I think the role of the Software Engineer is evolving into a Product Engineer. LLM tools have made writing code easier than ever. The real bottleneck isn't implementation anymore - it's deciding what to build and how the UX should work. That's why I've been spending more of my time learning design and product skills. The most impactful engineers will be the ones who can shape products, not just ship features.

You don't have to withdraw to fiat to take profits. Next time you want to "cash out": 1. Swap to $USDC (on @base) 2. Lend on @MoonwellDeFi or @MorphoLabs for ~22% APY.

I'm not sure how long it's going to take, but I truly believe that one day, a billion people will unknowingly be onchain in one way or another - whether through social, financial, gaming, or other platforms. I think @base will play a major role in this, much like how @coinbase has onboarded millions to owning their first crypto. I also believe that having world-class developer tools will be crucial to enable developers to create incredible onchain experiences - similar to how Google invested heavily in Chrome to enhance the web browsing experience, creating a flywheel effect of more people using the internet and, in turn, using Google Search.

Lately, I've been onboarding friends to DeFi on @base who have invested in crypto for years but have never truly used it. Watching the lightbulb moment when they realize they can lend and market make with their own money, anytime, is amazing. DeFi is a game-changer. No licenses, no approvals, no massive capital needed. True financial freedom.

Where we're heading with the onchain user experience: End users won't have to acknowledge, think about, or even know about gas prices when interacting onchain. Enabled by sub-cent gas fees and paymasters, gas fees will be abstracted away and handled on the backend by developers and dapps. The new standard will be dapps covering all gas fees for their users, just like how users don't pay for website hosting costs.
