The first PR on a brand new major framework project is always the trickiest :) Well, besides the PR adding a basic README 🤣

New method for working out tech ideas: 1. Start a voice chat with Grok 2. Discuss everything I've been thinking 3. Tell Grok to ask me clarifying questions 4. Ask Grok's opinion (yes, opinion) on parts I'm uncertain of 5. Ask for thoughts on names, simplification for terminology 6. Get a full product description, short explainers for different audiences, and potential marketing spin It's like having an active rubber duck plus note taker all in one.

Has anyone read the book “Give and Take” by Adam Grant? I’m part way through, and it’s making an interesting argument in favor of, essentially, generosity. The implication so far is that, when done correctly, selfless giving creates value. I like the idea overall, it’s a nice nod to altruism. However, it’s somewhat at odds with capitalist approaches of value-for-value. In particular, it seems to contradict things like the implicit roles of Atlantis in Atlas Shrugged. I’m curious if others have had similar thoughts on the book, or frankly anything else. #economics #asknostr

My company has recently started adding BTC to its balance sheet, which makes me _very_ happy. One side effect is that at our weekly leadership calls, we're now regularly discussing short-term BTC price action. Yesterday, I finally came around to the idea that we're going to be range bound between $85k-$95k for a while. Not that it bothers me personally, I'm a long term HODLer, but business needs are different and require shorter term time horizons. And this appears to be a pretty widely held consensus view. Watching this Swan video this morning, it's making me wonder: since there's finally consensus growing that the BTC price isn't about to explode, are we ready for people's expectations to be subverted once more? I can't wait to hear what the announcement is later today on the strategic reserve, should be very interesting. #bitcoin I'm also totally open to this video just being Swan marketing hype/hopium 😆
