What Ethereum conference has the most apps? Why are we not building more apps? We already have sub-cent transactions, why do we need to focus on infra right now? I feel like Iām slowly going insane

In apps, 80%+ of the difficulty is in figuring out which apps actually make sense to build. I think this is why a generalized pitch of "we need apps" gets applause from pragmatist types but ultimately leads to no action - if our vision for the world is "WE WANT STUFF HAPPENING ON OUR CHAIN!", that's very uninspiring. Meanwhile, specific categories of apps are starting to do well! Lots of progress in zk identity and zk social, all kinds of interesting stuff in info finance. I think if we want more apps, a more definite-optimist approach where we talk about specific types of apps and what kind of world they will lead to will be much more effective.

Good thing for apps that things are getting increasingly easier to build. Less manual integrations, less needs for audits because there are other components you can use out of the box. I think though there are two key problems still to solve. The first one is that most documentations for lacking quality compared to trad tools. We need to help devs write better documentation. Bad docs => fewer things get build. And second we need to celebrate and push for smaller builds @superanon is a great example, smaller proof of concepts made in days, rather years. Smaller projects, shared wildly, less multi more single use case app but with a twist. I like the manifesto below. Product beats Whitepaper (at least we need a lot more of them) Build or watch it burn (we don't want to loose the edge) Make it matter (make things that make others feel something)
