Will do, thanks for the reply--and I am really excited about the possibilities <3
I appreciate what @surf.social is doing and will keep using the app, but I am disappointed that the @flipboard.com team who built a mind-blowing app in 2010 wasn't able to build a better UX here. It's not just about being slow, it's that it's a lot of clicking around to find content--there's no flow
This generation’s Y2K starts when subsidies end and everyone tries to save on tokens.
Spent the morning sending random people links to the this--such a great episode. Great job @davidpierce.xyz
Sad to see Clockwise sent off to a Salesforce farm upstate.
It saved my ass running large engineering orgs. Ended up rolling it out across DigitalOcean and SeatGeek, and we somehow even became featured customers in their farewell post… which, in hindsight, might explain things. www.getclockwise.com
If anything, the constant pivoting and re-pivoting to build an AI narrative has probably slowed down the delivery of real value while increasing noise and feature churn.
The management and incentive thinking I hear from top VCs today sounds like it came straight from an IBM middle manager running a mainframe payroll system in 1987.
Wait huge!
Need correct.
I almost gave wrong.

It’s kinda wild how tech discourse went from using old-school dev tools to build cutting-edge AI apps to using cutting-edge AI dev tools to build old-school apps.
Hashtag SQLite was right?
2027’s song of the summer is gonna go like this:
Debí usar más tokens cuando estaban subsidia’os…
Appreciate the tone, but I still haven't seen an example of web3 that isn't a scam and/or just crypto to do crypto.OTOH a great case for crypto might be right here with AI app layers' need to store and share data safely yet the 'decentralized' ppl arent interested bc being useful was never the point
And how exactly web3 accomplishes that
It depends on the dialect, but the T in TPM is usually silent
but why does it need web3 for that
But anything that isn't just crypto to do crypto
I asked Pi to play Warcraft sounds, thought it would use one of the extensions out there. forgot about it. later I’m in another terminal and get spooked by a sudden “Yes me lord” in the weirdest voice.. turns out it couldn’t download the original files so it used the Mac say command to recreate them

I don’t have to be involved in MLMs to know that they are scams.
But maybe you can point me to some great web3 projects. What’s your favorite web3 app, the one you use every day?
Nope, because these folks are actually delivering something useful way before AI was even a thing most people cared about. Crypto scammers have been promising all sorts of things and never deliver anything but rug pulls and gambling.
Another piece of evidence that the web3/crypto crowd were scammers and never really cared about decentralization: with all these agents and “vibe coding” businesses, this is a golden opportunity for decentralized, hash-guaranteed data streams, and yet they’ve all pivoted to prediction market scams

I’d just like to remind everyone that the only person actually getting paid by LOC is Sam Altman and his friends.
