old but good, this book is full of gems and esp. relevant in today’s era, when every which person is trying to get you to believe one thing or another
a lot of insight into claiming product categories for builders too
solid hackathon list, finalizing encode and eth-global this week, convergence (Chainlink) coming up. Likely throwing my hat in the ring for some of these others too

big lesson from zombie movies is that even people organized into a mindless horde with nothing more than biting is enough to topple every govt. and power structure
coordination is the key
The book “The Goal” has been paying way more dividends in this era than I expected
it’s a book about the Theory of Constraints, I read it awhile back as part of lean six sigma training
in a nutshell, most optimizations are a waste of time in a complex system. There can be unintended second order effects that actually reduce throughput elsewhere in the system
what’s better is to identify bottlenecks (80/20 useful here) and focus on optimizing those as you go vs. the entire system
find this is beyond true in the agentic coding era, where I see very complex setups with dubious results
my method isn’t for everyone as I want things somewhat chaotic for creative and quantum leaps, but a method I’ve been using to ship like crazy is just learn as you go, focus on throughput, and optimize repetitive bottlenecks as you identify them
this has served me very well, and I’ve found a lot of the over optimization to be noise
nearly finished my build for the Encode Club hackathon: Polaris
Build your own mandala chart (based on the ohtani method) and track your progress using natural language
good advice, there’s some good use cases for running an autonomous bot
the magic for making a real product that delights users you need some level of back and forth with it, can run your own human muse on autopilot and a lot of creative leaps only come out in a back and forth interaction
made a claude skill for building miniapps, incorporates best practices from the docs
made it to save myself from repetitive copy-pasting across projects
feel free to test and give me any feedback, go forth and cook

big lack of crypto related skills for Claude
shipped out a basic onchain-typescript skill (Viem and wagmi) for making dapps, along with Thirdweb
what else would be helpful for you guys?
I’m thinking at least the basics, foundry, open zeppelin, farcaster miniapps, lmk and I can cook it pretty quick
