I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.
We just bought the domain Stan.Com for $750,000 😳
When I first started Stan, I was so broke that the best domain I could afford was StanWith.Me 🫠
Eventually we got Stan.Store and that was a huge win.
Stan.Com tried to charge us hundreds of thousands of dollar. But we were a tiny company barely making $500k.
I still remember thinking, "lol I will never pay that for a domain".
So there's something really special about this moment.
The most special part though is that Alyssa Williams, our first ever business hire, got the deal done.
Alyssa's been with us in the trenches since day one, back before we had anything.
It's a beautiful full circle moment for all of us.
It might sound silly, but I'm realizing buying Stan.Com is a beautiful symbol of grinding for years, and then seeing the fruits of your labor manifest into the real world.
So this is your reminder that you can start with a shitty domain like StanWith.Me, no money, and tons of people doubting you.
And one day - you can have an incredible team, incredible mission, and a 4 letter .com domain ;)
Onwards and upwards Stan team!

I don’t care what you say.
NFT’s are coming back,
& there’s nothing you can do about it.

Christian Horner shouldn’t return to Formula 1.
He should start a new Formula.
Formula V10.
Get Bernie and Ron involved.
Bring back cigarette sponsorship.
I’d watch.

Im officially doubling down in the NFT space.
Looking back on the past 5 years, I realize that this journey has introduced me to some of the finest people I have even encountered, some that I now consider family while at the same time enjoying some of the finest art ever produced with you all. Yes my “investments” here are down but the communities I have been blessed to be a part of are priceless to me. If you are thinking of leaving reconsider. You are wanted here ❤️ @desultor
