i made a working app as a total beginner using claude sonnet & opus 4.6 3 tips when building yours: 1. ask your ai to interview YOU to form a PRD 2. ask your ai to build you a daily checklist 3. don't try and do it all in one sitting full pdf guide with my actual prompts below bookmark this🔖

It’s been a week of big news, and now it’s time for mine. Today is my last day at @base This was one of the hardest things to keep quiet. An era is ending, but the seeds we planted will keep growing. The Base community has never been about any one person or role. It is a living, evolving force. To @base team and @jessepollak: thank you for leading with heart and giving me a chance to be part of something meaningful. Supporting this incredible global community has been one of the most fulfilling chapters of my career. To @base community: this isn’t a goodbye. And you already know I can’t stop, won’t stop cheering you on. I’ll see y’all in the trenches. basemom hugs 💛

@0xAneri @coinbase @base I’m so grateful for everything you’ve done for the community and for me personally:) Can’t wait to see what you’ll be doing next!

After nearly 4 years, I've decided to move on from @coinbase and @base to explore something new. This was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made. I had the privilege of working with the most talented team I've ever been part of. People who genuinely care, play positive sum, and believe in our mission. If anyone ever has the chance to work with them, I'd recommend it in a heartbeat. I got to launch @base with Onchain Summer, travel the world from Kenya to Thailand to India to grow our builder and creator communities, and ship @baseapp from scratch, 0 to 1 work that meant wearing every hat needed for success from product to marketing to devrel to QA, and running through walls for bets I believed in. Through this I became a sharper builder and a better leader, and I'm SO insanely grateful for this chapter. Thank you to the incredible leaders I was lucky to work with including @jessepollak, @_johngranata, @chintanturakhia, @brian_armstrong, @maxbranzburg, @sid_coelho, and so many amazing teammates. Rooting for the team and Base builders and creators forever.💙

Why do you always have to do a “couple’s costume” for Halloween? Why can’t you both dress as the same character and see who wore it better?

@RAnSacks Yes maam 🫡

@alinaferry Next time you’re in the city we’ll go

Banya time.

@CryptoStatuette @baseapp Omg I’ve been there when I was at tge summer camp - such a fantastic place It was pre-digital cameras so the most glorious photos us, a group of teens, took were on those ancient public toilets

Turns out, you can take a girl OOO, but you can’t take the “onchain” out of the girl. Heading to the ancient city of Ephesus on Wednesday to expose kiddo to my archaeologist side. I plan to turn it into a video series covering gen z friendly archaeological facts on @baseapp i.e. group toilets instead of group chats, memes carved on marble, ancient brothel geo-location tags, and more. Stay tuned 👀

i can finally say it… you can TRADE from literally every tab on @baseapp home? trade feed? trade transact? trade finance? yes, trade recorded this on monday but didn’t even have time to post lol 👇👇👇

this day changed everything 
i didn’t even realize WHAT we had built — until today!!!!! people earned $300 in just 10 minutes of our chat by simply coining posts… 
other made $1k just by spotting the alpha early we’ve built an incredible instrument — a flywheel, a network, an app that will onboard a billion users 🟦

@lindaxie PREACH

I know this is blasphemy these days but not everything needs to be onchain. Unless it has substantial benefits over the centralized solution, putting everything onchain can create a much worse user experience and dilute the message why crypto is valuable

TBA = To Be Anything We built on open protocols so interoperability isn’t a feature, it’s the foundation.
