In the shiny, often insular world of web3 and tech, the word "building" gets thrown around a lot. It conjures up images of brilliant minds hunched over keyboards, forging the future, disrupting the old guard. You see it everywhere – conferences, podcasts, threads – everyone's a "builder," and it's celebrated as this heroic, groundbreaking endeavor. And a lot of it is genuinely innovative and pushing boundaries. But while these digital architects are getting all the applause, countless other people are out there "building" every single day, often with far more tangible results, and nobody's throwing a parade for them: The architect designing a skyscraper that will stand for a century. The engineer laying down the infrastructure that keeps cities running. The farmer nurturing the land. The teacher shaping young minds. The chef creating experiences with food. These are all acts of of genuine "building," yet they rarely get the same kind of rockstar treatment as someone launching the latest DAO.

Good question. Perhaps the people building outside of tech could be more outspoken? Because this is not really a practical problem, rather than a perception issue. What do you think?

Idk, i presume there is more known within those communities, but they aren’t here. Fwiw to me the ethos in web3 is “just keep building” without accolades, bc the outside world will give you none.
