I didn’t set out to vibe code Giftr. I didn’t even think I’d be able to do any of the dev work. I set out to prove that care and generosity can be a growth engine for community...and that crypto can be warm, magical, and capable of connecting our digital and physical worlds. Over the past year, I've worked with @deployer on marketing and comms, first with /ham and then with @bankr. Watching @deployer ship, navigate chaos, assemble an incredible team, go mainstream, and build a ride-or-die community that shows up every day was incredibly inspiring. It made me believe a product can be both onchain and deeply human. Giftr started as a side hustle experiment. It was an excuse for me to play with all the new AI tools people joked their dog could code with. It was a bumpy start. The current Giftr repo is my third attempt. Twice I gave it everything and walked away thinking, “This just isn’t possible for me.” But I kept coming back. Kept wanting to try a slightly different approach that might work. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I started reading dev docs, asking AI to explain them back to me, and slowly connecting the dots. The day I got wallet transactions to work, I knew I could do this. Now I use AI daily (Claude, Cursor, Codex, Canva, Perplexity, etc...) They’re critical to my flow and absolutely accelerate my output, but they don’t decide what feels true or magical. They aren’t doing demos, asking for feedback, nurturing manufacturer relationships, packing boxes, walking to the post office or applying two decades of experience in product, brand, and innovation to make the experience special. My judgment, empathy, taste and lived experience (aka me being a human) is my moat. So yes, it's true what @adrienne said. I am not a dev. I’m a builder with conviction, creativity, curiosity, and patience disguised as obsession. Vibe coding is the art of staying calm, creative, and resourceful when everything breaks. It's trusting that you’ll figure it out. It's knowing that success isn’t just how it works but also how it feels. It’s listening, intuition, patience, and staying at your desk until what you push to prod finally feels right. 💜

holiday dosing instructions 💊 when your uncle asks “what’s farcaster?” the social network with a sick crypto wallet. you own your account. one handle. lots of apps. when your cousin asks “what’s that purple pill?” your invite into farcaster. whoever brought you here is now your dealer. when your mom asks “what’s wowow?” it means “i love this.” say it back. it feels good. when your friend asks “why does the logo look like pants?” yes, it’s pants. no, they stay on. purple pill your friends & family responsibly. side effects may include explaining crypto to your dad at the dinner table. happy thanksgiving :)
