Really enjoyed this conversation with Amjad Masad. We talked about Replit being a great example of a company that materialized from a founder scratching his own itch, how Replit is lowering the barrier to entry for developers around the world, how Replit is helping developers get paid, the emergence of AI, whether or not AI is going to kill us, the importance of bitcoin within the internet stack, and how Replit plans to implement lightning. I think I may have even purple pilled him successfully.

When I worked on Stack Overflow, I had a hell of a time explaining what I did to my wife’s grandfather (a Wyoming rancher and WW2 vet). On the 5th or 6th attempt to explain it to him, he pulled me in close and said: “I’m fucking with you. But remember, everything of value comes from the land.”
I’m not there yet, but getting closer.

Starting to think animated avatars are a mistake. The novelty is gone and y’all are giving me a headache.

Nostr was a surprise. But the bitcoin maxis are rampant.
Just had the same experience at a Texas baseball game.
Great night watching Texas beat Indiana (college baseball). Ran into two students sporting Nostrica t-shirts. Gave them a 🤙 but didn’t get an npub. Hooke’em. Pura Vida.

I’ll miss that truck terribly, but 4 days into baby #3 existing, and two in car seats and it just didn’t work.
How bad is the USD? I just sold a 2020 Tacoma TRD off-road back to the dealership for $800 more than I bought it 3 years ago. I made 0 improvements.
We got her fam. 🤙
