The sorts of convos we don't have are things like this

Long drawn out tedium about rollup infra and liveness with multiple founders chiming in

This is a network cold start problem as none of the above ppl are here

Nor do i think the existing audience is receptive to this type of convo

Or stuff like this

Nobody here is even using or has heard of gmx

And few ppl here write solidity 

So again this is a topic that idt can be had on fc

Solidity is the worst programming language I have ever used in my life. I don't care who in Ethereum tells me the opposite but it's obvious to anyone that has worked with good compilers and other programming languages.

@fede_intern a lot of recent exploits seem to be either auth based (e.g. key compromise) or math errors (e.g. calculating a + b = a + b + epsilon, and then looping)

these seem like pervasive issues no matter which smart contract language you'd use?

Im the guy that posted all those factory memes once

ty, this is a helpful perspective

i think the general pushback i want to give is when ppl like @linda ask why (on twitter) ppl aren't coming over, and the answer is complicated but mostly boils down to "because the content here is not for me"

as for "what the content actually is", well, idrk how to describe it well 

i think this place mostly behaves a lot like reddit (except w/ early facebook style game/tip spam interspersed)

ppl share memes, life stories, life updates

and sometimes u have professionals or experts chiming in

but idt it's really done a good job (channels are sorta dead) in bringing together ppl who are all good at some discipline Z in the way that subreddits to

It's definitely an issue but I also think it's a square peg into a round hole kind of a problem. 

Currently this is the way the network is and the only way to influence it is by bringing in niche content. It doesn't need to get a ton of engagement to be valuable and it could just be sharing interesting convos on Twitter here for more people to see or surfacing something that others wouldn't see because those post are getting buried in the Twitter algo.

That's how I view my roll at least because yeah it's not gonna be a lot of founders talking solidity shop because this isn't general what happens here.

but I think most devs here have basic knowledge of solidity + come one, gmx is one of the most famous one / OG

+ plot twist

chief shitposting officer @builders-garden 🌳 • built /farville, /acidtest, checkmates, /ufo ⚒️

didn’t see anything here tbh

yea probably most of the experts (who would be able to discuss in a proper way) it’s not here yet

surely the expertise here is about something else yea

I agree that in theory some of the prereqs for having such a discussion exist

But then why didn't the discussion happen here?

(Pls link me to threads if they did bc I'd follow such ppl!)

Also fede is working on an eth client and some l2 stuff

He's entitled to his own opinion on pls
