Your employees need to stop baiting on X.. "I'll hire cracked devs who score above a certain number, just scan your GitHub, get a score, send me a screenshot" meanwhile getting the actual score is a premium feature.
This is one of the most grotesque metric and funnels for data input I've seen.

Vibe coding for me was a paradigm shift on AI as a tool I can utilize to unlock more. I started with no-code solutions, and never could get to the last 10% of production-ready. Then saw someone on X mention Cursor. Avoided it, avoided it then said fuck it and dove in, and now I use it daily and it's been a game changer. Prior to all this, I had front-end experience at best... like modifying Wordpress themes back in the day, etc. - I've since shipped two software platforms that are basically AI OS for certain verticals, and an intricate iPhone app, etc... None of this was possible for me before six months ago. Big fan of the IDE experience. I tried Claude Code but I don't like not knowing what's going on the way I see it in Cursor. The first platform I was idea to market in 3 weeks, then the next platform, it took me a day. Not MVP, but fully built out. That's insane. My first startup was an iPhone app back during iOS7, and we had to outsource V1, and it took six months and cost $50k. It was a terrible MVP. Lol. In comparison, I'm doing what I'm doing in Cursor on the $60 plan.
All this to say, Vibe Coding as a no-code, even if the solution can hook api's for you, etc, nah. It should be a gateway at best to fully understand and build via agentic development.

Resume: I've co-founded tech and CPG startups, and I can build anything with AI. Predominantly Cursor/Claude Code. Check iOS App Store: ForensAI (idea to approved in 3 weeks).

I’m a total subscriber to the notion “you can just do things” and know I can figure anything out with AI. Obsessed with agentic automation lately, and redefining consumer app experiences. I'm deep into my AI journey, would love to join a team, but also happy doing my own thing
Well done! Did you happen to vibe code this?
Lol.
time will tell
It’s true, especially with the “vibe” movement happening in real-time on X… “you can just do things” — I am building ai app layers b2c/b2b and while I do have an ml technical co-founder, I am largely scaling this with AI from strategy, visuals to coding. For example, with Claude created a framework for my company to scale, then built an AI powered dashboard in cursor around it as the command center. At scale we don’t need a team of more than ~5 to reach 7 fig MRR.
Greg Isenberg has some of the best takes on this on X. He articulates the paradigm shift extremely well.. @gregisenberg — one example: https://x.com/gregisenberg/status/1936083456611561932?s=46)

Email: tg @ taylorgood .comA friends AI startup already laid off 30 to control the bleed as their working capital was at SVB.
Jay-Z said not to :)
“With 61 years left on the 75-year lease, Chicago Parking Meters LLC now has recouped its entire $1.16 billion investment and $502.5 million more.”
Ridiculously advantageous to the partners of the LLC, and good on them for securing this. Easily one of the best rev deals in history..
Can't knock it
What a fantastic personal website for such a late talent.
Theragun + massage table
On an iPad UI nonetheless
UHNW doesn't inherently mean rescinding fulfillment :)
Twitters staff count has felt bloated at ~7,500 employees and I can’t help but think of “rest and vest” clips from HBO’s Silicon Valley, especially during Covid WFH.
On twitter a couple days ago it was said they're laying off their whole data security team.

^ this. Feels like this shoe really hasn't dropped yet, just mentioned on Twitter in a thread or two. Overall this is the most shaken I've been in the crypto space in a long time; this last week or two. The unwinding of giant firms is behavior of degens, not institutions. Add bear already + macro economic / political issues, and crypto thus far has blown it proving "drought tolerant" to the world around it. I'm still long on blockchain, but right now doesn't feel so great.
I check comments first for this reason. Skipped reading.
It was beyond reckless on Nate's part. He was a darling in the space, had a punk prior to this side hustle, and just blew himself up - not in a good way.
It's well known within the space.. in total he made ~18 ETH from this side hustle.
As someone who got into BAYC during mint week, I knew it was 2021's version of CryptoPunks, but still couldn't have told you it would surpass X amount in value.. Doodles, MoonBirds, freakin' Goblins... surprised nearly every time.
Silly. He was the face/favorite/twitter voice of OpenSea during his employment there, and he blew it for what.. 18 ETH in "fast" gains?
As someone very active in that space, he went dark after the OpenSea incident and it's not widespread that he started something new. This is also news to me.
Beyond fascinating about Anshe and I appreciate you sharing.
I've become a pretty visible artist in the NFT space, and want to wear my startup hat again in web3. Have ideas I'm doing. Would love to connect with with solidity and dApp devs
Don't like calling out things, but Sophia with GirlBoss got lucky.
Do they accept NFT projects?
How did you confirm miner identity??
