I don't mean this in a negative way at all, but there are a lot of people at FC dev day that I didn't realize were farcaster developers before now

Its all a social game, farcaster is basically people reliving high school

Which to be clear I have no problem with, it’s just enough people that it makes sense why people are wondering about the selection criteria

Yeah you’re not the only person wondering this lol, the selection criteria was definitely not “who are the most active devs” its was “who knows who” (which is fine)

it was certainly not the latter, and was never intended to be the who’s who of farcaster devs. it was an MVP from which to learn and iterate on. as such, would love to hear (and it’d be more productive) what you’d want done differently next time, including: announce with X time in advance, make it application-based or disclose selection criteria ahead of time, livestream for those who can’t attend, etc. those suggestions are helpful, otherwise the feedback reads as negative and judgmental without much opportunity to improve. if you’re interested, happy to share more about the story behind dev day and how it was approached and executed in a short turnaround time and under other operational / logistical constraints. before you write off unknown devs who attended, there is value to the ecosystem in hearing from serious devs who may be on the fence about building on FC and understanding and working through those questions together. open to all feedback and suggestions (not so much dunks or digs).

I really didn’t mean to dunk at all with the original post, and I hope it didn’t come across that way. Livestream is a great idea. Announcing the event ahead of time and publishing the general invitation criteria also would help I think. Even seeing “devs from XYZ companies, building clients, or who have expressed interest in building on farcaster in the future” is totally reasonable, I don’t think anyone here has expectations to special treatment by Merkle or anyone else. On my end I was genuinely curious how the selections were made, because there were people invited who are truly not FC devs, and there are tons of other devs building everything from fun frames to full blown clients who weren’t aware it was happening.

you weren’t the one making the dunk. it was @gregfromstl, to whom i was replying. re: attendees who aren’t devs, then they are CEOs of companies that leverage the farcaster social graph and may enable sign-ups in the future and they brought their engineers or CTOs. thanks for the feedback, good suggestions!
