what book/ read have you been continuously referring back to in 2022?

Staking Product Lead @coinbase. Built $cbETH. On NFTs before they were cool at RARE Art. Previously: 2x Founder, Wall St, UVa. Phan ⭕️.

Yes, but I suspect people overrate TPS and underrate composability.

Do you think there’s room for non-EVM computing architectures in the future of smart contracting L1s? Or does Ethereum swallow the world? 

What use cases could you see adopting Solana, MoveVM, others?

I'm really enjoying Farcaster, so thank you!

I was trying to understand how can we compete with the network effects of existing networks like Twitter. 

What would you say can attract the crowd here?

building degencast.wtf /degencast . ex-bitmain, binance

Let each client decide their own policies. Like email clients.

I'm skeptical of "one big thing" catalysts. A bigger believer in accumulated, accelerating improvements.

What will be the reason or catalyst for the next mass adoption for web3 social media and other web3 products in general?

I'm not a good engineer, but more generally, build stuff, be willing to listen to feedback, and build more stuff.

Optimize for learning via shipping.

what would you say to a young kid wanting to improve his craft of engineering? build more is a generic piece of advice, is there something you've discovered in your own pursuit of crafting more that you'd wanna share, your observations, anything

Building drones and hacking on 3D renderers.

Internet-scale protocol with 1 billion people using it daily that anyone can permissionlessly build on top of.

Will keep chugging along until then.

wats ur endgame for farcaster.

like is there a point where you guys retire and the protocol is entirely managed by the community. A dao perhaps.

Builder of software and songs.

Is this a react native app? It seems fast but also it is built quickly by a small team so I can’t tell. Wondering for an app I am about to build

For all the things developers can build on top of Farcaster in 2023, what are you most excited about?

Not much of a thrill seeker, but I like backcountry skiing, which has some big downsides if not properly managed! :)

Outside of family, what is the one activity that gives you largest “thriller” in life?

Farcaster is a protocol. Our primary goals are:

1. Get daily active users

2. Build something that we think is usable for developers to permissionlessly build new applications that are highly usable for users

Have you considered farcaster more as an ap, ask protocol?

Injecting social into any app rather than imagining farcaster specific clients ??

What's the incentive to run a hub? Do fc expect devs to hack on hubs like building clients?

what are your hot predictions for twitter in 2023?

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building /faust, more here: /july, web: july.rocks

I think that these are username squatters:

@undefined @undefined @undefined @j-p-morgan  @c9 @undefined @undefined

1. If I wasn't working on Farcaster and I had to do an Internet company, would be working on a Google competitor

2. https://danromero.org/canon.html

3. Define "partner/collaborate" — my bias is to do minimal BD and focus on building a great permissionless protocol that a lot of people are using every day.

1. Apart from social platform, what are the sectors of the Internet you want to work at? 

2. Top 3 books every aspiring founder or someone at management role should read! 

3. Are you open to partner/collaborate with upcoming L1s in the near future ?

For now: gated sign ups + testnet username policy.

Bots, if labeled, are actually good. "Fake" accounts are bad. But once on mainnet, will cost money to sign up.

Most squatting goes away after 1 million usernames I think.

How are you thinking about securing FC against a) bots and b) squatters?

a jiraffe on the internet • nf.td/morereese

2023 will be the year of Farcaster clients, I think!

Which part(s) of FC (ecosystem, client(s), protocol components, etc) deserve the most attention in 2023?

I suspect everything will be some sort of zero knowledge by default in 10 years. (big range, could be sooner)
