MikeeBuilds ⛩️〰️🧱

building on abstract pt.5 so yeah… i thought i finally had it under control. backend was working. logic made sense. the agent was doing what i expected. not perfect, but good enough to feel real. i had that moment like “ok… this is it, now i just need to add frontend and connect everything”. sounds simple, right. it wasn’t. the moment i touched frontend and tried to wire it all together, everything started falling apart. things that worked before suddenly broke, responses didn’t match, state was inconsistent, ui behaved weird, and the agent… just confidently kept doing the wrong thing. and the worst part is that nothing was obviously broken. it was all just slightly off, everywhere. i spent hours trying to patch it, fix one thing, break another, go in circles. at some point i just sat there staring at the screen thinking “what am i even doing”. full tilt. closed everything and didn’t touch the project for a couple of days. not because i didn’t want to continue, but because i genuinely didn’t know how. and this is where something important happened. one of the guys from clawconcil, @MikeeBuilds, reached out and basically helped me see what i couldn’t see anymore. pointed out mistakes, explained where my logic was drifting, where i overcomplicated things, where i just misunderstood how parts should connect. we jumped on a long call and went through everything step by step. and honestly, that call changed everything. not because we magically fixed all bugs, but because we aligned on how the system should actually be built. what matters, what doesn’t, what to simplify, what to rebuild properly instead of patching forever. and at some point it just became obvious: i shouldn’t be trying to do everything alone. so we decided to build it together. i focus on what i’m actually good at — product thinking, marketing, design, how it should feel, how it should be positioned. and mikee focuses on making the system solid, clean, and actually work the way it’s supposed to. and suddenly the whole thing feels different. less chaos, less frustration, way more clarity. i think this is something people don’t talk about enough when it comes to building with agents. yes, agents give you leverage. yes, you can build way more than before. but it doesn’t mean you have to build alone. sometimes the biggest unlock is not a better prompt. it’s the right person at the right moment. anyway… back to building! btw, thx @HippieCollects for this awesome pic of us!

Native @mpp support is now live on Abstract. With this update, Agents can pay for services directly over HTTP using MPP, enabling seamless, onchain-native transactions. This positions Abstract as an agent-ready infrastructure backed by Stripe's merchant network. Learn more 👇
