“the world is not perfectly efficient” - Jesse Walden
wonderful tagline to explain away tons of naive tech assumptions
it was after providing free ip, distribution, capital (no strings attached), product feedback, network support, and a composable entrepreneurial thesis/framework, etc that I realized how inefficient by default things truly were
even if you remove what you deem the most critical obstructions you will be met with the human animal and all its inefficient matrices
these frontier tech experiments likely hold immense merit and the underpinning theories may be spot on
…and yet, if the consumer is not educated or brought along the learning/talent/skill curve you have big product problems on your hands
and at present no amount of automation feels like it invalids that last claim

farcaster should rebrand to fc and any usecase being fulfilled by the software can be met with "using fc" language imo

danaher had this meme that he believes anyone can dramatically improve themselves into a top (5%?) - I forget the exact percentage - operator in a given field in 5 years time
some fields are harder than others sure but seems a solid meme upon reflection. with ai it’s probably going to shrink

Dan hated product people, and I imagine his experience is accurate in a lot of them probably sucking
yet maybe they could have used one in hindsight after seeing more of his post-exit thoughts.

One of the craziest things pre agentic coding was having to hop on calls with devs, pitch an idea, and then compromise on all the things you know mattered for network, marketing, comms, visual, etc
Then you both would decide it wasn’t worth it or they wanted to be paid way more to scope it to your og idea (that they initially say is easy af to do) and then you had to watch them go ship hand crafted slop.
Good riddance. Be blessed (real)

Since pre time off I was experimenting with punctuation on twitter to see if there were discernible patterns in user reaction.
Do believe that due to the sheer volume and frequency of post content, the later in the day the more uppercase starting posts become taxing (relative) and skipped over more naturally.
Lowercase starting posts do seem to offer less mental lift but to the degree the trade off matters still unknown.

Question I posed to jesse at variant for his upcoming block works podcast (in case it doesn’t get answered and I need to refer to it):
Any mental models on distributed funding philosophies?
(ie. how commodified can an investment philosophy be and can it be packaged into a trust-minimized subagent program)

“Ah let’s see how it goes.” “Let’s monitor the situation.” “Maybe, let me think about it a little.”
Cool story bro. Oh wait, absolute no story.
