Fun fact, I once had a Queue-It bypass that worked on all sites powered by a specific e-comm platform (it was a popular one).
It worked by inserting thousands of . characters at a specific point in the URL. For some reason, it would completely bypass the queue.
Made $$ with it.

I AM THE WORST SOFTWARE ENGINEER EVER. THE FACT I DONT KNOW HOW TO BYPASS THIS IS INSANE.

This is beautiful, brings a tear to my eyes.

I built a script that gives me a fake phone call to escape boring and awkward situations. I bought a virtual number from @twilio and saved it as one of my relatives.
Whenever I feel stuck, I just tap a button called “ESCAPE” on my phone. It sends a request to my remote server. The server runs a small Python script which schedules an actual call. After a minute, my phone rings and plays a pre-recorded audio.
I simply say “sorry, I’m getting a call” and walk away. A tiny project, but it has saved me so many times 😅

Low liquidity coins on automated market makers with exponential price curves are shitcoins.
You can call them Creator Coins, Culture Tokens, Internet Capital Markets, Music Tokens, AI Tokens, or Memecoins, but it won't change the toxic fundamentals.
It's a zero sum PvP game of musical chairs. Nobody leaves with more than they came with unless someone else is losing. And retail gets rinsed by snipers, bundlers, coordinated pump and dumps, FNF groups, and industrial scale autonomous trading bots.
Repeatedly pretending you don't know that is disingenuous, delusional and at best naive for anyone who's been in crypto for more than a year to suggest otherwise.
You can't just rename "minting dogshit with no liquidity and putting it in a Uniswap pool" to Creator Coins and expect the outcome to be any different without at least trying to alter the tokenomics, or at least some kind of flywheel, to prevent the obvious outcome.
99.99999% of tokens like this go to zero with haste, anything that survives for more than a year is an extremely rare exception to the rule.
I"m quoting Coop directly here, but really I'm talking to everyone making new token launchpads and shipping the same product over and over and over again promising different results.
Also talking to anyone buying these coins and professing that, "Bro. I swear bro this time it's different. They're culture coins, creators bro. I swear bro, this time it's different. No no, there's an AI. You don't get it. The token is for a song and you're early to the song. No bro trust me. This is the future. It's not like literally every other coin with the exact same tokenomics. This time it's different bro. Buy my bags bro please. Please buy my bags. I am crying, pissing, and shitting in my pants bro trust me."
And to be clear, sometimes I like trading shitcoins. It's occasionally fun to light money on fire trying to hit a 20x. But I know what game I'm playing. And I'm not flooding the timeline trying to convince anyone it's not a toxic hypercasino hellscape.

Never embed "product concepts" into code, specially smart contracts.
If it's an escrow call it an escrow.
If it's an oracle, call it an oracle.
Call it whatever you want when marketing it externally, but introducing marketing terms inside code is just horrible devX

I gave a talk at ETHCluj on Total Obtainable Value (TOV)—arguing it is a far better metric than TVL.
If you're from DeFiLlama or any other TVL tracker, consider switching to TOV. 🙏

Im so lucky i managed to win a Core Hero and get out when I did.
Holy fuck this guy did literally everything but actually bring value to holders.

Pixel Vault promised the Marvel of Web3.
It raised $100 million.
Launched tokens and comics.
Even promised a game backed by the DAO.
Today everything is gone.
Here’s how Pixel Vault collapsed🧵

I occasionally think about how this guy had some of the worst takes I’ve ever seen on this app.

This article is pretty close to my perspective on AI. Language models aren't useless, but it's pretty clear now that their applications are far more mundane, sparse, and with marked limitations than was being told at the start of 2023.

I’ve seen some insane shit on the TL this week, but this has to take the cake.
Mind you, same dude who said “0.1B is not a lot of money”.

It’s true, some of the largest gains I made during my peak Solidity learning era was trawling Solady and the Solidity documentation.
Master this, master the EVM.

For Solidity devs, abi encoding/decoding is THE thing to master
u literally learn tons of crucial concepts while mastering this:
- little and big endianness
- intricacies of calldata
- data offsets
- Storage of static vs dynamic types
- function selectors & argument encoding
- optimization of calldata for gas
This levels you up as a solidity dev in this vibe-coding era.
---
The topic is extremely hard to explain, but a few creators/writers have done an amazing job of it.
dropping a few top recommendations
1. Mastering ABI Encoding for Solidity by @cryptojesperk ( this is the best one and top 1 recommendation )
- youtube.com/watch?v=upVloLUw…
2. Understanding ABI encoding by team @RareSkills_io
( the nested array calldata part in this article is the best part )
- rareskills.io/post/abi-encod…
3. Mastering Calldata by @0xOwenThurm ( best part is decoding a real complex calldata )
- youtube.com/watch?v=WkyyT0pm…
4. Reversing the EVM Raw calldata by @DeGatchi ( not super detailed, but a good read )

We retrieved every contract on Ethereum.
Along the way, we found the exact date when 16,000 unique contracts were deployed (the most in one day), the EOA with the most deployed contracts (2.9M), and much more.
This is how we did it.🧵
(Spoiler: It’s 69,788,231 contracts!)

No tooling is even in the same discussion as Foundry.
If you’re STILL not using Foundry, you’re hindering your output rate as an EVM dev tbh.

Foundry changed the game. You write tests, you learn solidity. No better way to grind xp. Cast cli is just freaking cherry on top. Thank you for the last 3 years.
