this is an amazing opportunity for a junior / early-mid level engineer! I worked for Ryan at my second full time job and I grew SO MUCH as an engineer and a leader under his tutelage. seriously, I cannot vouch for this strongly enough.

this is a great post! (and as an aside, I love that people in web3 are asking “what can our work learn from cities?” which feels very different from the 2010s web2 refrain “what can cities learn from our work?”)

one of my filthiest american maneuvers is that I will always use the beer glasses for drinking water in the german airport lounges (the beer glasses are much larger than the water glasses, and like any good american, I just love to hydrate)

I’m visiting Belgrade soon — first time! For anyone who’s been before, what are some things that you can’t miss? Anything you wish you knew before you went?

when I was at eth denver, I overheard someone define being "crypto native" as "you don't have a 401(k) because you put all your money in defi instead" (I think I prefer Jim's definition instead) https://x.com/0xJim/status/1831743529522983300
