On Farcaster.
Casts worth keeping. Newest first.
cooking on a personal site this year I'm building the whole product backlog I've accumulated in my 10 year career lol
base is finally becoming what it was always perceived as - a corpo chain they may have tried for real but you can't go against coinbase gravity
Rust backend Svelte frontend That duo seems to beat everything Yet if you ask AI to build anything it'd go with nextjs and react and tailwind
amount of mental capacity saved by paying youtube to not show ads is insane as I've stated many times before - paid ads are killing humanity but today they're considered the holy grail of online marketing worthy things should spread via social interactions and recommendations instead
VCs will hate this but @pawrlink.eth would be profitable at like 26 yearly users already Peaked efficiency to develop at such speeds, costs and quality Still took multiple months of full time effort to get it here
most people take defaults for granted from the digital apps they use to even things like religion in the AI era we're accelerating towards - defaults will get outcompeted fast simply knowing about better things / better quality things can get you much further people talk about taste a lot but taste could just be the knowledge about the best that exist today in the world and can be in any domain you like
the hardest thing is to build when there’s no incentive to not to throw fun events not to get a grant not to get an allocation not to get a status in the community not to raise another round not to get more from your donors but because you care about solving the core problem you’ve found / felt and solving it better than everyone else which is pretty much a default at that point because everyone else is doing it for the above reasons which is why they don’t last long etc
very few startups over the last 10 years succeeded while working with physical world (e.g. uber, airbnb) best startups you could work for became boring corporations limited by jurisdictions they work in all new startups are yet another AI wrappers or todo apps this is why I didn't apply to work for base or one of those trendy startups in the US and got forbid Europe make of that what you will but it sounds as based to me as you can get
the speed at which you move once you get familiar with AI agents and have everything plugged in is... insane 🚀 probably the best investment of time you could possibly do its like literally building a digital factory for anything you're doing or want to do on the internet either for yourself or your products
side projects I've built in may - posts.design: social media posts design inspiration - brandfast.gg: brand assets in under 8 days - tell.pawr.link: CLI for x402 payments - opencaster: farcaster client - supertrend: watching trends on 40+ assets and paper trading - company os: polsia clone with more features - e-commerce store for relatives in Belarus - mockup studio: using codex api to put designs onto mockups - pawr AI video pipeline setup a lot of playing with hermes also
coding without ai is becoming an artisanal thing same as you have artisanal bread and other things you can mass bake bread or you can hand made it for a small boutique bakery second requires much more skill and care and work
details matter more than ever with ai tools and thats what was and will differentiate best from the rest everyone can prompt high level things but AI will do it using the same amount of tokens as it would for the smallest specific thing you could've prompted
biggest actual use case for agents could become being managers of the things they’re hosted within I’m testing it on one smaller side project right now and it’s quite amazing it’s automating most of the site’s / platform management and on recurring basis watching for things and improving processes each run
Every power in the world flips on the original vision that led it to success Base started on the right track and as it reached, captured and dominated Ethereum L2s the shift happened When people in charge win power and money they change their worldview and values over time to accommodate new goals — primarily to keep what they got
best positioning in the current market / world conditions - working AC, peaceful region, developed neighborhood - lots of like-minded people, healthy locally sourced food - uncensored internet - self custody eth/btc/zec - diversified usd holdings to deploy - legal residency in europe, bank in a third country - foreign sourced income, remote work - permitted to travel abroad for as long as needed - AI subs stacked, macbook, VPS - imagination, agency, principles, values, care - tiktok deleted, notifications cleared, calendar cleared
been fun minting, supporting, investing, trading and sharing feedback on farcaster / base for the past 2 years been entering a new chapter since december which helps me push my personal milestones, growth and opportunities much further from there thank you all
maybe the best browser is just a bookmark / AI tagging app that puts everything you leave behind and specifics of it stored to then reuse / recall or act on — either yourself or let an AI agent do it
snap is the investment you can make for farcaster to go beyond neynar / centralization long term I see a lot of high energy dev work at the protocol level + infrastructure and client work happening because of it already
@pawrlink.eth is officially live! one pawrful page for everything you are and make 🧙🪄✨ a link in bio, but rich and mighty 💪 make yours now on pawr.link and share it with the world!
could the whole base content coins narrative be simply a way for the top coinbase people to extract money from all of us? take a look at the content and creator coins with most volume, now garry joined the list and they're the only ones making money from coins by simply posting
social interactions are not financial by default imagine you meet friends IRL and tell them something which some random people around can also overhear — and now you have a way to show them how much your speech is worth, everyone around can now buy a piece of it onchain does it make interactions between humans better?
we will win when digital first apps like spotify use stablecoins to pay for the subscription that will save a bunch on processing and may leave more money on the table for musicians the only reason it hasn't been done is because the industry is monopolized and people in power don't want to lose it — even if everyone else is losing
