My goal is to build a safer, fairer, and better future with tech. It's the reason I started my career in this industry and why I'm on Farcaster. At 18, I got my first dev job at /morpho, and for the past ~1 year I've taken the time to explore and work on my own projects. Going forward, I'm looking to join a team and work on something impactful. I'm ambitious, motivated, willing to work extremely hard and push myself to become the best I can. My tech stack is React, JS/TS, and Solidity. I'm looking for a full time position, ideally as a front-end or full-stack dev. I'm based in Germany, but able to relocate anywhere in EU, UK, or US without a visa. For more details about my work: benbassler.com I’d appreciate any leads, advice, or feedback — my messages are open.

career wise i think i'm a bit cooked on delayed gratification psychologically, esp. of the variety of like working/iterating on a startup for multiple years in stealth and/or without traction. not sure if i'm capable of doing that, but to an extent the ability to do that is what is required for outsized success would posit this is somewhat consistent in the "brain" of our generation, esp with startup / build-in-public / twitter founder "cracked" culture becoming so widespread, it is v contrarian and perhaps psychologically difficult to quitely grind and stay focused for years on something you believe in. think many founders currently in 20s prob compensate for this by getting validation via attention, while they wait for validation via market (the real thing). shayne coplan good exception imo.

building a habit of immediately researching random questions on your phone with AI is extremely fun.

Building on Farcaster this year has been the most fun I've had in my career so far. Joined FC in October 2023 but only really started being active on here when frames released in January. It's been so special witnessing how this space has evolved in 2024, we'll consider these the 'golden days' at some point. Excited to continue building and evolving with you all in 2025! 💜

Happy new year! 2024 was a 10x year for Farcaster (with some ups and downs). We're thankful for each and every one of you who contributed to building this special community. Here's to an even bigger 2025.

My 2c: the incentives inherent to the farcaster ecosystem are not sufficiently aligned to prevent this from happening again Denying this means believing in “don’t be evil” as opposed to “can’t be evil”
