Goodbye NYC, I love you I’m moving out and moving on and don’t know when I’ll be back. I moved (back) here in Feb 2023 when I was still full-time at Ledger. I adopted my first dog living here which has changed my life for the better. The Ledger Layoffs of 2023 is what drove me to get curious and join Farcaster. The NYC contingent was (and still is!) strong and I immediately found incredible people. Huge shout out to @serendipity and all her organizing efforts with /fcny — that was true peak Farcaster x NYC energy and I’m eternally grateful to have gotten to be a part of it. I joined @syky as head of product in April 2024 and tried my darnedest to shift the culture there to be more crypto focused and build a community on here, but it was never fully committed to. A year after that, the writing was on the wall with that business, which coincided perfectly with my newfound interest in vibe coding, which @brenner’s events he organized at Asylum in /williamsburg and the /vibes 7-day-challenge-turned 30 days set me on a new path. /farcon-nyc was so much fun getting to meet even more internet friends IRL. I hosted the poker side event and started a regular poker game at the SYKY office before the lease ended (shoutout NYC Poker Cabal) and now @debbie carries the torch for poker games (fyi). Since then I’ve been building something new on my own and the builder energy and community in NYC (shoutout @slobo.eth and Shiphaus) has helped me to up level and get to a place where I’m ready for the next phase. It’s been a great run back in NYC, due in large part to @farcaster. Thanks everyone for being here. I love you all.
