Was the lead engineer at NeoPets (10/2000 - 11/2002)

Focused on scaling (30m+ users), security (hackers), but also built guilds & games

After NP, had some success/exits as founder/cto (+ many lessons), 30+ 😇  investments

Love builders, helpers, and of course, Farcaster

Feel like a trip back to Neopia? 🙃

thank you for taking the time to read through all that, Charli! And for the tip! 🫶

if there was anything specifically you found interesting or you care to dive into anything deeper, would love to chat!

definitely crossover to web3.. the incentive systems that drive human behavior haven't changed (yet)

types of personal drivers:
- achievers (those obsessed with completing tasks)
- autonomy / self-expression
- connecting / relatedness

and many others, but NP also combined a constant stream of daily content as well

RSTLSS is stunning and brilliant, btw. I went through the site/intro yesterday.

very interested in the mechanics that kept people coming back daily, especially getting people personally invested enough to get over the barrier of learning to code, learning to use photoshop - both intimidating for a noob. I’m sure some important lessons there that can be applied to consumer web3 adoption!
