One thing I didn't expect with Scout Game: the community forming around watching developers ship code in real-time. Turns out making open source contributions visible and rewarding creates its own social layer.

Building Scout Game has been wild. Watching devs discover they can actually get paid for the open source work they're already doing feels like we cracked some code. This is how builder incentives should work.

Scout Game was created to acknowledge and reward Open Source Developers. A pure mission from a team that loves Open Source. I was talking to the EF about it and they thought it was cool and said they would be interested in tweeting about it when we launched. Then launch day came and they said, oh there is a token. Sorry we won’t tweet it. And then I never heard from them again. That was when I realize much of the criticism about them was valid.

Of all the futbol I watch, USMNT is the only time I scream at the TV. I can’t really say why, I mean we all know they are not going to win the World Cup but I think it’s because I’ve been watching them since I was little, before MLS, before you could get international leagues on US TV.

Threads has a lot of AI developer content. It’s where the creator of Claude Code posts even. LinkedIn has a lot of more general AI stuff, heavy on the sales and marketing side. Farcaster does not have a lot of AI stuff. It has some but not a lot and not a lot of knowledge sharing. X is a hot mess of garbage and maybe it has AI stuff but it really wants to show me culture war stuff.

Salut to Inter Miami who lost to PSG by 1 less goal than Inter Milan despite spending $100M less on salaries per year.

If I were to rewrite this I wouldn't have used "space". Nothing is holding this space back. There is no space. Adoption of blockchain technology is what is being held back.

I have had a massive perspective change on crypto. I spent the last 2 months learning the AI dev tools (8-12 hours a day) and rethinking how Product Development works in the age of AI. Most of the AI development community is outside of crypto and that forced me to break outside the bubble and engage deeply with other emerging technology and technologist. I have not really pulled my thoughts together in a nice shareable way but: On a positive note, I believe crypto has won. Its stablecoins (ie Stripe) and speculation (ie Polymarket). Game over. On a negative note, the cult we built around crypto is beyond dumb, toxic and holding the whole space back. But my biggest shift is that there is no "crypto" there is only Internet and crypto primitives are just part of the toolkit for the greater internet. My love for cryptocurrencies and its protocol has not changed only my perspective in how it fits in the wider internet. I no longer work in crypto. I work in tech.

Why don’t they put stabilization in this ref body cams. They make it like this what the ref sees but could you imagine if your eyes worked like that.

DAZN commentators calling it like they’d rather be doing something else. TUDN commentators calling it like there is no place they’d rather be.

Im pretty excited about Nico Williams coming to Barca. Not even just wins and losses (Barca pretty good already) but he’s a pure joy to watch. Real Madrid’s mercenaries vs FC Barcelona’s players with soul. Barca will probably beat them 4x in a row… again.

Jake Paul needs to be developed. Yes, he’s a “real” boxer but when Chavez finally woke up he exposed a lot of flaws in Paul’s game. Too little too late for Chavez and I’d love to see how good Paul could be if properly developed. Instead he’s going to go for a flashy fight and bite off more than he can chew.

There is a guy fighting right now, out of Miami, and his shorts are sponsored by Sushi Sake and even though the whole world is watching, only people who have lived in Miami know how good their happy hour deal is.

Honduras just beat Panama to reach the Concaf Gold Cup Semi Finals. Next they face Mexico. The neighborhood is going crazy. USMNT has two wins left to get to the finals but in the unlikely chance its USA vs Honduras in the finals, I am going to throw the biggest watch party of the year. If I were a betting man and I am, I would bet the finals are USA vs Mexico.
