one of the wildest two weeks of my career to date. none of you are ready for what's coming https://x.com/gakonst/status/2024547976627241171
Today I liquidated all my assets. I sold all my stocks in my 401k and all my stocks in both my personal account and my trading account and I've now bought Lobstercoins, I'm now 100% in the only known safe haven. Lobstardio.
I've been working on Farcaster a little over 2.5 years. In that time I am proud of contributing to: Smart contracts anyone can call Two versions of an open network anyone can read/write/run An auth standard any app can use Two versions of app platforms where anyone can build A wallet that any app can access And now a token platform where anyone can launch I don't control what you do with them. That's the point. But you have never had more agency than you do today to create the things you want to see.
FOCUS If you are very talented and very lucky, you can probably do one new thing per week. In my experience, thinking, planning, executing, and refining a new idea rarely takes less time. If you take a week off at Christmas and a few vacation days, that's an upper bound of 50 things a year. I bat less than this, sometimes by a lot. Maybe I can do 25 or 30 things a year. It's an iron law of software that adding more people scales less than linearly. So if I'm working with many people on many things, maybe I can do 15 or 20 things a year. So if I'm lucky, maybe I'll get to try 100 or 200 new ideas for Farcaster this decade. And most of them will fail. When you realize this, you realize how precious focus is. I spent ten years working on software for other people and probably accomplished nothing enduring at all. @v is the most intensely, stubbornly, fanatically focused person I have ever worked with. It is his superpower. There can be times I feel some of the same emotions many of you do from the inside: it can be frustrating when the laser beam is not pointing exactly where I want. But I respect it because he's right, and because I believe it's necessary to accomplish something that survives. And when you find something that survives, it's foolish to throw it away, even if you're focused on something else. I work a lot and time out pretty much every day: there is always something else I could fix, always someone else I could help in my DMs, always more feedback on the TL. So I focus and keep moving forward. That's all you can do.
