platform's classic S-curve playbook of attract-extract is the reason I'm building in web3 and trying to contribute to protocols that replace platforms.

Unfortunately due to little user traction there's a lot of compromises being made lately, with a "trust me later, bro" attitude which I think there needs to be some pushback on from people who are volunteering and contributing to growing something they think will be a public good

can’t be evil vs. don’t be evil is why my activity here has diminished 

@sheldrake has a brilliant way of articulating the premise of designing a system that can’t centralize.

the axes have spoken! sell!

I pseudo-randomly borrowed this book from the a16z /london office last year, hoping it would offer a new perspective on general game ideas 

oh boy, did I get more than I bargained for

halfway through it and running out of bookmarks

all these tariffs might move more liquidity into digital assets

how does the customer experience evolve if products move from “the customer is always right” to “data driven”?

one downside is the acceptance of a minority which will have a sub-par, or worse, locked-out experience.

If you see a cast with a "—" then it was written / translated with an AI. No one uses "—" — for sure.

thank you AI for fighting for the forgotten punctuation marks. 

if only ellipses were more popular…

CTOs potentially having cofee

“Don’t use power tools” because they take people’s jobs is not a winning strategy.

imagine rejecting the whole stack above machine code. 

Carmack’s critical thinking is scarce in the mainstream these days

tech: let’s build people friendly products

people: yes, please

tech:

I call it “negative space”, because it breeds creativity

idea dump: 

auto-generate AND run unit tests on one split screen in parallel to implementing the feature itself 

OR flip it around, in a sort of auto-TDD manner: write tests, bam, feature appears.

little did B know that being ironic is mild
