Vibe coding thrives on clear planning Scattershot approaches waste time & kill productivity Building products with AI models demands robust context Each step feeds into the next, creating a system of clarity Good context creation follows a rhythm: - PRD defines the big "what" & "why" - User stories turn vision into actionable goals - User flows outline how users move through the experience - Design specs bring it all to life without ambiguity Context isn’t busywork It’s leverage Here’s a guide to doing it right

AI & Adaptive UIs: Static is over Interfaces built for everyone serve no one Complex products & diverse users demand more than static layouts AI-powered adaptive UI opens a new frontier in product design Every user action trains the interface to respond smarter Navigation & content might shift in real time, tuned to habits Personalization becomes less clutter, more relevance, real usability Imagine crypto platforms redesigned with intelligent UI: - Newcomers see guided onboarding, clear explanations, fewer buttons - Veterans unlock analytics, trading automations, optimized flows The interface grows more capable as users do Personalization brings a flood of user data With it, new responsibility: - Controls & consent front & center - Bias checked before features roll out - Adaptation that stays transparent & predictable AI-driven UI is still early but the groundwork is here Builders who lean in will define what great digital experiences look like next

Best prompt hack: - Draft a prompt - Rewrite it like this: Write this as a prompt for an LLM [insert draft here] - Paste, send, done Prompt smarter, not harder

Plan less, ship more Most "planning" is overthinking disguised as action The real feedback begins the moment your product goes live Ship early Ship often Perfection is a myth

In crypto, shared belief outweighs fundamentals A whitepaper & a meme can outperform years of revenue Value isn’t in the tech, it’s in the network Reality is consensus Markets run on narratives The strongest primitive in crypto isn’t code It’s conviction

LLMs aren’t just tools, they’re platforms for creation They don’t just help you use software They help you shape it Design workflows Spin up agents Prototype apps on the fly It’s no longer about clicking buttons It’s about expressing intent We’ve crossed a line: From using software to co-creating it The gap between an idea & a working product has never been smaller

Rethinking public markets: How onchain capital formation can replace the IPO For over a century, IPOs have been the pinnacle of corporate finance But for SMEs, they’re a structural nightmare: - High costs - Regulatory red tape - Opaque gatekeeping The system isn’t broken It’s just designed for incumbents

Tools like Cursor can speed up development But security can’t be an afterthought Vibe coders need to integrate security from day one Focus on: - Validating & sanitizing user inputs - Avoiding hardcoded secrets; use environment variables - Enabling RLS in Supabase - Adding rate limiting to prevent abuse - Minimizing API data exposure - Using HTTPS & secure headers - Updating dependencies regularly - Logging & monitoring critical actions AI accelerates, but vigilance wins A product is only valuable if it’s safe, private, & resilient

Vibe coding works for POCs But building production-grade software is a different game Tools claiming "apps in minutes, no devs needed" sell a dream, not a solution The outputs are often generic, fragile, & far from scalable Real software requires mastery: - Architecture - API logic - Debugging - Performance - Edge cases AI can assist & reduce effort, but it won’t replace experience, creativity, or problem-solving

Mini apps have the benefit of tapping into Farcaster's onchain social graph But do they actually make money? Most feel experimental, more play than profit It’s unclear if this "toy phase" leads to something bigger Still waiting for one to prove its staying power

Internet Native Value Created, owned, & exchanged entirely online Think digital art, game skins, memes, & tokenized assets Scarce by design, powered by trustless systems It shifts control from traditional gatekeepers to creators & communities Born & thriving in the digital realm The future of ownership doesn’t need your permission

Automation vs. Augmentation These two AI paradigms will define the future of work, creativity, & human potential Automation is about replacing repetitive, deterministic tasks Augmentation is about enhancing human capabilities for indeterminate, complex challenges Here’s why this matters

Crypto’s biggest killer: trenchers They chase metas, extract value, then move on Products rake in fees, then collapse Short-term profits aren’t growth If your product thrives on trencher attention, you’re doomed to fail The solution: align incentives, build systems that reward commitment, & prioritize long-term value Non-trenchers want in, but crypto’s extractive culture drives them away Stop designing for quick wins Sustainable ecosystems require products that outlast the hype

Startups run on narratives A great narrative sells more than products It sells conviction Without one, even the best tech fails to scale Here’s how to craft a narrative that actually works

Prompt engineering isn’t guesswork It’s strategy Tip: Define your objective - Vague prompts get vague results - Be specific with intent Tip: Use clear language - AI doesn’t read minds - Clarity shapes quality - Write "Summarize in 3 bullet points", not "Tell me something interesting" Tip: Structure matters - Instruction → Input → Output format - Predictable prompts create reliable outputs Tip: Specify output format - Want a JSON? Say it - Want a list? Structure it - "List three reasons why" beats "Why" every time Tip: Leverage examples - Few-shot prompting works - Prime the model with 1–3 examples
