A little over two years at @0xPolygon , building the agglayer-node. I got there through the @Toposware acquisition.
Back then, agglayer already existed in a different form, in Golang, pretty basic. My job was to start from zero, in Rust, with one thing in mind: it had to last. The protocol was going to change, the product was going to change, and the architecture needed to absorb all of that without breaking. I got deeper into protocols I already knew, learned new ones I hadn't touched before, and put my technical expertise to use while still learning myself.
Today I'm one of the people affected by the restructuring @0xMarcB announced.
I started as a Rust engineer, then ended up managing the team I built. I was given room to push my ideas, backed in my choices, and trusted to decide and take responsibility, on the code and on how I ran the project and my team.
I got to work alongside talented, inspiring people, and @0xPolygon trusted me to build that team. I'm proud of that. Proud to have been their manager. Proud to have watched them grow. I have zero doubt they'll keep going and keep giving their best, even more with the support of @taylanpince.
Thanks to @praetorian and @0xWillButton, who I was lucky to work and learn with, you've been an example to me more times than I can count. There are probably others I'm forgetting, or whose handle I just don't have, but the gratitude is the same.
Thank you @0xPolygon. Good luck with agglayer and OMS going forward.
As for me, I'm taking a few days to process all this, then I'll start looking. If you've got something interesting, feel free to reach out.
We are in the final stages of completing the Coinme acquisition, which will involve integrating that team into Polygon Labs, a move that will grow our organization as part of a broader merger exercise to position Polygon Labs to be profitable in 2027. As part of that process, this morning we made the difficult, but necessary, decision to say goodbye to many of our colleagues as we complete our transformation from operating as a blockchain foundation into operating as a blockchain-enabled payments company.
These changes are about the company we're building, not the quality of the people leaving. A blockchain foundation and a blockchain-enabled payments company do not operate the same way. This transition means changing how we're organized and the talent we need, not just what we build. We chose to move now because momentum like this deserves a company built to run with it. Revenue is strong, stablecoin volume keeps setting records, our customer pipeline is stronger than any of us imagined, and our onchain payments solution went live in record time. The hardest part is that the people leaving helped build every bit of that momentum.
To everyone affected, thank you. You worked hard and believed in what we were building when it was far from certain. We would not be here without you.
We're offering severance and support. If you're hiring, ex-Polygon talent is as good as it gets, and I'll vouch for them personally. Please DM me if you are looking for talent, and we’ll do our best to match you with great talent.

It is frustrating that @excalidraw doesn't work nicely on iPad, but rocks on desktop. I'm constantly switching between two apps. Any recommendations?

I published my Dotfiles (as some requested it) on Github.
I will try to have them up to date, feel free to make PR to do improvement !
You can check that here github.com/Freyskeyd/dotfile…

Some of you asked me for my configuration files for #neovim etc, my GitHub dot files are pretty outdated, I’ll start a new repository with my current setup with everything described to help you. 🫶

First 2 weeks using wezterm in replacement of my long time old friend iTerm2, I must say that it is pretty cool. Simple, easily configurable with file, no unwanted features and developed in @rustlang

I’m going to restart doing live streaming in the morning, mostly me writing code and answering questions if any. I will not accept any criticism on the music tho 😅

Today, we are so pleased to welcome @Toposware, zk to the Polygon Labs team.
Toposware helped develop the Type 1 zkEVM, and are a powerhouse of zk innovation and technology, having made significant progress on zk-based interoperability.

🦀📕 I just finished writing the ninth chapter of my ten-chapter #rustlang book! Almost done! ✨🥳
If everything goes as planned, it should be available before the end of the year, so you can all read it during the holidays. 😊
ALT Screenshot of the O'Reilly website showing a book cover of "Rust Atomics and Locks - Low-Level Concurrency in Practice". The cover has a black and white kodiak bear and a sticker showing "Early Release - raw & unedited". The text next to the cover reads as follows: Rust Atomics and Locks by Mara Bos Released November 2022 Publisher(s): O'Reilly Media, Inc. ISBN: 9781098119423 In this practical book, Mara Bos, leader of the Rust library team, helps Rust programmers of all levels gain a clear understanding of low-level concurrency. You'll learn everything about atomics and memory ordering and how they're combined with basic operating system APIs to build common primitives like mutexes and condition variables. Once you're done, you'll have a firm grasp of how Rust's memory model, the processor, and the roles of the operating system all fit together.
