I was paying >$300/month for accounting software that couldn't send invoices reliably. So I built Zippato.

@blinklabs_io @happystaking Fantastic work!

Our first preview testnet block using Dingo has been accepted to the network. preview.cardanoscan.io/block/4119738

Sad to announce JNGL will be retiring on the next epoch, 620. It's been a fantastic journey and I've met many amazing people through the SPO community. Thank you to our delegators for the trust and support, and please consider re-delegating to one of the @AllianceXspo members 💚

@amw7 @RickMcCracken @Notwokenow

@RickMcCracken @Notwokenow I would seriously do this for free.

Nope. Tell y’all the truth, I got dizzy just watching this video. Just nope.

I know there is some overlap between open source and anti-AI activists, but I have a hard time reconciling it. My million+ open source LOC were always intended as a gift to the world. Yes, I would make arguments about how it would strengthen our communities, and the GPL would prevent outright exploitation by our competitors, but those were to allay fears of my partners to allow me to make the gift. AI training on the code magnifies the value of the gift. I am enthusiastic about it! Some people do look at open source as a tool for social change, career advancement, or reputation building, but those are all downstream of the gift.

Sending professional invoices to clients in seconds, right from your AI chatbot

Them: "Did you know X was broken in Jido? You should really fix that" Me: "How do you know I didn't leave it unfixed to let you find it, make it bother you and then nudge you into submitting a PR to support Jido and join our community" I love OSS

ok done, just under 24 hrs this time. Plutus VM in typescript acheived 🫡

Dingo treasury proposal is now live! Links in 🧵👇 Why this matters? Cardano needs node diversity for resilience. Dingo adds a Go implementation, broadening developer access while reducing risk. Where Dingo is today: - 1,226 commits - 205,500 lines added - 48 releases - boots from genesis and Mithril snapshots - 314/314 conformance tests passed - supports Plutus V1/V2/V3, with V4 work underway What this proposal funds over 12 months: - mainnet block-production readiness - Dijkstra + Leios delivery readiness - independent external security audit - operator docs and production hardening Funding request: 6,900,000 ADA (USD basis: $2.07M, full cost breakdown in the repo) Accountability: - milestone based disbursements - funds converted to stablecoin after disbursement - independent oversight board - public transaction journal - monthly and quarterly reporting - unused funds returned to treasury at expiration If you’re an SPO, DRep or builder, we’d value your review and questions.

BEAM is the correct virtual machine for agents, and Elixir and Gleam are the correct languages. The future is massively concurrent

@techczech There are still tools and services out there for free that people can use to get started but you prove my point here x.com/techczech/stat…

I think you underestimate how much stuff is still free both as in beer and as in speech. Sure, the tokens are not free but that's equivalent to the time you have. Even there, Antigravity and Google AI Studio are free to start and go for a while and Cloudflare takes a while before they charge you for workers or pages.

OpenAI built a cool agentic project using Elixir! 🔥 #ElixirLang

@mhmazur I think this is a skill worth exercising from time to time and I bet you learned a few things along the way.

I spent yesterday using Claude Code to build a replacement for a $29/month SaaS that I've been paying for. I have mixed feelings. On one hand, cool, I'm now saving $348/year. One the other hand, there were probably better things I could have spent that time on 🤷‍♂️.

@freiwaldDev Thanks. Same here and now it's essentially part of my dev setup.

@caike Great article. I never considered using a max subscription a few months ago…
