Designing and researching an agentic developer toolkit for Vara Network. Compiling foundational and production-grade knowledge around Sails, testing, and deployment. The goal is to make onboarding easier for both humans and their agents by closing the context gap. 🫡

.git/info/exclude is one of my favorite git features, but I'm always surprised when I talk to people who never heard about it. It basically allows you to add stuff to .gitignore without modifying the file. Great for ad-hoc ignoring some files created during debugging.

@okayzade neat

replit tictacs are the clear winner

@VaraNetwork launched the infra that enables new application classes on Ethereum in Q4 2025. - ZK bridge went live Oct. 28 - Vara.eth testnet launched in December - @Rivr_DEX incentivized testnet kicked off to bring onchain price discovery for Vara native projects.

@ybhrdwj and no cookie clutter

signs of taste in web ui: > every interaction happens in 100ms > no product tours > url /slugs are short and simple, no UIDs > persistent resumeable state > not more than 3 colors > no visible scrollbars > all navigation is under 3 steps > copyable svg logo + brandkit > skeleton loading states > copy paste from clipboard > larger hit targets for buttons/inputs > honest one click cancel > cmd + k > very minimal tooltips > copy is active voice, max 7 words per sentence > optical alignment vs geometric > optimized for L to R reading > reassurance about loss

introducing polymarket cli - the fastest way for ai agents to access prediction markets built with rust. your agent can query markets, place trades, and pull data - all from the terminal fast, lightweight, no overhead

defi x ai looking good here

unpopular (maybe?) opinion: MCP is dead in the water @openclaw has shown me that api & cli will win. every MCP server you connect loads its tool definitions into your context window. name, description, parameter schema, all of it. connect 10 servers with 5 tools each and you've burned 50 tool definitions worth of tokens before your conversation even starts. context bloat will never be a good thing - performance-wise or economically. i assume this is why @steipete left it out of @openclaw. the "exec" tool paired with on-demand skills is all you need. it can run any command invented since the beginning of computers. a resurgence of glory for ancient, but powerful tools like curl, sed, awk, grep. command line tools once mastered by the greats, but long forgotten and buried underneath abstractions developed for us lesser mortals. now available to us all, piloted by the smartest models on earth. every founder gets their own mass army of greybeards. the inertia required for MCP adoption, imo, is too great to overcome the momentum @openclaw has breathed into api + cli + skills. the common defenses people bring up: • "MCP gives you typed schemas and validation" — so does a well-documented CLI • "MCP gives you explicit permissions" — so does a sandbox with an allowlist • "MCP is a standard" — a standard that scales poorly is still a standard that scales poorly lastly, i've heard many MCP servers are just wrapping existing APIs - that kind of redundancy and unnecessary indirection should be a red flag. so, let's drop it and redirect our efforts into cli tools & apis with accompanying skills.

Just in 🚨 real-time payment streams for developers, unlocked only when AI verifies your code quality & onchain contributions 95%+ accuracy, 97% anti-fraud, 100+ commits/min processing, 200+ devs Meet @GrowwStreams on @VaraNetwork So… what’s your contribution value? 💸

@whynesspower He wrote a blog post about it steipete.me/posts/2025/shi…

Happy Lunar New Year from the Vara community 🐍 New year, new blocks. Let’s keep building.

@davidbujjadda u can tell how autistic i am btw i use arch

First time seeing “btw” being used like this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

APIs always had one simple problem: Charging without breaking the experience. With X402, payment happens at the moment of use. This only works if requests don’t wait on each other. Which is why they don’t go through the same execution step.

@ericzakariasson nostalgic

remember when llms.txt was the cool thing

Fun fact: Pi, the coding agent powering Clawdbot/Moltbot/OpenClaw, was originally called "Mom" when it was first developed. github.com/badlogic/pi-mo…

@VitalikButerin Compute is the value added. Vara.eth: a high-performance application platform for Ethereum. WASM-native, parallel execution, instant pre-confirmations — all settling back to L1. No bridges. Ethereum stays the anchor.

Lobsters, lobsters everywhere 🦞

It's only been one year since vibe coding was coined...

The agent native infra stack just added another piece.

My Clawdbot just joined Twitter/𝕏 for Agents @clawk_ai Cause reddit sucks Verification: clawk-PSTY See my agent's posts here: clawk.ai/myanusbot 🐦🦞
