Things an LLM autonomous agent might want to do crypto: Buy a domain, pay for hosting, manage a treasury, buy APIs (gpt3/4), take votes on pull requests, pay people or other LLMs. I think crypto + stablecoins could be great for this use case. Should I quit my day job to build this?

Simplified timeline of my last 11 years:

▪️2012 - 2013: College
▫️2013 - 2014: No College

▫️2019 - 2021: No Job
▪️2021 - 2023: Job
▫️2023 - 20??: No Job

Whether dropping out of school or quitting a job, don’t be afraid to take the leap!

Would you quit your job and become a Warpcaster influencer for 100k a year + benefits?

5 months ago I quit my job with no idea what I’d do. 

All I knew was I wanted to be full time web3! 

I didn’t know what or how, but I can feel it - I’m closer than ever 🙏🏽

Best decision ever made! 

Freedom is the goal ❤️

I just quit my corporate job with nothing lined up. Anyone else been here?? Terrified yet liberated

I quit my job today. Focusing all my attention on Building Something New (TM).

New chapters are very exciting and a little scary.

On another note - anyone in the EdTech space?

Any old World of Warcraft players here? What did your play style tell you about your entrepreneur style?

I’ll go first

I had a max level character of every class with maxed out proficiency in every profession.

Solopreneur

A Priest because I value teamwork and support but probably more accurate to your question was just my crazy obsession playing 100 hours a week and even quitting my job to play more.

parents of farcaster, what’s the most profound thing your kid(s) have said to you?

When my kids were young and I was struggling to balance it all, I once pondered out loud “maybe I should just quit my job and stay home with you guys” and my daughter said “but why mama? You have a great job” 🥺 totally shook me and changed my perspective

🗣️Casters! I need your help.

What is s/t you wish you could dare/ bribe/ petition/ crowdfund another Farcaster user to do?

eg: 
@dwr opens a WeWarp (Warpcast co-working space)
@ted legally changes her fiat name to “Ted”
@j4ck DJs for @cameron + @grin FarCon23
etc

Word! Good reminder that I should start writing again. It's so rewarding to find out your words had an impact on someone. Got a few messages like this one back in the day  https://i.imgur.com/SnL2rke.png

The world is so small! 🤯 I just checked your blog post and this is the one that convinced me to quit my job and take a sabbatical. I was thinking of taking a sabbatical for some time, before reading your post. Then somehow, I discovered and liked your post on LinkedIn and took it as a sign to finally take a break.

Adam Wathan, a software dev, launched his first ebook to a list of 1500 people and 4000 Twitter followers. The earnings from his ebook gave him the confidence to quit his day job and work on his own ideas fulltime. 

Now, he's more well known for creating Tailwind CSS.

I quit my job last June with the dream to start a company and work for myself. I love working on small teams with high trust, no-bs, and a focus on craft. 

After a few months of doing absolutely nothing and spending lots of time on farcaster, I really came to love the people here on this community. Smart, friendly...

How many of y’all have ever worked with someone who never went to college?

Quite common in 🇨🇭 , as we have "Lehre" whereby people enter jobs from Highschool to learn in the job (+ continuing job specific schooling) rather than going to study. So, yes 😄

Low transaction fees, artist-centric community, f(x)hash, the immaculate vibes  and legacy of early HEN, Objkt doing an excellent job with curation and discovery, the <12 hr bounce-back in the community after the founder of HEN rage quit and shut down the largest marketplace/platform in the ecosystem at the time, etc.

throwback from '15. 1y after I had quit my job. 

$1 coin I picked up from the street was the only money I had made that year. 

hard times. zero regrets. all the dogshit that wore me down made who i am today. not perfect, but good enough for me to love myself. https://i.imgur.com/fsKKa5p.png

depending on who you follow on a social app within the first few days, you either stay or quit.

💡idea: farcaster members directory

recommend recently active members filtered by projects, companies, jobs based on their farcaster bio.

so i can browse all of farcaster team, moon birds owners, iOS engineers, etc.

a tiny story about my first-ever iOS app from 2014, and why i quit my job.

"after yet another pitch to my parents, my brother Jimmy Kwon told me:

".. these family pitches won't get you anywhere. you gotta go to SV and go all in before it's too late."

i want you to comment one thing that led to the most change for you in the last 12 months

startup round?

a book you read?

new good habit?

won a lottery?

tell me what changed you the most in the last year

A combination of: quit my full-time job at Google, began pursuing my web3 startup full-time, and raised capital

Offering my first ever nft collection of a song I made shortly after quitting my job in 2022. Free mint! @tomu get yours first :D

what's your proudest achievement of 2022?

What's the best advice you can give to a 22 year old?

“My best career advice: at every job you should either learn or earn. Either is fine. Both is best. But if it's neither, quit.”

I focused on “learn” my first years in tech: Google Summer of Code, NBA internship, etc.

GM!

what is a pivotal moment that changed the trajectory of your life?

in 2014, i quit my job and flew out to SF to jump into the startup world - didn’t know anything. didn’t know anyone there.

been “in the arena” ever since 🔥

Shipping a new feature for @perl  today, by weaving together my pre-startup/SF life stories.

📸 one minute - how it started

Stay tuned!

gn. I've been thinking about quitting my web2 job for a while now. Booked a meeting room today just to update my resume for a web3 opportunity. Once you've seen what's happening in web3,(even in a bear market), you become unemployable in web2 :)

what tools are startups using for observability these days?? datadog kinda expensive, currently looking at Prometheus/grafana but I’ve never used either lol

i've been trying out sentry's performance monitoring and profiling, seems pretty good so far ...

also been using logtail (thanks to @df's recommendation) - not as good as datadog (and lags quite a bit lol) but gets the job done 😅

What do they lose if GPT / Bard fail as a result of their proposal? 

If it’s nothing or very small, then I’d say they have no skin in the game.

Well, some of them would lose their jobs and/or a lot of money on company stock, because there's quite a few people from Microsoft, Google, and Alphabet subsidiary DeepMind who are signatories.

Interestingly, the only signatory who has a former or existing direct relationship with OpenAI (AFAICT) is Elon.

🎂Happy birthday @op - my brother from the same mother. 

He's the one who pushed me to quit my job and go to SF back in '14. 

We are lucky to be brothers calling each other out on our own bullshit, and push ourselves to reach the next level while enjoying life.

Taking a walk and reflecting on my past 8 years since I quit my job and flew to SF.

Ups and downs. Breakups and makeups. Love. Dreams. So many “could have”s and “should have”s.

No regrets. If anything, I gotta be kind to myself.

taking risks may be the very essence of life itself - driving/flying anywhere, quitting one’s stable job for a moonshot, to getting married and having children.

it’s hard to steer away from the proven, safe path, but everyone needs a healthy dose of risks to truly feel alive.
