How long before your friend group is part AI? @sheila_warren won't put a date on it, but she's clear on one thing: once we flip, we won't flip back 👇

@sodofi_ Thank you for everything you've given this community, Sophia. Cheering you on 💙

some personal news: this is my last week contributing full time to the ethereum foundation. 4 years ago, i did my first ethereum hackathon and have been working in the ecosystem ever since. i loved that you could make money contributing to open source while meeting people from all around the world. and that these opportunities were accessible to anyone who just showed up. ethereum proved what was possible. but the reason i love ethereum is also the reason im leaving. my mission as a crypto devrel was to empower builders, so that everyone, everywhere knew that they had a role to play in shaping the future of technology. i still believe in that mission, and believe that the best way for me to act on that promise is to share that story with the wider world. (more about what that means soon) i’m still extremely bullish for the future of ethereum. it’s truly one of the strongest, most tight knit ecosystems ever. we’ve literally traveled the world together, gone through the trenches, and lived in the same hacker houses for months on end. ethereum is special. and even though i’m no longer contributing full time to EF, i’ll always be part of this community. big thank you to every single person i worked with over the last four years. from @FundingCommons, @gitcoin, @Celo, @ethereumfndn and more. you’ve shaped my views, my values, and left me with a radical sense of optimism that i’ll carry forever. as for what’s next… stay tuned. will be sharing more next week!
