@matthew I joined Farcaster about 6 months ago (maybe less) and before Farcaster I was never on any social media - just a reddit guy and lurker. So alot of the users (almost all) here I've only engaged with during that time period. im an onchain newb that happens to be always onchain - what advice do you have for new folks who are joining farcaster for the first time especially if they do not have any building experience, and what are you most optimisic about when it comes to the future of farcaster?

@matthew on top of that, Im interested to know what your experience was prior to Farcaster? where did you start building first and what brought you to Farcaster?

I would approach FC like you would any other tight-knit community. It's not impossible to break in but it also takes work to build relationships and recognition. On being a builder, I don't think you necessarily have to be coding an app yourself—could be a newsletter, a podcast, an app, and so on. It's about taking ownership over something you're working on, talking about it publicly and personally, sharing your thought process and emotions, etc. And on the future not sure—but obv I want FC to win (whatever that means, don't think it's clear at all). Frames are the major innovation still IMO, but it's not clear yet that FC will capture the long term value of the idea. Lots of other apps / protocols that could implement something similar and likely will.
