Hugo Montenegro (@hugo0) • Hey
I build AI & web3 stuff - currently building Peanut Protocol 🥜🥜🥜
Publications
- Our calendar is so whack
New Years should happen on the day the solstice happens (so, today!!)
We should also figure out the rest of it. Best proposal I've seen is make 13 4 week month days, with an extra free day start of year
Feels like an ancient legacy codebase
- copious amounts of caffeine
nightcore music playlist
a 95% sleep score on my whoop
santa claus laughing in the distance
it's a good day for getting things done
- I get soooo much cold email spam. Feels great to be able to respond with something useful for once 😂
- If you don't have CTRL+S bound to `git add -A && git commit -m 🚀 && git push` , are you really a builder?
- Does anyone else find it endlessly annoying to update docs on gitbook? Especially for small things like a typo. Half the time I just don't bother because the friction is just so high.
- I'm looking for open source wallets that are friendly towards PRs. Know any good ones?
- gm
- Only a few more hours to go and I haven't farmed all my Zupass frogs yet 🥲
- gm 🌞
Ever mix coffee + black tea?
- I got gifted an Echo Dot yesterday. Have been trying it out, incredibly frustrated at its uselessness. I cannot fathom how Alexa is still as stupid as a 2016 chatbot. Meanwhile, modern LLMs essentially pass the Turing test.
(Amazon spent $10 billion on Alexa last year)

testing out simultaneous post to Twitter/Lens/FC
- Write tests for your code.
don't do it because it makes your codebase better, do it because going from "2 out of 15 tests passed" to "13 out of 15 tests passed" is fking satisfying 😩🥵
- 🗼🥐🇫🇷
À bientôt Paris!
I'm back home from a jam-packed week. Two hackathons, little sleep, lots of people to meet, an insane space (h/t @sozuhaus.lens) to stay at, and many croissants to eat.
Was an absolute blast 🫡
Now back to buidling.
- Can't actually believe they're advertising these dumbass headphones
- gm ethcc
- It's Sunday, take some time to relax and read this absolute masterpiece: https://skunkledger.substack.com/p/superrational
- Recently got an invite on farcaster
What's the lowdown on Lens vs Farcaster? Technically, how do their approaches differ?
- I've been pretty inconsistent with going to the gym lately. As a sort of substitute, I'm doing a set of pushups / pull-ups / planks everytime i finish one of these bad boys:
- Finally managed to log into lensbird @punkess.lens
And kicked out my evil namesake @shugo.lens in the process 😎
- We're raising! And we made a tiktok video for it (seriously)
here it is
- WE'LL ONBOARD THE NEXT BILLION USERS TO WEB3 WITH....PEANUTS?!? 😮😮😮
Let us tell you the story of how we convinced 50 web3 power users to switch to Ambire Wallet with @peanutprotocol.lens payment links and 🥜 at #ETHDenver
Read along
1/5
- I've been on twitter for the last 4 years. I just now reached 1000 followers.
I've been on Lens for a few months. I already have more than 500 followers.
You guys rock ❤️
- Langchain is insane; exciting and scary at the same time. It's basically putting a LLM in a loop. Very scary.
Please read through the following output when prompted to generate a hello world python file.
(only human input is on line 17)
- Late night hacking at ETH porto 🇵🇹
- How do i discover just now that there's actually a second floor at @eth.lens_porto, AND THEY HAVE FREE WOOD OVEN PIZZAAA!
- What is land.philand.xyz? Almost half the people following me recently have that in their bios
Please enlighten me :)
- Gm anon 👋
This morning I tried @peanutprotocol.lens to easily send crypto with a link 🔥
Nice work @kkonrad.lens & @hugo0.lens 🌿
The fastest user claiming this link get 10 $USDC: https://peanut.to/claim?c=3&v=v3&i=513&p=MTTUMA0tLrh3BOHa
- Ever tried sending $ to your frens, but it was a pain in the 🍑? Sent it to the wrong address, or on the wrong chain? Maybe they didn't want to disclose their wallet #, or they just didn't have one yet?
🥜 Never again! 🥜
With Peanut Protocol, you can send them a *link*, and that's the payment! We are a fully decentralized, non-custodial protocol, working on the new way to send tokens.
Lots of exciting things coming for the Protocol, so stay tuned!
- I made the grave, grave mistake of interacting with mainstream Twitter today
Never again. Staying on Lens 🙈
This is my Twitter replies now:
- Just learned today that me and @kkonrad.lens won $5k at the ETH Denver hackathon! 🥳
Covered the flight expenses lol
- Hello to all the new people following me 👋😊
Quick intro maybe so I can get to know who you are?
- Spent the last 5 days at a hackerhouse in Denver with some very big brain zk people
In case you're curious, here's what people talked about
- femboys
- the REAL value add of blockchain is skipping military school
- TEEs are not inferior to zk because they "are also complicated"
- 36 hours and one canceled flight later, I've finally arrived at ETH Denver

- LinkedIn posts are so vapid and insubstantial, they could be replaced by ChatGPT and we'd all be better for it
- Little ask to the Lens community:
I'm building peanut.to - any feedback?
Thoughts? First Impressions? Use cases you can think of? Thanks 💜💜💜
- D4qubxe51P_oRJ_AI1t21yhhZUpQ7p4uDmsz7fiAeRKtIOgUnNcikJjubsuIeHCfYF9eRZvB8Y0L8n79wgquBw==
- We're working on making some Filecoin x Peanut goodies
What design do you like the most? 🤔
- Finally made a link3 profile for Peanut Protocol: link3.to/peanut
I wish I had another Lens handle for Peanut though 😭🥜
- You don't need to be solving a "👖pants-on-fire🔥" problem to be successful or even become a unicorn.
Notion wasn't groundbreaking; Google Docs, Evernote, and million others existed. It was just a bit more convenient.
Now they're worth $10b +
- Wish I had lens handle #56565 - only 4 numbers away 🥲
- Pushed a new Dashboard for Peanut! No more lost links because you accidentally refreshed the page anymore :)
Plus, now you get to see the status of links you've sent!
https://peanut.to
- Is there any simple way to get a second Lens handle? I want to try my GPT-Twitter bot https://twitter.com/roboticHugo on Lens, but don't want it on my main account (my lens posts should always be human-generated, not deceptive AI).
How could I get a second Lens handle?
- My little weekend side project:
Make an AI version of myself! 🤖
HOW:
- Use Twitter API to get all tweets/replies of people I follow
- Use AI (GPT or Googles T5) to generate "AI Hugo" replies
- BONUS: is there a Lenster API I can use too?
If you don't want robo Hugo in your replies, simply block @roboticHugo (Twitter)
or reply/dm me
- Any good people to follow on Lens? Right now my feed is mostly low effort image posting, it sucks.
Show me how good Lens can be. Who should i follow? ☺️
- Worrying and reaching out to investors is dumb. It reeks of desperation.
Build something cool, and you'll have all the investors you could want
(investors are like cats: don't chase them if you want them to come)
- I remember a conversation a few years ago (2017ish) on HN where another commenter was extremely skeptical of any real industry use cases of AI. I argued they already existed and would explode soon.
It's funny to think of that discussion now in 2022
- In the land of decentralization,
Where cryptography reigns,
We're free from central control,
Our privacy maintains.
With code as our protection,
We can transact with ease,
In a world that's fair and free,
Our secrets never cease.
