We’ve reached the midway point in the Invariants of Building Software series. Invariant 3: Don’t Build Without a Plan. We’re talking writing code, because we have a plan. Let’s “wire in” (which is a real thing) like the dorks at Facebook and Build.

After 12 years learning about bitcoin, I’m thankful for the incoming effort posts from 5th year Wall Street associates. So much to learn.

My good friend and Nostr enthusiast, Parker Lewis, is going to be at Bitcoin Park in Nashville July 17-19. @Rod and @ODELL have arranged a book signing for the 17th. If you’re attending the mining summit (it’s going to rule), order a first edition copy of Gradually, Then Suddenly by Wednesday so we can get your copy to Nashville in time.

DEI rebranding as AI safety. It’s not about any particular ideology or mission, just paychecks for the unproductive.

Most people I know working in AI are the most pessimistic people in my social circles. Most people I know working on bitcoin are the most optimistic people in my social circles. Lines up pretty well with Peter Thiel’s communist vs libertarian framing of AI and bitcoin years ago.

Part two in my series, Invariants of Software Development is out. Invariant 2: Don’t Design Without a Strategy. This is full of the product manage-y and designer stuff before we write code. But we will be writing code soon.

One year with Damus. It’s gotten so much better. Last year at this time I had never ending relay issues, couldn’t post pictures, couldn’t send a bitcoin transaction, even getting a profile pic was an exotic quest. Great work @jb55 and team. View quoted note →
