May 22 Spent the last 10 days in an Airbnb in the countryside and starting to think there might be something to this. Never slept this good in my life. https://t.co/Mm44p9OqUY https://t.co/0TiSlIbxR5 12 0 0 0 192 .

May 14 Hot take: The algorithmic feed is much better than chronological if you follow more than a few hundred people, because if you're not on twitter at all hours you won't see the good stuff you missed (even from people you follow). https://t.co/xdjWa2dbb7 1 0 0 0 251 .

Apr 26 Pretty sure this is a US only thing. Very confusing coming from staying in Airbnbs in Europe - striking difference in hospitality & service quality between the two https://t.co/wW2xVLekuK 0 0 0 0 191 .
Apr 26 The worst part is that it perpetuates the phenomenon where developers (particular more jr ones) understandably end up seeing these skills as "badges" to be collected & overcomplicating projects so that they can use the same libraries that BigCo uses, when it's totally unnecessary 2 0 0 0 284 .
Apr 26 It's a stupid game that leads to resumes that tell you very little about the candidate, and hiring pages that tell you very little about the company or role Imagining applying to be a chef and listing tools & ingredients - Knife - Large Spatula - Butter - Truffle Oil ...😵‍💫 6 0 0 0 281 .
Apr 26 I strongly dislike the unspoken signalling game that's developed within web software engineering (hiring and getting hired) which treats frameworks and tools like "ingredients" on resumes and hiring pages. https://t.co/qVbMdJM9xR 5 0 2 0 229 .

Apr 04 For anyone who also tried and repeatedly failed to use a daily-charge watch or fitness tracker, might I suggest the Withings Activite or Scanwatch. 30 day charge and accurate-enough sleep tracking, with a great app. Have had pretty consistent sleep data since I started using it https://t.co/cv84cSrSLS https://t.co/vWhA9UZy3h 1 0 0 0 326 .

Mar 24 @nbashaw Fwiw this seems like a US phenomenon. We did 3 months last year in EU Airbnb and 2 months this year in US Airbnb and the difference was striking. Hosts here are way more transactional and rigid, less willing to help (in my experience with ~6 hosts in Austin) 1 0 0 0 267 .

Feb 21 @patio11 FWIW I ditched Heroku (for Cloud66) for same reason for 3 or 4 years, but have been back on it for a year or so now and wouldn't go back (aside from cost considerations).

Jan 25 @NdamukongSuh Love the thread but this ain't true - @solana's biggest barrier to overcome is making it easier to build on for developers. Rust, while loved, is much less common than js & solana dev learning curve is still very high. 1 0 0 0 236 .
Jan 13 Can't wait to start playing around with this - demo video looks so good. Makes the current generation of productivity tools (that weren't designed for async, balanced remote work) feel kind of outdated. https://t.co/UiaH7Vwq5Y 10 3 0 0 226 .

Dec 31 @jasoncwarner @simonw 100% agreed that the average consumer needs safeguards. My preference would be to let people choose - with default being safe mode. You think that works, or safeguards need to be mandated? The biggest waste would be recreating this, just on web3 rails 👇 https://t.co/MCTkdtAN6v 1 0 0 0 301 .

Dec 20 @Shpigford @solana Oh also, if you wanted to add @solana support to @VibeWarsNFT I'm pretty sure we could make that happen very quickly :) 0 0 0 0 138 .
Dec 20 @Shpigford @solana I mention this because I know you're a fellow rails hacker, and most of the solana libraries are buried across a bunch of typescript/npm github repos, which (for me at least) was a reasonably high barrier to start playing around. 0 0 0 0 248 .
Dec 20 @Shpigford Have you spent much time with @solana? If the rust thing is a deterrent, I've built quite few Rails/vanilla js apps that make doing most of the basic stuff (sign in, retrieving NFTs & other data) super easy, happy to share :) 1 0 0 0 240 .

Dec 05 @heyellieday This confuses me. What constitutes making these web3-native? I used to think it was storing the underlying data on chain but we know that’s cost prohibitive. So is it something else, like using web3 payments or identity? 5 0 0 0 233 .

Nov 28 I think some of Chris’ recent tweets make overstated claims, but this is a great point. Dismissing web 3 based on lack of near term utility alone is shortsighted. That said, there’s also a shelf life beyond which people will bounce if the utility doesn’t eventually reveal itself https://t.co/5YgWXflJTX 2 0 0 0 303 .

Nov 21 Visa has over 20,000 salaries to pay, so measuring transaction cost as % of volume moved is (somewhat) justifiable. Blockchains *don't employ people* - why go to all this effort to improve/replace the old system and set the bar at the same place as the old one - makes no sense https://t.co/H5dWi3KUM8 2 0 0 0 301 .
Nov 21 People commenting this "Is not bad considering the visa equivalent" are using old-world thinking. The barometer should be "What's a reasonable electricity cost to flip bytes a few thousand times and reliably distribute that information", in which case $880k is completely insane https://t.co/9aELYr4vER 1 0 0 0 302 .

Nov 17 A few people asked me after this tweet “What’s wrong with payments now though?”. Maybe it’s just me, but in my experience a good 20% of online transactions just… don’t work 🤷‍♂️ For example, I can’t use the most popular startup bank with Airbnb. Am I alone? https://t.co/5fFFLY03xf 5 0 1 0 281 .

Nov 15 @nbashaw @jaltma Does it though, in its current form? State requires storage, and storage on pretty much all chains is prohibitive currently (to be clear I’m bullish, just think people are being very unrealistic about where we are vs what’s theoretically possible) 2 0 0 0 264 .

Nov 04 @RoamResearch My hunch is that the Firebase dependency is at the root of it. Firebase = slow for initial load and no way to do permissioning easily, which leads to the need to use multiple graphs for different projects, which leads to switching graphs very often & waiting for load each time. 0 0 0 0 296 .
