@evfiend hey g

hit me if you're a g and you're still active

@evfiend i'm in

need some new blood in here need that 6th man spark

@GuiBibeau Would appreciate if you could check out @velapayio A programmable payment authority for every business powered by Arcium so the billing data is encrypted - our main focus is on private recurring payments velapay.io

Time for a last round of landing page reviews: Reply here if I have not covered you yet! I’ll do 20 from the list here

looks cool ngl

running @FactoryAI droid missions to build demo app for @velapayio using GLM-5.1 will share the results here

@defi_isaac @sahanamantha7 yep the less the better ppl should spend doing real thing instead of wasting time to create "well designed" personal website albeit with the rise of good LLMs this can be more justified over time

@sahanamantha7 The best personal website is always less about the design and more about the accolades A top-tier AI researcher that has a Google Docs looking personal website > well designed personal website with 1-2 internships

what is the best personal website you have seen?

but other than technical things - there was one thing i was (and am) really inexperienced in: designing the brand for the velapay decided to search for designers that could work on velapay branding - found one on local communities. can say i am satisfied with the work esp at this early stage

there was roughly 2 weeks gap between the frontier announcement and commencement so here's what I've done between those time frames: - deciding the name of the project - refining the scope of the app - brainstorming the targeted market and the app stack - start building the base of the app when the hackathon commenced, I've already got early start since the development protocol is like ~30-40% done

aight, will try to share the beginning of @velapayio from the very start before velapay, i am building a trustless omnichain escrow p2p platform on another chain but decided to stop since it's hard to cold start then the @colosseum announced their next hackathon; frontier

@themetalboyrick @colosseum @pactnetwork_io @SuperteamINDO just read about pinocchio - looks interesting. wondering if there's any tradeoffs than using normal solana-program? mebbe gonna take a look into it deeply and consider it for my program as well

day 19 of @colosseum hackathon for @pactnetwork_io refactored our devnet to pinocchio to save some SOL polishing the deck before blasting it for review buildstationing with @SuperteamINDO sealed some collabs!

@masaldaan @geetkhosla np hmu if you struggled to find the pdf

@_mynv @geetkhosla Thanks a ton

I'm looking for a course/tool that can teach me the core foundations of software engineering: how to build great software, specifically with the purpose of building with agentic engineering tooling. The goal isn't to learn how to write in Rust, Python, Ruby, or TypeScript, but to: 1. Understand systems architecture. 2. Understand what great software should look like, under the hood. 3. Learn how to set up a good codebase so we can nudge our agents and harnesses to do that. Also, when we eventually hit our skill level and bring in a senior technical person, they can help us in a much easier manner because it's not a total mess. Is anyone doing this? Does anyone know anyone who's doing this? cc @mitsuhiko @badlogicgames @mattpocockuk @rauchg @_lopopolo @ryancarson

@geetkhosla @masaldaan

back then before AI wasn't so good at coding these are few books that would help you pass senior level SWE technical interview: - the gold standard is Designing Data Intensive Application -> talks about databases, replication, partitioning, transactions, consistency - next one is Domain Driven Design -> rather than talk about the difficulties of software engineering, it discuss about understanding the problems you want to solve using software and helps you model the software to reflect the issue you want to solve - A Philosophy on Software Design -> talks about managing complexity in big software and how to obfuscate complexity through proper design - Clean Code / Code Complete the first rec is must read tho, can't recommend enough if you want to be better engineer; not a mere developer

@arihantbansal @adamdelphantom @velapayio to be more precise, *actually the mandate PDA has the authority for the subscriber account*

specific for the pull payments — it's a direct pull model it transfers directly from the subscriber's personal Token-2022 ATA -> merchant's ATA. hence the velapay mandate is the authority in this case rough flow: keeper init - pull approval validation - mandate PDA sign - transfer hook validates again. it's a belt-and-suspenders model to make sure it's more secure will create a specific post to explain more in detail, great question on the other side, do you mind checking my DM? i have gap i want to close but currently it's hard due to technological constraints, would really love to hear your opinion :)

somehow ended up judging colosseum’s frontier hackathon keen to see what people are building — go forth and shill me
