for others to download and run your mac app, you have to run a command line tool that sends your binary to apple and waits for a real human being to look around the .app and make sure everything looks good before signing off on it. only then the command on your build machine returns success. this means that a CI build job could take many hours or even days, weeks. 🤯

great for adults who learned to think without AI not so great for younger people who have access to AI tools for schoolwork, and can effectively avoid learning to think on their own whilst still getting good grades. I don't doubt someone with a fully developed prefrontal cortex can train themselves to "do the work" - but I bet it's much harder for young people who have a crystal clear path of least resistance to follow.

coding because it's fun to build stuff -> coding to win competitions -> coding to make money -> coding to climb to somewhere more "senior" -> coding to get as many users as possible -> coding to raise venture capital -> coding to realise some arbitrary ego identity -> coding because it's fun to build stuff 🏁

the gap between apple consumer UX and devEX is enormous. partially because their consumer experience is so good, but devEX is certainly below-average. goes to show just how much shit devs are willing to go through to gain access to the ecosystem.

building early in crypto on one hand helped me shape my intuition early to hopefully later get an unfair advantage, but on the other hand I’m jaded from the endless toxic griftslop “wen utility ser” that you need to deal with on a daily basis if you reach even the lowest levels of success i’m excited for the first significant wave of normies to reach crypto and hope there’s a sharp step change in culture that follows

is AI far enough along for us to build a thing inventor? I think we're close. and farcaster might be a key piece to enable it. h/t to @hellno.eth for a great conversation that led me to writing this. https://ntik.me/posts/thing-inventor#1

as an outsider who has never written a line of rust, I never understood what makes "<some generic product category> but in Rust" so enticing on hacker news that it always lands on the front page.

I think farcaster is undergoing the first wave of "normification". lots of new accounts here aren't in crypto (at least not as deep), aren't SV/NYC techies and posting primarily about lifestyle. this is: - great for farcaster. the new wave of content is more relatable to the majority of people, and it will attract that majority - it's essential for the next stage of growth - possibly unfortunate for early users, who came for the niche vibe (crypto, founder, ethereum, etc) up to the algorithm to reconcile this

300+ stars on SnapQL! ⭐️ I'm still bashing my head against the wall trying to figure out how to successfully sign and notarize the binary so I can actually let people download and install it I'm going to raise the bounty to help me do this from $75 to $150, as it seems to be quite a tricky one! https://farcaster.xyz/nt/0x43018bba
