some concerns I have based on recent Claude experiences: - if you don't have taste, Claude may make it harder to develop it - collaborating between several high-agency developers is now very very hard

really enjoyed this read, the article does a great job of describing society's gravitation towards high-agency, risk-on behavior as the career ladder becomes less and less rewarding. it's something I'm seeing everywhere now and it's not just what's commonly referred to as "gambling." I'm seeing careers unbundle and starting to resemble a self-managed portfolio which involves a mix of: salary contract work small internet business investments/trades wherever someone believes they have edge. - it's not everyone's a "trader," it's more people trade. - it's not everyone's an "entrepreneur", it's more people run their own businesses - etc while the expression varies, it boils down to the same mentality the article's describing. how 20 year olds today and even more so in 10 years approach starting their careers will look foreign to someone who started theirs 30 years ago

it seems to me that forced inclusion/exit is dangerously close to being decentralization theatre. sure it exists; unclear if it actually benefits any real use-case that users care about. Forced Inclusion is easy to do, but unclear of the actual benefit. Forced Exit is clearly beneficial, but complicated for the average user to actually do (even for me lol) e.g if the market is melting, i want to take my funds out **now**. to that end, it seems to me that the only real benefit of a rollup is: 1. using eth as the base-layer for trust-minimized communication across rollups (e.g. superchain, prividiums, etc.) 2. having access to eth's state and being able to compose with it. @signetsh is clearly the leader in that, with @zksync prividiums a not-that-close second Centralized Rollups are here to stay and they can offer a superb (imho) tradeoff between security & simplicity, while also offering a plethora of customizations (@OPLabsPBC is leading here w/ customized block builders) We need to viciously work on making the rollup use-case undisputable. Tempo should be a wakeup call. We need rollups to be: 1. easy to customize 2. easy to spin up 3. clearly performant 4. offer practical inheritance of Ethereum's security (meaning it's trivial to force exit)

Your existence in this industry is on an as needed basis. I am tired of reading entitled tweets authored by bozos who didn’t make it after 4-8 years of just existing. Or tweets of how unfair the industry is to left handed bisexual werewolves. You are competing with the most intelligent motivated people on earth in the most pvp industry in existence. If intelligence, hard work, and time in the industry were the recipe for success @_prestwich would be the emperor of the multiverse . After 8 years of full time employment and 11 protocols launched. I still have not seen financial success. Please shut up, no one is listening.

run-ahead sequencing is frequently misunderstood, even by devs that work on it! The transaction does not /ever/ need to be posted to DA at all in order to be final. Sequencer txns are final as long as the sequencer doesn't equivocate

> users shouldn't feel like they're leaving ethereum traditional rollups are just separate chains @signetsh is the first rollup to extend ethereum while fast async interop is neat, rethinking rollups is uncomplicated and we've done it

happy "i accidentally killed it" day to all those who celebrate

join our merry band of misfits we're init4 the tech

consider conditional cross-chain transactions: if a transaction doesn’t land as intended, you can hedge within the same block atomic cross-chain host rollup bundles complex multi-leg strategies think bigger

we're literally init4 the tech

is there an l2beat type product for vaults?

I'd like to think it's forgetfulness but a lot of people just don't understand fault proofs don't prevent incorrect state transitions they prevent someone from lying about what state transitioned occurred still unnecessary when building a rollup these are separate things

the fabergé of rollups

thoughtful questions by @real_philogy @signetsh is built with opinions question rollup orthodoxy simple > complex

in @JomDarbert we trust

One thing I wanted to say, but didn't get to: Bitcoin is struggling culturally/technically with parasites, while Ethereum is just giving its lunch away to RUs Ethereum needs Rollups. Rollups don't need Ethereum. Except @signetsh. We're too tightly coupled to go anywhere else 🙃

"a good plan violently executed right now is far better than a perfect plan executed next week."

This was a real treat. While you won't get the 2023 era of argumentation, you will get a comprehensive history of rollups as well as a breakdown of all the cool tech that the @signetsh team is working on. Conditional Transactions are awesome.

Signet is the only rollup that is an extension of Ethereum we want to find the right applications and help them build and incubate something that is impossible in any other chain @apriori0x is wonderful and @_prestwich is a legend. grab a treat and dive in
