@readswithravi The Stranger by Albert Camus made me devour all the works by him.

Have you ever read a book by an author that was so good it made you want to read everything else they've written?

we as software engineers are becoming beholden to a handful of well funded corportations. while they are our "friends" now, that may change due to incentives. i'm very uncomfortable with that. i believe we need to band together as a community and create a public, free to use repository of real-world (coding) agent sessions/traces. I want small labs, startups, and tinkerers to have access to the same data the big folks currently gobble up from all of us. So we, as a community, can do what e.g. Cursor does below, and take back a little bit of control again. Who's with me? cursor.com/blog/real-time…

Pablo Picasso literally revealed the foundational key to all success:

@GurpriyaSidhu Should one recommend The Grand Inquisitor or not?

@Suhail @tcheee42 I hope this was meant as a personal memo. Otherwise it risks discouraging builders who are grinding for their users, by framing a shutdown as a matter of ‘higher calling’ rather than sharing the concrete lessons. Let's talk about what worked and what didn't. That's more useful.

@tcheee42 The memo: There are better things to pursue with our collective time than designing casual graphics. We ought to strive to work on more important things for humanity if we have the means and energy. I am unapologetic in how I will use my time here on Earth.

psa: officially a free agent tinkering around now; mostly excited by hardware/atoms over pure bits

Your first instinct should be to build it right. Make small, calculated compromises if needed (call it a debt, maybe?) It may be slow in the beginning but has similar compounding effects of a sound financial investment.

More often than not, an engineer's take on a popular view of product tend be thought as orthogonal and fringe and yet there are billion $ companies built on the 'unpopular view'. Says something.

@gakonst Key management has been a struggle, indexing infra slow and expensive (waiting to try cryo, though).

what are the challenges today towards building consumer crypto apps? UI libraries? key mgmt? indexing user actions? what should be easy that is hard today?
