Shape what gets built and the value it creates.

a16z wrote a well thought out piece expressing the why and the promise of web3 as a design challenge requiring strong foundations in 3 aspects

It's been a fun 5 years journey in some amazing companies. It's all heads down and getting things done.

And it's been a while since I wrote and publish publicly.

It's a really good time for some reflection and for sharing mistakes I have made, successes I have had, the cool people I have had the opportunity to work with and all the fun stuff I have done.
