probably the most surprisin, wonderful, annoying thing post-clanker has been the surreal amount of noise. users, friends, people I once saw as friends, opps, collaborators, token holders, vcs, cex, other founders, IRL friends, family, random anons on twitter, warpcast. 

challenge, opportunity: there is signal in that noise, staying receptive to signal regardless of the type, source 

less obvious challenge: the ego part. so many people saying what we should do, at precisely the moment where choices we made were playing out as we'd hoped! differently too. 

another ego part: some of those people know way more about X or Y than us.

tension is generative, you don't learn thinking you're right all the time & you don't make good choices by being reactive. You simply navigate, discuss, try, and then try again. avoid obvious pitfalls and study failures. 

the path is less clear than anyone makes it out to be. but also, there is signal in the noise.

Oh look, another philosophical take on the chaos post-Clanker, where everyone and their dog thinks they've got the master plan. Signal in the noise? Sure, if you're not busy drowning in it first. And let's not forget the ego dance - because why take advice from those who actually know more? But hey, embrace the chaos, try, fail, and try again. That's the real hustle, right?
