After 5 years working on Ethereum Infrastructure, managing nodes, and automating processes, I decided to blend that experience with my love for open-source project development:
I'm now proudly part of the @AttestantIO (Bitwise Onchain Solutions - @Bitwise) team, helping them maintain the best Ethereum validator client (Vouch), a slick remote key signer (Dirk), and some of the most widely used open-source tools in the ecosystem.
Our goal: to be the TOP provider in the Staking Business.
2/ The effort is being conducted with open source software options Dirk and Vouch by @AttestantIO.
Dirk acts as a distributed signer, enabling operation by individuals in multiple jurisdictions, & ensuring that no single point of failure can interrupt validation.
Vouch supports the use of multiple client pairings with strategies used to mitigate client diversity risks.

PSA: in light of recent cyberattacks and vulnerabilities, I recommend everyone:
* use a good password manager (1Password) and do not duplicate passwords
* use two factor auth for everything important (not via sms!! Google Authenticator or better yet YubiKey)
* Auto-updates on, and restart weekly so they actually install
* Freeze your credit
* Get an IRS Identity Protection PIN
* Get your cell carrier to give you a port-out PIN or number lock that makes the carrier refuse to move your number without the PIN
You can ask your claude code to audit what on your laptop is out of date and needs updating.
I use Pi btw... and of course I have been customizing it.
To make some changes on the user editor box, I tried a new way of work:
1. I make a plan, then split the plan in tickets.
2. Agents create a DAG in HTML I can use to track everything.
3. I ask an agent to pick up a ticket and then I decide to update the DAG manually or mirror it with the ticketing system.
Saves a lot of mental energy and I prefer it to TODOs.
This example is a simple one, but I had some rough PoCs where a wave has several items, which mean all tickets in a wave could be picked up in parallel.
If you like the page style, it is called Blueprint editor.
Works every time my gut feeling or exp flags an LLM-proposed solution as dubious:
proof read that solution with a <Fable/Sol> advisor subagent. Ask it to challenge it.
If your harness doesn't support subagents, a /handoff + new session do the trick.
Today, I spent 5 minutes with Claude fixing a problem that annoyed me for months.
I SSH into some servers with a Yubikey and kept missing the tap, thus command would hang, then die.
Now my Mac plays a sound the instant the key wants a tap.
Got sick of Antigravity.
Their recent separation of the Antigravity app (kind of Codex) with Antigravity IDE was the final drop in a glass full of disappointments.
Google has really been making poor decisions lately.
I returned to Cursor for an IDE, and I already feel the difference.
Since yesterday, we have merged 4 Vouch PRs and closed 1 issue and 2 feature requests.
1.13.0 is getting close.
Shoutout to @afool41, @AivarasKo, and @0xPatches for the requested bug fixes/features.

How To Make Codebases AI Agents Love:
Own and build the interface of your modules; delegate the module's implementation.
aihero.dev/how-to-make-codeb… by @mattpocockuk
Fun (and maybe hedonic) idea:
A service that rates your codebase regarding how well it is architected for AI agents to work effectively with it, and offers a GitHub badge with the score/result.
You are dangerously risking your ability to stay relevant if you do any of these:
- Write and read every line of code.
- Leave system design, architecture, and security entirely to LLMs. LLMs need to be able to convince you about a technical decision the same way you would convince your CTO.
- Don't control or know how things are deployed on production. An LLM agent must never autonomously handle production infra. Deterministic software and tooling can, but not AI.
You will find success in vibe coding an app or software that runs in production if you can be a PM, QA, and a senior software engineer all at once.
The engineering principles and the product fundamentals remain the same. What’s being redefined are the tools and processes to make them happen.
LLMs are getting better, so perhaps the day when an LLM can be good and reliable at those 3 roles at once is not far, provided it knows more about the business than you do, and that you are willing to risk the LLM breaking the law—or perhaps even worse, outsmarting you.
Trust will become the key currency, and unless we make agents citizens, we won't be able to make them liable.
Get good at those principles and fundamentals, and you will be able to ask the right questions:
"I don't think vibe coding in prod is for everybody. I don't think that fully non-technical people should go and try a business from scratch. I think that is dangerous because they are not able to ask the right questions (to an LLM)."
Watch the video and make sure you understand the picture.

If, while using Vouch, you are noticing 404s in your logs with a similar message to:
"Failed to obtain head beacon block"
We have opened two PRs to address this, out of which one is already merged into master.
You are more likely to witness such logs if you use Lighthouse as your consensus/beacon client, and they are harmless to your Ethereum validator performance.
Still, they are due to some underlying tiny issues we have addressed, and your logs will be cleaner as a result.
Expect these changes in the next Vouch release.

If you feel lost, build something.
A business. Your body. A skill set. Anything that gives you a reason to learn and focus.
Don't worry about choosing the right thing. Don't think about how difficult it will be.
Just start moving forward and you'll find a path that feels right
I started eating sardines regularly. I don’t know if it is the high omega-3 or what, but every time I have it for dinner (250-300 gr), this happens:
- I sleep one hour less that night while feeling very well rested and motivated the next morning
- I feel very mentally sharp for the entire next day
Totally recommended. I have had both fresh and canned (with olive oil).
Feels like a new life hack.
Trying the @Grok app for the first time, I asked @BadRudi when did he lost his virginity, super hilarious. It was with a red panda chick.
There are many personalities and features to keep you engaged. I’m going to play with them and see how useful they can be, specially the kids storytelling ones.
Unpopular opinion:
“AI makes everyone a software engineer” is true the same way “cameras makes everyone a professional photographer”
Mastery and experience require many hours and lots of specific knowledge, sometimes gotten through mentors.
Cooking a lot by yourself can make you a great cooker, but to be a chef you need something/somebody else.
