I disagree and you could reduce basically anything to this: 'there can‘t be any interesting discussion about React. Every conversation boils down to which framework you use or how you manage state or whether you use typescript or javas

10mins is a lifetime in capital and crypto markets - I find it hard to believe that trading 10mins after the Terraform Labs swap hit the chain constitutes insider trading. The claim of artificial price inflation with Jump sounds more questi

Thanks for this. I find having a name to certain phenomena makes them easier to understand and apply in the wild, and will definitely think ‘barker’ in the future haha

Wow, perhaps I’m naive but what the hell are they spending over $800M a year on? That seems an obscene amount for a glorified message board. I just read they have 2000 employees which is also puzzling to me

I find it’s the best way to work through these types of books - otherwise I tend to just copy the code mindlessly. Doing the exercises from a book in another language forces you to consume the semantics of it better. I did the Torsten Ball

do you have any breakdown on the trade-offs? Most HN commentary focuses on FUD around the signal founder rather than technical reasons why it shouldn’t be federated and would love to understand them better

Great post - I love these candid insights into founder life. It’s hard to learn a lot of these lessons without going through it, so I really appreciate you sharing
