Agent mode in vscode is awesome. Best of both worlds. Let the AI do the coding but also fix it quickly when it hallucinates. It’s like delegating feature tickets to a junior dev while allowing me to focus on reviewing/merging and architecture. I also find it easier to get the thing I want by making specific prompts than vibe coding the whole thing. Plus I still have an understanding of the code and can keep eye on security/privacy. I just implemented fiat currency selection in StashPay this way. Also asked the AI to sort the listed currencies in the UI by global usage to reduce the time users need to select their desired currency. It sorted them by global demand and forex market volume. Such a powerful tool to get high quality results with a quick iteration cycle.

Love this. Rick Rubin on creativity... “If we’re all thinking the same thing, it’s boring. What makes us interesting are the differences.” https://youtu.be/ABTbvfkYKBg

This is one of the most beautiful documentaries of self-discovery I’ve seen. James’ story resonates with me since I hit a similar wall in my mid 30s. Definitely worth a watch if you’re looking for inspiration: https://youtu.be/ZC7R1qpRm4k

Should I ask him about Lightning and MTL regulation?

“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.” Fyodor Dostoevsky

I’ve deleted my Telegram account. I will attempt to focus on using Signal. Please reach out there 🙏🏼

Love this! Signed up and donated completely privately to an organization. The in-app wallet with preconfigured mint is really good too and might just become my daily driver. nostr:note1svhmp9m0n64lxqh47kasw8j7sqqxn628rzqxg7wl380t8uqrs0esqyuanj

The Spark api and developer UX looks super clean. Excited to try this out: https://docs.spark.money/wallet/developer-guide/create-first-wallet

One thing I noticed after I completed my coaching training in 2022 is that I went through an identity crisis. I had trouble asking for money to coach people because my identity and worth was tied to writing code. Once I let go of the limiting belief that I could only create value for others by writing code, the resistance to ask for money faded as well. I also learned from experienced coaches that the value for clients is actually higher when you charge more money. Clients show up on time, more prepared, and committed to making a change when they paid a meaningful amount before a session. They simply got more out of it. They weren’t paying for my time; but for their own growth. It was just my ego standing in my way. I believe engineers are going through a similar identity crisis with AI. I feel the same resistance towards adopting AI tools as I did when learning to become a coach. But what if the value we create as engineers isn’t in the ascii characters we type on a screen, but in our creativity and our desire to solve customer problems.

“If you’re looking for a call to action, then I give the same advice to both humans and companies: Switch to chat. Ditch completions. Stop writing code by hand. Learn how validation and verification work in the new world. Familiarize yourself with the space, and follow the state of the art. Stop whinging and turn this into an engineering exercise. Stay on top of it. You can do it.” nostr:note1mv8ldgtca9w3ymz239fen3sc3s0nf2l5sp97hx60ljcd3qrty0gsmu9t5a
