- @christina.lens thanks so much for sharing this. I connected with this article strongly on most points. 🥰
I had my first job in IT in the late 90s, I was young and didn't know the value of what I was involved with but it was a magical time that feels similar to this. What's happening now, especially in a space like Lens, feels like another chance to play, experiment and shape the future of the web. That feeling that "the concrete hasn't set" and that "anything is possible" is so invigorating. I feel super fortunate to be a part of it, especially at a time in my life and professional career where I know what it's worth.
I'm all in on 2023 being a year of experimentation and invention around "ways of relating online". When I left tech I worked largely in community development, education and not for profit spaces. I always had a nagging sense that these worlds could come together in a healthy way but struggled to find the space to experiment with it among the behemoths that were calling the shots and changing the rules of the game to their advantage constantly. The opportunities presented by web3 tech open doors to create new paradigms of relating online, I'm passionate about developing those.
I love that Lens is "a thing with which we can talk about the thing"! We're already seeing the super generative reality of that. I love being in the mix and adding what value I can to that conversation.
There are such a fantastic bunch of humans with a diverse range of talents, seeking to navigate this journey together. I'm here to support, encourage, experiment and most important try, fail and try again with you all. 🌿
