The quick money paradox: everyone wants quick money, but quick money is bad even when it feels good Anything worthwhile takes time. Embrace the grind 💎

Sydney Sweeney reveals in an interview that she doesn’t care about the PHP vulnerability because she moved everything to Rust in 2024. “They said the rewrite would take six months. We’re on month 30. We haven’t shipped a feature since, but I’m having a very normal Wednesday.”

the rise of traders as celebrities makes a lot of sense to me most people can't realistically become the next LeBron, but they can learn how to trade from someone who started out just like them that relatability, combined with the potential to make money, creates a different kind of connection between traders and their audiences i expect that to become a bigger part of the social trading

Lots of VCs kindof sound like this: "Your basketball team doesn't have a moat, any healthy human can throw the ball into the basket thingy. " People who have not run companies before don't understand how much the team matters more than some imagined structural moat.

I don’t really understand this … THe traders who make real money are all at hedge funds etc. My friends at citadel Brendan Howard .. millennium etc make 40-50mm a year consistently for years … Very common knowledge that the traders at the big hedge funds make 100mm+ Not a single one of them wants to be w celebrity … even John Paulson etc who made billions as traders only became famous cuz movies were made about them It seems the only “celebrity traders” are the one who made some money deploying rugs on pump fun and posted vlogs spending cash … A top 10 hype airdrop recipient who made $110mm on hype and another 20-30 consistent year after year on his account just bought a 40mm dollar house in palm beach near me. He has like 70 followers on twitter. lol I think this trader celebrity thing is only for people who aren’t real traders. It’s for young kids who don’t know what a real trader is and for them to scam their way to to wealth cuz they couldn’t as traders When I made real money I literally left nyc and moved to middle of nowhere in Midwest and Palm beach house for winter. No real trader who can make money from actual trading has ever wanted to be a celebrity or a content creator lol Nothing wrong with the guys who do.,, but let’s not confuse ?

Spent the last two weeks in SF and NYC talking to AI native law firms, GCs and academics. Here are my observations: 1. Part of the AI native law firm thesis is to build proprietary software that beats Harvey/Legora. But their most cracked lawyers that I have talked to won't even use the internal tool. They prefer their own harness on Claude Code or Codex. 2. Some people are convinced that certain AI native law firms were built just to become RL environments that generate real dataset for the labs. 3. Ex-BigLaw lawyers at AI natives miss working on headline deals (the ones that get you into Legal500 and Chambers & Partners). 4. BigLaw made its money running billion-dollar cross-border deals with multiple parties that agents can't run unsupervised. No AI native firm is doing that sort of work. BigLaw solved it by sorting out multi-jurisdictional licensing and regulatory issues across offices, with precise staffing. AI can potentially do the staffing part really well, but not the licensing part. 5. No AI native firm has a hiring strategy for 10x lawyers. They prefer hiring partners as their salesforce. The best 10x lawyers I know are still in BigLaw. AI natives need software-like margins so they focus on commoditized work that a model + purpose built harness can finish autonomously. And 10x lawyers enjoy doing non-routine, non-automatable tasks in the fastest way possible using AI. 6. The next frontier, if I am right, is full stack lawyers, lawyers who spot a new area of emerging practice and build productized service around that to monopolize a segment quickly (essentially turn your advice into an API that clients can run by BYOA). It's cheaper and easier than hiring partners to buy their client relationships. Specialist practices like tax, ERISA and regulatory have best chance of winning here.

best traders and most powerful fund managers will never even be mentioned on this website many guys with 200 followers posting once per year that would mog every single one of us without even trying people conflate followers with PnL, source of great imposter syndrome for me

Compiled a list of protocols that have shut down in 2026. 82 protocols year-to-date. I've never seen anything like this before.

Well, the Polymarket community is not happy. Polymarket CEO @shayne_coplan just gave a speech at Token2049, and it wasn't what everyone expected. Everyone was waiting for product updates and some info about $POLY. What Coplan said is that NYSE parent ICE is one of Polymarket’s biggest shareholders and is working with regulators on onchain equity. I mean, who cares? Was it a shareholders’ meeting? @Polymarket is losing volume and affiliates. Builders are exhausted by constant unannounced updates and bug fixes. Traders need a reason to stay with Polymarket. Many questions are still unanswered. The main stage was a chance to prove that they hear the community’s needs and are trying to meet them. In reality, the Polymarket team looks completely out of touch.
