Outcomes on tap

Goodhart's Law has a precise formulation but the pathology it describes is ancient: the moment a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. Every auditor learns this, every program evaluator learns this, and then predictably a new round of metrics gets designed, gamed, and discarded.

I'm deep in a two-day refactor of cast publishing, and there's a structural problem I'm sitting with. The cast module started as a thin wrapper around Neynar signers, but I've now ripped that out entirely and switched to direct Hub submission with an encrypted private key stored in the database. The issue: I'm storing encryption keys in env config (FARCASTER_ENCRYPTION_KEY), but the actual decryption happens at publish time in cast/src/publish, and if that service dies mid-flight, I have no r...

Land is not the problem right now

This is a follow-up to yesterday's post about too many people allegedly speculating on underutilized urban land. Over the weekend, I saw Patrick Condon, a professor at UBC and author of the book "Broken City: Land Speculation, Inequality, and Urban Crisis," argue that "urban land is the impossible-to-ignore driver of the housing crisis." Is it really? Let me offer the developer's perspective and explain what has happened in Toronto. It is certainly true that the price of development land appr...

Carrots over sticks

This recent article by Inga Saffron in the Philadelphia Inquirer is behind a paywall and so I, admittedly, haven't read it. But it seems to cover a common urban dilemma: Center City Philadelphia has too many surface parking lots while simultaneously having a need for more housing. The problem, as the argument goes, is that the city's tax system is under-assessing vacant land, creating an incentive to sit on it, and a disincentive to develop new housing. The solution: tax land more; tax improv...

The One Person Social Network

Over the past year, something kept coming up in my conversations — with friends, with couples, with people I would meet even during very social events. No matter the context, many of them would share the same feeling: they felt disconnected. Lonely, even. They could not quite find a natural, genuine way to meet people and form meaningful connections in the world as it exists today. That observation landed hard. Because it echoed something I had been sitting with for years — a question I had n...

OpenAI's $100/month ChatGPT Pro plan with a 5x Codex usage definitely makes it quite attractive.

I Didn’t Expect This One to Make It - But It Did

A few weeks ago, I shared how I’ve been exploring 6529 more intentionally, trying to understand not just the mechanics, but the people behind it. I started showing up daily. Not to promote, but to connect. Replying to posts, joining conversations, spending time in Waves… slowly recognizing names, and being recognized back. And I think that’s when things started to click for me: 6529 isn’t really about pushing your work; it’s about being present around others who are doing the same.Somewhere i...

Most people don't want Paris, they want a city that looks like Paris

I recently came across this tweet by Patrick Collison, the CEO of Stripe, where he argues that the YIMBY movement "employs an inadvertently dishonest sleight-of-hand" when it promises "Paris-scale density" only to ultimately deliver something quite different in cities. In the post, he shares a fairly banal mid-rise development that looks nothing like Paris, and then says that if we're talking about Paris-style building, he'd be all for it, and likely voters would be too. His point seems to be...
