His words were a breath of fresh air to me. \n\nYou should absolutely listen to the whole episode but if you want to skip right to this part here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaobajMRpck&t=8240s\n\n(Ps - for those following along in my coding adventures, I recently improved the transcript generation for our episodes and I’m loving how much easier it is now to find relevant snippets and clips from our show. If you want to see the full episode transcript, with speaker identification, check out this link: https://www.gmfarcaster.com/episodes/ep398/transcript and you can search for DAU to find the part where we talk about it, and clicking on any time stamp will bring you to that part in the episode)","images":["https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/9c4b6a0a-1370-46de-6504-6776cf4add00/original"],"links":[{"url":"https://sriramk.com/building-unmeasurable-things","title":"Building something no one else can measure"},{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaobajMRpck&t=8240s","title":"Surprise guest Balaji Srinivasan on Civility, Crypto, and the Network State: GM Farcaster ep398"},{"url":"https://www.gmfarcaster.com/episodes/ep398/transcript","title":"Transcript: Surprise guest Balaji Srinivasan on Civility, Crypto, and the Network State: GM Farcaster ep398"}],"farcaster":"https://farcaster.xyz/adrienne/0x8bcd013c","firefly":"https://firefly.social/post/farcaster/0x8bcd013c43fbe3780e12f2c477fe784f69bf7362"}
