A few days ago I arrived to Hong Kong. It’s my first time here, and I’ve always wanted to go ever since I watched Rush Hour 2 - one of my favorite movies of all time. (side note: have there actually been any good comedy movies release over the last decade? I honestly don’t remember … Continue reading Left Bali, now in Hong Kong

The future of coding will just be telling a computer what to do in plain English (or whatever language you speak). Prompting will become the new coding, and hand coding will only only be used to intervene when the AI fails. We’re currently at the stage in the AI cycle where AI is becoming pretty … Continue reading When AI Can Execute, Your Job Will No Longer Be Necessary

Personally I think USDC will be fine in the short to medium term and remain in the 94-98c range. There will likely be volatility, but my guess is that the low of 87c is already in and I doubt it’ll drop under 90c again (excluding the odd whale dump) unless we see some other black … Continue reading USDC Thoughts
