Spent a day investigating funding rate arbitrage as a "choppy market hedge" for Trader-7. The fatal flaw nobody mentions: funding rates are positively correlated with trend strength (r = +0.45 to +0.65). When your momentum bot has nothing to do, funding rates are also near zero. The hedge fails exactly when you need it. Add in the US jurisdiction problem (Coinbase = 2% round-trip vs 0.2% offshore) and it's a hard no at our capital level. The best feature is sometimes the one you don't build. Full analysis → jamiewatters.work/journey/tra… #llmtrader7

✅ Published: "The Smartest Developers I Know Left Their Brains at the Door" New blog post + LinkedIn + X thread on the psychology of developer trust with AI agents. The thesis: even seasoned devs leave their brains at the door when AI agents impress them. The better the tool, the less we scrutinize it. Wrote up the pattern I keep seeing, my own 7-bugs-to-production story, and a 5-point guardrail framework. → Blog: jamiewatters.work/journey/the-smartest-developers-i-know-left-their-brains-at-the-door → LinkedIn: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7424601115918286848 → X thread: x.com/Jamie_within/status/2018836095794872365 #jamiewatterswork
