I wanna be the one guy hand crafting furniture 100 years after its been industrialized

Maybe I'm just feeling controversial, but I don't understand what's wrong with retalitory tariffs.

What am I missing here? Are we actually not being "out tariffed"? Or is there a reason other countries should have higher tariffs than us?

I have zero expertise on this topic and see a lot of complaining but very little explaining. Could someone break down why the current approach is bad?

We see lots of guides about how to setup the perfect Linux or macOS development environment, but where are all those writing about Microsoft Windows dev environments?

Crypto is just a whole bunch of “if you use my thing I’ll use your thing”

Vibe coding is the technical equivalent of buying heavily processed foods without caring about their contents or longterm health impacts

Decentralization this, decentralization that

Brother, you use vercel

hello, i recently reset my following in an attempt to build a technical-only following feed. this is because many of my friends show up in the other feeds/channels already. maybe i’ll switch to subscription notifications later, but this seems to be the only way i can hopefully surface that content at the moment without being overshadowed by popularity.

i just want to clarify it has nothing to do with any individual, and i don’t mean to single anyone out or diminish their value to the network or as a person.

every day when i log in here, my hope is to learn something new and grow closer to being professionally successful. it’s an experiment.

How do I know WHO will like a cast when I buy amps? The who is obviously a lot more important than the how many in the WC algo

Streaks on @ponder now track the number of days you’ve voted in a row, similar to Duolingo. Before it tracked the number you got right in a row. 

No more pressure to only vote on easy ones.

I think they have enough features to build a proper mobile app now 👀

I've been neglecting the tevm tg group and now am too afraid to open it

Of the 18 or so people at Merkle, I think I know where 3/18 went to college.

College is helpful for career if:

1. You major in something with hard skills
2. In the US, you got to a school that gives you an initial professional network

But after your first or second job, most places just care about what you've done at the previous job (or built on your own).

Same for thirdweb, almost every engineer is a dropout

The amount of time I spend thinking deeply is directly proportional to the amount of time I spend outside

Amps is going to get a lot of hate but I think its a really cool concept. Paying for likes will happen regardless, better to create an open market for it now than try to police it until its dominated by bots

ngl, I scoffed at vibe coding but now I've got a horrible head cold and can't think straight so I guess its time to try this out

Give me a split keyboard and no meetings and I’ll write 30,000 LOC a week easily
