Heard that highway 1 reopened so I got in my car and drove there... California man. What a place.

Crypto is radioactive to the outside world and things like this only confirm it in people’s minds
good move from X to prioritize quality over slop by rejecting the hyper-financialization of social. hopefully this improves how crypto is perceived and makes the platform usable again. https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2011840137454354672

We are revising our developer API policies: We will no longer allow apps that reward users for posting on X (aka “infofi”). This has led to a tremendous amount of AI slop & reply spam on the platform. We have revoked API access from these apps, so your X experience should

I would pay so much money for a much more detailed version of Lenny’s pod. Like I want to know everything about Mike Krieger’s career, the takeaways from everything he’s done, his creative process, how he wrestles with ideas, how he structures his teams, etc with many examples.

gets at an important lesson I learned while working on @event. Growth in usage must translate to growth in revenue, otherwise the reverse will be true (because it costs more to maintain as you scale regardless of profit). x.com/adamwathan/s... TLDR: their business is in major decline desp...

I thought it was cool that at Cursor, everyone is expected to ship, not just engineers. She mentions multiple times how she was pushed to update the site directly or build the tool she needs, rather than just write a doc and ask for help.

The sad thing about FC deprioritizing social in favor of wallet is that, with twitter on its engagementmaxxing algo and insta focused on reels, it feels like there’s no good place to “hang out” on the internet anymore. I had hoped substack could be this place, but it seems unless you’re already building an audience wi...
