Future Fomo

How do you judge different great opportunities? How privledged do I need to be where my biggest concern is deciding between great outcomes. Ultimately, how much money is enough? What is important in daily life? Should you shoot for the moon? Aim for the stars?

Looking into the future there are a few things that are clear. Web3 isn’t going anywhere and legacy Web2.0 business will slow turn into Web3 businesses. Everything from media, to insurance, to banking, to lending, to commerce will sit on a blockain of sorts. The distributed power of Web3 follows the same trend that there are only two business models. Bundling, and unbundling. Web3 is the unbundling of Web2.

Then there is the metaverse. I am spending at least 15 minutes a day in VR. My favoruite thing to do is fire up Horizon Workrooms and just check my email in VR. Feels weird to say that, but it’s true. Something about “working from anywhere” is really cool, and if Meta just doubled down on those environments I think that app, even without others would be a daily use for me.

Then there is the legacy Web2 world that still has enough life in it for disruption. Or maybe there is a way to combine all three together.

Utlimately it comes back to the Framework, I will investigate that in another post. For now, more questions than answers.

87 to go.

It was December 28th. I woke up at 6am and Cursor had been running all night. I had Claude working while I slept, writing code, pushing commits, doing things that would have taken me a full day.

Turns out I wasn't the only one. When the Christmas break ended, Charlie and Yitong, my co-founders at Agora, had similar epiphanies

I treat AI as a tool and like any tool, people can use the same tools in different ways to acheive different results. I recently realized that I use AI differently than some of my colleagues so I was encouraged to share how I code. Before I talk about the tools and tactics, it's important to remember that I have a golden rule when using AI to code: Don't get AI to build something you don't understand or haven't built at least 3 times before. CRUD application? ✅ Simple Tab View Mobile App? ✅

The Messy Middle

My family is moving into a new house and we wanted to do a little bit of remodelling upstairs. Nothing big, just closing off a wall, making a closet a little bigger and swapping out a sink in the bathroom. My wife's family owns a construction business, so we are lucky to have an inside track with contractors and knowledge. My father in law is a genius, he runs his own construction business but still made time to come and measure, sketch and draw up the plans himself. My wife and I his customers

So, you want to write something but you are feeling like you can’t finish and post it for a really simple reason: there are 6 people in the world smarter than you on this topic, surely they should write it not you. During an interview today for Agora’s product manager, a warrior of art reminded me of this mental block and it rung so true. How many great pieces of advice, lessons, ideas and inspiration are left unsaid due to someone feeling as though they aren’t qualified enough to talk about it
