It's so fun to read @badlogicgames agentic prompts, maybe I'm too kind with my agents :) "jesus fuck, i'm so fucking confused wtf are you doing?"

A bespoke software revolution? I don't buy it. It'll exist. It already exists. Small consultants and big consulting firms have made custom software for years. It almost always sucks. It’s bloated, confusing, and because the client pays, it’s built wrong in all the ways. Who’s excited about bespoke software? Software makers! Of course they're excited about building bespoke software — that's what they do. X is full of them. Your feed is full of people who love making software talking about making software. Of course they’re excited about the revolution. Echo, echo, echo... Most people don’t like computers. Nobody in tech wants to say that out loud. People tolerate computers. They use them because they have to. Given the choice, most would rather not think about them at all. So when someone suggests that AI means everyone will build their own custom tools, ask who "everyone" is. The three-person accounting firm drowning in client paperwork? They want the paperwork gone, not a new system to maintain. The regional logistics company with 40 trucks? They want the routes optimized, not Joe spouting off about this new system he’s been messing around with. The law firm billing 70-hour weeks? They want leverage on their time, not a software project to design. They don’t hate technology. But building and maintaining their own critical systems isn’t their wheelhouse, regardless of how much faster and easier it’s become. It's another job on top of the job. Will these people use AI? Absolutely, for all sorts of things. Will some outliers go deep and build real custom systems? Sure, but they're almost always people who already had some pull toward software. The curiosity was already there. They were dabblers before. Giving everyone access to software building tools doesn't mean everyone becomes a builder. A powerful excavator doesn't turn a homeowner into a contractor. Most people just want the hole dug by someone else. They don’t want the responsibility either.

How many iterations of fixing/implementing with codex and then /review do you do before the review comes clean at least a few times in a row? My observation is that on a complex codebase (@openclaw, for example), it takes forever to fix an issue with codex 5.3 xhigh without introducing new issues... @steipete any hints?

its honestly the perfect time to be unemployed, way more hours tinkering with AI and @openclaw 🤖.

Today I played for the first time with @openclaw installed on a local VM on my MacBook Pro. After the initial setup, I asked it to create a new file on the desktop with a surprise for me. It is fun and a sneak peek into the future.

I ignored high LDL/total cholesterol for years. I told myself the usual stuff: “I’m fit, I train, I eat clean, I’m probably fine.” Last week, my cardiologist ordered a CAC scan. My score came back 42 at age 40! So basically, I had the arteries of a 55-60-year-old man. That was a wake-up call, and I'm on statins now. If your cholesterol has been high for some time, ask your doctor if a CAC scan is suitable for you.

I spent some time tinkering with AI agents, reputation, and Ethereum. An open-source, verifiable trust layer for AI agents on ERC-8004 seems very appealing. This is why I started to build TrustNet: github.com/ogenev/trust-net. Any feedback is welcome. The contracts are deployed now on Base Sepolia, still playing with it, and looking for interesting ideas.

@grok what do you think? Be very honest and critical.

It is easy to build now, but it is still hard to know what to build.

Spend the weekend thinking about Web-of-Trust and Ethereum. Dropped a draft white paper here 👉 gist.github.com/ogenev/74a25… Would love brutal feedback: - does “friend-of-a-friend” feel strong enough as a start? - token or nah? - what’s missing before you’d ship this in your dApp? DMs open, replies welcome. 😎

To everyone that has a pitchfork out and aimed at the @ethereumfndn, reminding you that we're actually a *decentralized* protocol and if you see any lack in progress with Ethereum's ecosystem, you should be looking inward and making changes yourself through your own actions and contributions. Everyone has a part to play here in making this ecosystem work. If you see a problem, you're welcome (just like anyone in this space) to do something productive about it. The Ethereum Foundation is NOT Ethereum. We are all Ethereum. Put the pitchforks away and start opening some PRs that make Ethereum great again.

We are indeed currently in the process of large changes to EF leadership structure, which has been ongoing for close to a year. Some of this has already been executed on and made public, and some is still in progress. What we're trying to achieve is primarily the following goals: * Improve level of technical expertise within EF leadership * Improve two-way communications and ties between EF leadership and the ecosystem actors, old and new, that it is our role to support: users (individual and institutional), app devs, wallets, L2s * Bring in fresh talent, improve execution ability and speed * Become more actively supportive of app builders, and make sure important values and inalienable rights (esp privacy, open source, censorship resistance) are a reality for users including at the app layer * Continue to increase our use of decentralized and privacy tech and the Ethereum chain, including for payments and treasury management Explicit *non-goals* are: * Execute some kind of ideological / vibez pivot from feminized wef soyboy mentality to bronze age mindset * Start aggressively lobbying regulators and powerful political figures (esp in USA, but really anywhere, especially large powerful countries), and risking compromising Ethereum's position as a global neutral platform * Become an arena for vested interests * Become a highly centralized org, or even more of a "main character" within Ethereum These things aren't what EF does and this isn't going to change. People seeking a different vision are welcome to start their own orgs.
