Blockchains are trapped in the path dependence of scaling onchain execution. We just released some of our thinking on native offchain compute. With a protocol opinionated about offchain infra, you can just do so much more. More to come.

@roshanpateI I just asked my company if they can decrease my salary by $1,300 next year. I use it as extra motivation to grind harder. This is why you’re poor.

As much as I love the "I'll handle the business side" meme, I've begun to realize that the 'business side' in startups is actually damn hard, building tech is def challenging but often the tougher challenge is figuring out distribution, hiring, how to sell to customers, etc.

It may just be me but I miss having time to just think and learn about things I find interesting. I feel like it's so easy in college to get caught up in the constant noise of midterms, clubs, events, etc., that we forget why we're here in the first place: to learn.

until college, we’ve always had measurable or “objective” metrics of success like gpa, the college you get into, etc. i’ve noticed that this causes so many students to solve for local optima when starting our careers, by optimizing for measurable metrics like pay and prestige

didn’t think about this earlier gas on blockchains doesn’t account for purchasing-power parity across countries. 0.001 ETH is worth a lot more in India than the US, for example maybe that helps with the rise of country-specific blockchains and the use of “free” chains like BSC?
