My flight to Bitcoin Conference 2026 in Las Vegas starts in almost precisely 2 months. It will be my first time visiting that convention, Las Vegas, or the USA. I will arrive very early and leave very late, so that I can spend 10 days in Las Vegas. This feels like a significant step since I walked out of my last full stack dev job. I've been doing a dedicated deep dive into Rust, Bitcoin, Lightning, Nostr and agentic development for the last three months. My plan is to demo an educational Bitcoin and Lightning wallet there - mostly informally. So far, I've remained in brainstorming and planning mode on that, as I am still focused on optimizing my agentic development setup with Cursor. I don't call myself a vibe coder. What I aim to do is "clean agentic coding", which is challenging, because agentic code tends to be quite messy without serious guardrails. Agentic workflows that produce clean, correct, and maintainable code are possible, but it does take some time to set them up properly. Anyway, this is just an early announcement of my plans. There is much more to come. #dev #bitcoin #lightning #agentic #vegas

Getting into Rust and "clean agentic development" as I call it tentatively has absorbed me for the last months - in addition to getting into the Bitcoin, Lightning, and Nostr primitives. I'm planning on turning this first zero2prod-axum project into a CRM for my own portfolio. image #dev #rust #agentic

I just found out that Claude 4.5 Sonnet is remarkably bad at simple refactoring and code cleanup. Splitting one file up into two while maintaining functionality turned out to represent a surprisingly difficult challenge for something that is mostly trivial copy and paste for humans. Amazing! #ai #dev

I feel like I've hit the current limit of agentic development - frustratingly early. I was just trying to add some very simple Playwright end to end tests to a React app with a Rust backend. Even after 6 hours of debugging, the success rate of those tests got stuck at around 20%! So much for the skills of Claude Sonnet 4.5 (thinking) in Cursor. Well, back to manual debugging, I guess. At least this has been a very educational experiment. #ai #dev

Really fascinating and useful report! Especially for those who see a job in the Bitcoin space like me! View article →

Yesterday I tried transferring some Btc from my #Binance account to my hardware wallet. In previous instances, that worked. But yesterday the transaction was flagged as high likelihood of a scam. Outgoing transfers were blocked twice for an hour! I searched for similar stories on Nostr during the last 30 days, but didn't find any. What is going on?

Just found this old post, and think that it's still relevant. Do you think the situation on Nostr has changed since back then? Are there any new insights? View article → #v4v
