We spoke to Boxer (https://x.com/0xBoxer) about Dune Analytics (https://x.com/DuneAnalytics/with_replies) and:
I'm in it for the tech
There’re benefits of a no trust environment
Not level one, but level eight
When you have reputation to lose
Code is like spaghetti
There's no big tech scene in Germany
One query to rule them all
The Wild West
The algorithm just wants to fuck with you and keep your attention
Go and touch some grass
Anti-authority and that’s why I like crypto
Information diet
Dopamine systems too weak to stop shits into your brain
Start from first principles
Sound sources
Researchers in Vietnam or in Indonesia
Click farms
Smoke and mirrors
Not so attentive governments
