We need better wallet & asset management from self-custodial wallets to stop the proliferation of scams & phishing. It's insane to me that wallets still allow this. Examples: - Automated mint wallet management - Automated NFT and/or keypair-based authentication delegation

One of the most important skills to develop as an engineer is knowing when to be scrappy vs. when to rigorously build highly future-proof features. Critical not to get into the extremes either. Execution is always key, but requires different methods at different stages.
