Why I'm obsessed with data (and you should be too) Let me show you why this matters with a recent example... I saw headlines screaming "Ethereum hits ATH 24,192 TPS!" > My first thought: "Wait, did @ethereum make some massive upgrade I missed?" > Current avg TPS is around 4,833. That's a HUGE jump from what we had prev. as avg TPS like 200-300 TPS So I did what you should always do: I dug into the data. Turns out, the spike came from ONE L2 network: @Lighter_xyz contributing 4,000+ TPS alone. > For context, @base (a major L2) does 100-200 TPS. @Lighter_xyz is doing 20x that. When you look at the charts, only Lighter is driving this spike. Remove it, and we're back to normal levels. This is exactly why data matters: > Headlines give you the "what" > Data gives you the "why" and "how" Before celebrating (or panicking) about any metric, ask: > What's driving this number? > Is it sustainable or a one time spike? > Who/what is contributing the most?

the ability to say MORE with LESS is literally one of the most underrated skills out there. like, if you can distill your thoughts into: > a clean diagram > 3 bullet points instead of 3 paragraphs > one perfect sentence that hits different the irony? i'm sitting here STILL wanting to write 2000 word long post about everything so how do we actually get better at this: > write the long version first, then brutally cut it in half (then cut again) > ask yourself "can i show this instead of telling it?" → diagrams, examples, analogies > read your stuff out loud, if you're losing breath, it's too long > practice on x literally forces you to be concise, hahha I am still trying to do that the goal isn't to be short for short's sake. It's to respect people's time while still hitting them with the full impact anyway if you made it this far thanks for reading my long post about not writing long posts.
