this year, I saved $800 in fees by switching my tax return production from a CPA to claude code I first backtested claude code's approach against my returns from last year, and claude got it right and even found a couple things that would have saved me a little in taxes owed 😅 I still paid for my crypto-specific account app (TokenTax, $200) as well as an e-filing service (TaxAct, <$200 for individual & s-corp returns for federal and state), but that was it. For next year, I'd love to get rid of those costs as well. Anybody else using AI to do their taxes?

last night I submitted my most ambitious hackathon project ever it was part of The Synthesis hackathon, which asked the questions: "how can you trust an ai agent" and "how can machines keep promises"? together with my openclaw agent and some support from claude, over the 9 days we built a modular substrate for agentic agreements soon I'll share more about what it actually does, how it works, and why I think that's valuable, but for now I just want to bask in whats possible today for a single person to build over the course of a week 🤯 https://github.com/spengrah/synthesis-hackathon *the protocol infra*: - onchain agreement factory - automated ERC-8004 reputation/feedback mechanism - fully onchain negotiation and agreement state machine (h/t Shodai) - permissions tokens (ERC-6909) that work like onchain UCANs - smart accounts with @hatsprotocol-based auth and ERC-7579 plugins - a mechanism compiler that turns plain-language terms into onchain bytecode - agreement-scoped context graph via Bonfires

pro (n00b?) tip: if you mention the word "hackathon" to claude code, it will assume you will want to take all kinds of shortcuts and cut scope and generally be lazy about what you're trying to ship

so coinbase agentic wallet (`awal`) is meant for ai agents, but it requires installing an electron app to use it? am i taking crazy pills? https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/agentic-wallet/welcome

vibe coding has many of the characteristics of behavioral addiction: variable reward schedules, fast feedback loops, intermittent jackpots, and loss of stopping cues (“just one more prompt”) if you’re experiencing symptoms, dial 1-800-CLAUDED and a vide coded ai agent will absolutely not help you https://x.com/codyplof/status/2025393836004966694?s=46

What are the best ways/tools to collaborate (comments, replies, suggestions) on markdown files? Asking for myself and a certain lobstery agent friend of mine.

The Obsidian-ification of enterprise Hypothesis: as more and more of a company's operations are digitized and explicit-ized (eg decisions/context go from inside peoples' heads to executed by agentic software with detailed logs), the company will become increasingly vulnerable to platform risk and therefore increasingly seek to control its own data and compute If this is true, it will be a decentralizing force: turning companies... - ❌ away from all-encompassing cloud saas like Salesforce, SAP, HubSpot, MS Office/ActiveDirectory, Rippling - ✅ towards on-prem or private and portable cloud storage providers - ✅ towards on-prem or private cloud compute providers
