It's never been more fun to be a builder; definitely seeing this 2-slice team success here at 776

Nano is helping me and @nmrtn improving herself to increase activation. Aware of our first user feedbacks, understanding her context, she can decide what will have most impact.

i gave an AI agent a wallet, then built the control plane for what it can actually spend.
blacktea: open-source spending controls for agents that pay online. it asks before it spends.
one library, 3 interfaces: SDK, CLI, MCP. x402 today, Stripe Issuing / SEPA / AP2 sketched in the docs.
different rails for different jobs. the governance layer above them stays the same.
building at the crossroads of crypto, payments + AI is fun. probably early. built it anyway.

“For every $1 spent on software, $6 are spent on services.”
If you’re a builder lost in the blurry AI software landscape, this Sequoia article has some gold.

This was a cool listen. I think Cloud+AI is increasingly making the @levelsio -style model of a scrappy solo serial micro-entrepreneur viable, allowing one person to spin up and run a number of companies that generate income, possibly well into billion-dollar valuations.
Here's my conversation with Pieter Levels (@levelsio), self-taught developer and entrepreneur who designed, programmed, shipped, and ran over 40 startups, many of which are hugely successful. In most cases, he did it all by himself, while living the digital nomad life in over 40 countries and over 150 cities. This was a fun and inspiring conversation!
It's here on X in full, and is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else. Links in comment.

I left Google DeepMind to build a non-profit research lab focused on helping to fix climate change ASAP. Very open and collaborative. Everything open-source. Focus on practical, scalable interventions, starting with forecasting solar PV. jack-kelly.com/blog/2019-01-…
