if you're a builder just getting started on @solana. what you need to know is that this ecosystem is a meritocracy. it's not about who you know, it's about what you do and how consistently you do it. when you work on something cool and talk about it on the internet (especially.

This is the alpha . What makes San Fransisco great is the cultural safety net for founders that encourages them to build fast and fail forward, not the capital. @solana is the first internet native city to successfully replicate and scale SF builder culture.
Founders on @solana are insane. They'll throw advice for free even to their competitors, just to satisfy their inner urge to relentlessly build & help other builders. Bullish on the culture @aeyakovenko and the ecosystem leaders nurtured over the years. π₯.

I will forever be proud of the work we did at buildspace. I had fun every single day working with some of the most talented and kind people Iβve ever met. sad itβs story has come to an end but excited for 100,000s around the world who will carry on itβs essence and will. β€οΈπππ.
I have some tough news. Today, @_buildspace is closing. I wanna be real about everything. Itβs not because of investor pressure, runway, internal drama, monetization, or any of those reasons. The actual reason is a bit more personal. I wrote a letter about it below. I know.

Instead of sending kids to college to spend 4 years of their valuable time in classes that donβt pay any dividends. We should incentivize kids to become fluent in 2 or more of these languages:. 1) English (written + conversational).2) Code (reading + writing).3) Earning in USD.
