The MSP set at Glasto was pretty great

@krisos Thanks pals!

@james__hk Depends on what you want to BUIDL. If it’s web3 stuff specifically, started with JavaScript / typescript and solidity for smart contracts. If it’s more numerical / statistics focused applications, start with python. Main point: determine what you want to code first and work back.

WOAH

Hi Twitter friends Our 7 year old is getting into hip-hop and we kinda have to take care with his listening — too much Eminem, f-words etc. I'm not an expert so: What are GREAT hip-hop songs for a cool rockin young guy? Thanks 😎

First Two Pages of Frankenstein is out now. A special thanks to Sufjan Stevens, @phoebe_bridgers and @taylorswift13 for lending their talents, and to everyone else who helped bring it to life. ❤️

Asset mngrs are facing (1) increased market fragmentation, (2) increasingly complex regulation, and (3) an interconnected investment landscape competing with retreats from globalization. ft.com/content/a597e4…

I'm enjoying the journey, but I'm going 100% on vibes at this point. Not really sure what's going on...
