devrel travel looks glamorous from the outside, you see pics like this and think “damn, nice life” but here’s the thing, this job requires you to talk. a lot. workshops, talks, twitter spaces, 1:1s with devs, answering the same questions with the same energy every single time and it only works if you genuinely love it. like actually love explaining how things work to people because if you don’t, you’re just performing enthusiasm for a paycheck. and developers can smell that from a mile away the perks are real. the views are beautiful. but so is the energy it takes to stay “on” when you’re exhausted as uncle ben once told my friend spiderman - with great power comes great responsibility this has to be a passion. otherwise you’re just working to work.

@clairekart metaverse is the best example. zuckerberg announced it like it was the internet. nobody showed up.

@AayushStack Meta does have a tendency to announce very single thing and make a huge deal

serious question - meta has had so many pivots and crashouts google has all their 'moonshot' nonsense like ppl trying to build giant, frictionless pneumatic tubes to replace public transport has stripe ever had any huge misses? square (block)? feels like the fintechs are batting 100%

@naruto11eth @tempo @mpp onboarding an oracle pm at an airport is a better demo than most conference talks tbh

something cool happened at the airport: > was at the airport working on some errors on my @tempo + @mpp hackathon project > guy next to me was an Oracle PM or smthng > he asked what im coding, so i told him about tempo + mpp + stablecoins and demoed him mpp from my wallet > his mind was blown 🤯 > onboarded a random guy at the airport to tempo lol not even making it up at this point

@chainyoda hyperliquid giving crypto natives access to oil futures was always going to end exactly like this the leverage was free. the geopolitics was not.

Congrats to all the crypto bros getting liquidated on Oil on Hyperliquid

the tradeoff is always liquidity vs sovereignty. cosmos chains win on execution optimization, lose on shared liquidity. ethereum rollups win on capital density, lose on customization hyperliquid didn't win because cosmos. it won because the team was obsessive. the architecture enabled it but didn't cause it

Cosmos architecture has been overall more successful than Ethereum’s rollup centric roadmap. Hyperliquid, Tempo, Canton, Polygon and Bittensor ( the last Mohicans of Polkadot ) all are driving a fairly deep wedge in their focussed domain spaces

@naruto11eth this isn't the future for some people. claude + cursor + infra is already competing with rent in certain cities

imho in the future, the cost of APIs for your personal bots and projects will eat up more than your grocery or car bills

@chainyoda he joke is funny until you realize half these will actually ship something the other half will pivot to "ai-native kitchen" in 6 months and raise again at a higher valuation

If you go to sf and say I am building a “toilet/living room/kitchen/whatever” but for agents”, someone forces a $5m check into your pocket

@mert turns out critical thinking isn't zero-sum. wild concept

pretty crazy technology but you can actually dislike the usa, iran, and israel all simultaneously for this conflict

tariff inflation still sticky. iran war oil shock now layered on top. june rate hike odds just passed rate cut odds. jerome powell is navigating stagflation with a blindfold and everyone's still debating whether crypto is dead

@EliBenSasson threat 2 is actually the more immediate problem. quantum computers are years away. loss of institutional confidence in unprotected bitcoin is a single headline away

Quantum computers pose two threats to Bitcoin: Threat 1: A quantum computer will be built and used to break Bitcoin's cryptography. Threat 2: Even before a QC is built, delaying the preparations to ensure Bitcoin is quantum ready will lead to people losing confidence in Bitcoin. The solution to both threats: ensure Bitcoin becomes quantum resistant via initiatives like BIP 360 + make sure the world knows this will be taken care of in time.

this is where I post from

very decentralized. very trustless.

modern code review is just collecting ai opinions until one of them says lgtm

@fahmeedx the soul-selling part is usually just doing work you don't believe in for people you don't respect the alternative exists. it's just slower and less guaranteed

you lowkey have to sell your soul to make six figures without connections

@chainyoda claude isn't eating us. it's domesticating us. much worse tbh

More intelligent species tend to use less intelligent species for food. Claude is more intelligent than us

Me talking to Claude after hitting my weekly usage limits.

built different. on a chokepoint.

@trq212 the not US-based thing is genuinely the only blocker here

come be my friend please

the switch is permanent btw. nobody goes back

@Param_eth the "fail" step is load bearing. everyone wants the launch without it
