Perfect is the enemy of great. I’ve watched companies spend 3–6 months interviewing 50+ candidates while their competitors ship and win. If you’re optimizing for a flawless candidates, you’re playing the wrong game.

A lot of people look at US-based engineers and immediately think “way too expensive” And yeah, on paper, that’s often true. But something I’ve noticed after working with devs across Europe, LatAm, APAC, and the US — the biggest difference isn’t just salary, it’s mindset. There’s a higher % of US-based engineers who just understand startup. They’re more comfortable with uncertainty. They ask the right questions. They don’t wait around for someone to tell them what to do. You can find people like that anywhere — but for whatever reason, there’s more of them here. And if you’re building something from zero, that mentality goes a long way.

Caught up with @worthalter from /poap and walked away with a new appreciation for what they’re building. I used to think of POAPs as digital stickers. But they’re more like memory anchors, little onchain time capsules.

At an early-stage, the difference between a good hire and a great one often comes down to: Are they willing to argue with you? I mean, the best ones don’t just take direction, they question it. They show up with opinions, ask hard questions, and still drive things forward. It’s not about being combative, but being invested. Blind agreement is comfortable. But it rarely leads to the best outcomes.

After seeing 1000s of engineers referred to /Squad, one things is clear: The 10x engineers you want never apply for jobs. They're referred. Elite developers who have built smart contracts with millions of TVL are not hanging out on job boards. This is why we've built our model around high-quality referrals from people who actually understand the technology. Both talented engineers and specialized recruiters who've built real relationships in the space. Our network gets stronger with each addition because quality attracts quality.

Air Europa is now experimenting with crypto payments I doubt a significant portion of their target users holds crypto or is willing to onramp but if it works, they’d save a lot on card processing fees — and at worst, they could still grow their consumer base / increase revenue by attracting a few crypto bros
