@thedefiedge Worth a mention how Flying Tulip successful mitigated its rsETH exposure via multiple smart contract automations followed up by Team action.

Frozen Funds
$71M of the $293M stolen just got frozen by the Arbitrum Security Council.
One of the most positive developments in this whole situation.
The remaining $222M was laundered on Ethereum, and that trail's cold.

Arbitrum@arbitrum
The Arbitrum Security Council has taken emergency action to freeze the 30,766 ETH being held in the address on Arbitrum One that is connected to the KelpDAO exploit. The Security Council acted with input from law enforcement as to the exploiter’s identity, and, at all times, weighed its commitment to the security and integrity of the Arbitrum community without impacting any Arbitrum users or applications. After significant technical diligence and deliberation, the Security Council identified and executed a technical approach to move funds to safety without affecting any other chain state or Arbitrum users. As of April 20 11:26pm ET the funds have been successfully transferred to an intermediary frozen wallet. They are no longer accessible to the address that originally held the funds, and can only be moved by further action by Arbitrum governance, which will be coordinated with relevant parties.

The KelpDAO situation is moving fast.
$230M in bad debt
No resolution in sight
And everyone's blaming each other

AI is sycophantic by nature. If you assert something, it will tend to agree.
"...there aren't a lot of parallels. Am I right?"
AI will say: "Smart observation."
Instead, I've been forcing it to disagree with me.
"...there aren't a lot of parallels. Give me the steelman case against what I just said."
Produces much more useful feedback.

Orchids is rebranding to Bud: the first agent with a full computer.
Since our launch in September of last year, we’ve grown to well over 7 figures ARR in record time.
We’ve simultaneously come to realize that an agent that builds apps is just the first step in a future where an agent does the majority of human work.
Comment below to get early access or go to bud [dot] app.

@mattpocockuk Unclear if there is genuine feedback cycle with you the educator, especially with the class being async and presumably a large cohort. Having newbies together in teams isn't the same as putting questions in real-time and near real-time to the educator as material is covered

Folks who looked at my Claude Code cohort and didn't buy it:
What stopped you?
All feedback is a gift. The more brutal, the better.

@mattpocockuk Does your /improve-codebase-architecture skill tell us just how bad our codebase is architecturally before performing open heart surgery? I'm wondering about running such periodically (with a report stage first) and be able to see the drift between audits/improvements.

Has anyone made du, but for tokens?
I want to make a rule for my agent where if a file is more than 5K tokens, split it up.

This guy gets it
The AI Hype Train is just an excuse for me to teach you software fundamentals

@mattpocockuk great video, Matt! Will you be creating a deep module detailed skill that would be suitable for auditing -- and create a plan for changing -- an existing codebase that did not follow deep modules?
English
If you throw AI at a bad codebase, you're going to get worse results. Garbage in, garbage out.
And holding it together in your head will land you in cognitive debt.
But these problems have a 20-year old solution: deep modules.
Here's how:

@elonmusk @rocktstl @farzyness @LimitingThe We want you to also put us to the stars after Mars, Elon.

I always find a gobsmacking when people go after Elon for changing his mind.
This is a virtue, not a weakness.

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars. It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city. That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.

The sale is live on @impossible_ , and @CoinList. All tokens purchased are fully unlocked and become transferable as soon as sale concludes. The sale is 100% refundable at any time, including during the sale. You can manage your PUT option via flyingtulip.com/allocation/pos… Raised funds are deployed into Aave. You can view strategy details directly onchain or via dashboard; flyingtulip.com/allocation/das… You can trade PUT's already on the secondary marketplace; marketplace.flyingtulip.com - Next week supporter and intent whitelist rounds. - Week after, public round. Terms are the same across all rounds, 10c per FT. Fully Diluted Value (FDV) is 10bn FT at 10c per FT. If FT price is somehow below 10c per FT, you simply withdraw your investment at par. If users withdraw FT to sell, and somehow this is below 10c, the investment that was servicing the PUT is instead released and used to buy back tokens up to 10c. Circulating supply is the amount of tokens sold via sale. There are no other mechanisms for tokens to enter the market beyond this. Full sale details and official documentation are available here docs.flyingtulip.com/guides/sale-pr…

Giant pandas exhibit markedly lower digestive efficiency for their high-fiber bamboo diet compared to mammals from ancient herbivorous lineages, such as ruminants (e.g., cows, sheep, deer) and hindgut fermenters (e.g., horses, elephants, rabbits). This inefficiency arises because pandas retain a simple, carnivore-like digestive tract—short intestines, no enlarged fermentation chambers, and rapid food passage—despite their evolutionary shift to herbivory roughly 12 million years ago.
Studies show pandas achieve apparent dry matter digestibility of bamboo typically below 20-40% (often <20% for stems/culm), with energy digestibility ranging 9-35% on bamboo-only diets. They rely minimally on microbial cellulose breakdown, and gut transit time is short (8-12 hours), limiting fermentation.
In contrast, long-evolved herbivores have specialized adaptations optimized over tens of millions of years:
Ruminants use foregut fermentation in a multi-chambered stomach (rumen dominant), with rumination and retention times of 2-4 days, yielding dry matter digestibility of 50-80% for grasses/hays.
Hindgut fermenters feature enlarged cecum/colon for post-gastric fermentation, with transit 1-2 days and digestibility 40-60% for similar fibrous feeds—lower than ruminants for tough fibers but still far superior to pandas.
Pandas compensate by consuming massive volumes—up to 80 pounds (38 kg) of fresh bamboo daily—and selectively eating nutrient-richer shoots/leaves when available, while spending 10-16 hours feeding and much of the rest resting to conserve energy.

‘Life doesn’t work like that,’ says the guy citing an evolutionary dead-end descended from carnivores, still equipped with a carnivore gut, that has to eat 20kg of fibre a day to extract the nutritional value of a lettuce.

Stomach pH of around 1.5 btw Its a ridiculous argument. Life doesnt work like that

@mattpocockuk Is your experiment what you mentioned in the article regarding TDD Red-Green-Refactor? Or more TDD aggressive?
