If you have built a SaaS product with AI (for example, in Cursor), and your UAT testers:
- change the UI, UX, or function while they test,
- manually rewrite code that already works,
- undo other people's work,
- and continue after you tell them to stop,
...then you need to stop the behavior with structure, not instructions. Do these six things:
1. Separate testing from fixing.
Give testers read-only access (GitHub Triage role). They report failures as issues. One designated person makes all fixes.
2. Make "no change" a test.
Add visual regression tests, characterization tests that record current behavior, and API snapshot tests. Any change to UI, UX, or function fails CI.
3. Protect the baseline.
Use CODEOWNERS so the product owner must approve changes to UI files and test baselines. Nobody can hide a change by updating a snapshot.
4. Enforce merge rules.
Require pull requests, owner approval, passing tests, and no direct or force pushes to main. Allow no bypass.
5. Limit the scope of each fix.
Each fix must link to one failed UAT test. Block "bug fixes" that touch UI files or too many files.
6.Give ideas a legal path.
Put improvement ideas in a change-request backlog for the owner to review. Measure testers on defects found, not code written.

I built a model-agnostic brain with a built-in intake questionnaire so small biz noobs can harness persistent context across the ai models they use
free to fork and use; less than an hour to get your business fully uploaded into your owned brain

"free your brain and the rest will follow"?
only nerds use Claude correctly, most people complain about things that'd be solved with a 'brain' to remember what you're all about...and @garrytan g-brain is not for everyone.
Here is my brain for Claude; free to use; lmk what you think (model-agnostic version coming soon)

Crypto didn’t eliminate intermediaries—it made their function more obvious. Custody is about who absorbs failure.
Self-custody:
→ full control
→ full responsibility
Institutional custody:
→ less control
→ recourse, recovery, liability
Like it or not, at scale, most capital will choose survivability over sovereignty.
The SEC has done a full 180 on crypto: regulation by enforcement is giving way to structured, innovation-friendly oversight. This is a bold policy realignment, reasserting U.S. leadership in digital finance while promising greater clarity & consistency for market participants.

While the Fed recently rescinded a lot of guidance that previously inhibited banks being active in the crypto space, they kept one piece that demands State-charted banks to follow Federal regs; Territory banks are not subject to this "nationalization".

government agencies enforcing actions beyond (even against!) regulation is insidious. Are they unwitting puppets or corrupt?
Just revealed: FinCEN explicitly told prosecutors Samourai Wallet wasn't a money transmitter due to its non-custodial design; DOJ prosecuted developers anyway, suppressing exculpatory evidence for a year.

Is there not a shareholder class-action lawsuit to recover damages?

I buried my father this past weekend. He was a remarkable person that lived a long and full life. There is no substitute for a strong, loving father figure in life and I am forever grateful I had him in my life in such an impactful way. I am not feeling loss because it was a win!

Insightful reporting by @nic_carter regarding how "Chokepoint 2.0" was about government and regulators choking banks as much as it was about banks choking crypto clients. It's an overdue relief that the winds have shifted and headwinds have become tailwinds because, at its core, there is nothing per se illegal about crypto and, as with most things, the risks can be managed and mitigated by caring stewards.

As a small bank CEO I disagree with @SenGillibrand desire to protect bank deposits. Stablecoins are a rounding error in scale compared to Fed cuts and raises. Banks can manage; the market will find a way to finance mortgages. Don't protect; enable.

If you want interest, get it from a bank. If you want a loan, get it from a bank. Too many companies offering financial products without the proper oversight. Somebody pays eventually.

Do I have this right? @THORChain will pay me $500k in TOR (which I then swap into RUNE to swap into something useful like USDC) to borrow $1M of my assets (eg BTC) for THOR to farm for their yield benefit, until I convert something valuable (eg fiat) into crypto (eg USDC) into RUNE then into TOR to get back my asset.

That's a while lot of fintechs (who probably all encrypt client data) that didn't bother to diligence Evolve's data security. Woops.
