Happy to announce the migration of my Never-Ending Interview Series to the DepressiveHacks Substack! Today is the release of the first Substack interview. I had the opportunity to speak with Dustin Gouker, one of the leading reporters on how the world of prediction markets continues to evolve. I don't believe that he is on Farcaster, but I greatly appreciated his time and how thoroughly he responded to my questions. Give the interview a browse! I will put the link in the comments.

Did a new intro to DepressiveHacks for hitting 6k followers on the former bird app, but am crossposting here. If you or someone you know needs help with comms, articles, announcements, socials, strategy, or various other business-related things, but wants to talk to someone who understands emerging technologies, I am always up for referrals. In fact, most work I get comes from referrals (thank you). https://x.com/i/status/2048839057212383556

I think I would be awfully good at this and did send a couple of messages about it, but posting here as well: https://x.com/i/status/2046268241832501695

Ever try to actually read a technical manual? I mean really read it and not skim it? It’s all accurate info, but so dry as to put the audience into a coma. In college, my English professors would drill into us that we must write with succinct economy. Every word must be there for a reason and not as unnecessary fluff. I occasionally find myself playing the role of Technical Writer for projects, business cases, etc. and the work seems at odds with the sage advice from those college professors. It’s fairly well-established that programmers don’t like to comment their code much less write lengthy documentation about how it integrates with other applications via APIs. However, that’s exactly what we have to do as part of due diligence prior to getting a system or integrated application out for production use. I’ve always been conflicted about this disparity, but I suppose I’ve learned to live with it. Anyone else have a similar experience at work or elsewhere?

Particularly depressing blog post about how I feel stuck in my mental health because I recognize all of these things that I hate about myself and are wrong with me, but it's going to take years of work to fix them and I am already fucking exhausted. https://www.depressivehacks.com/blog/there-is-something-deeply-and-intrinsically-wrong-with-me

This article from @joanwestenberg.eth really struck me and I found it incredibly relatable to a lot of aspects of my life. I wrote about it a bit below: https://x.com/depressivehacks/status/2042805502665454046

Hi all, I am making an open call for anyone who would like to discuss what they are working on to reach out to me. I am looking to ramp up the number of interviews that I am publishing, and Farcaster feels like the best place to meet or be introduced to people doing interesting things that I would like to learn about and discuss. If you know of someone working on something cool, tag them below. If you're the one working on something cool, tell me about it. Favoritism will be played if we have already met or you receive support from someone in my existing network, as this is crypto after all. The goal is to help bring what happens here to a broader audience, and I would love your help in doing that. Plus, markets have largely been down, people have been leaving, and I have always found that this is the most impactful time for me to double down, meet new folks, and solidify that I want to be here learning and creating with you all. Looking forward to meeting you / hearing about what you're building!

Excited to share my latest article for Vault12. This article is focused on their Guardian Campaign. The article dives into resources for choosing Guardians, how to have difficult conversations regarding digital inheritance, and testimonials from Vault12 community members about how knowing their digital legacy is secured with Vault12 helps to bring them peace of mind. https://vault12.com/learn/guardian-strategy/

Gm. Busy week coming up. Multiple interview question sets going out. Excited to bring those back. New article coming for my one client who I write for. Also have a meeting for a potential second client. Slowly, then all at once. I also hope to find time to write a new blog post this week. So much to do! 🫠

ICYMI: Dropped a new Substack this week. This article discusses how I'm using AI to bring more visibility to DepressiveHacks on platforms that I have never been able to utilize for brand recognition and storytelling. https://open.substack.com/pub/depressivehacks/p/ip-and-ai-a-love-story?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=3e0gkm
