A while back, there was some discourse on Cardano Twitter about how AI could replace the highly skilled node developers working on Cardano core or alternate nodes. While AI has been hugely transformative and accelerative, it simply isn’t at a place where it can produce a these engineers. Without expert guidance (and even with it), software produced by AI only asymptotically approaches the quality or confidence needed from a blockchain node implementation. Without expert guidance to evaluate, steer, and tease apart the requirements of such a node, an AI is doomed to fail.

(Note: If you haven’t seen, I’m largely off Twitter, except to occasionally stay informed and mirror blog posts like this one to my audience.)

This serves as an aggregate vote for multiple ongoing governance actions. Given pressures on my time, I am not writing a separate extended blog post for each, and my justification is shorter than you may be accustomed to. My apologies.

On November 21st, 2025, Cardano suffered a severe degradation of service that lasted roughly 14 hours. This blog post serves as my independent record of what happened, my assessment of how serious it was, and my assessment of how the network, chain, and community responded to it.

I am voting YES on the Stablecoin DeFi Liquidity Budget with hash e5643c33f608642e329228a968770e5b19ef5f48ff1f698712e2ce864a49e3f0#0.

This justification serves as a batch justification for my votes on the 39 treasury withdrawals in 2025 administered by Intersect.
