FOMO on the ATmosphere

he capital T is not a typo. Although the builders and more ‘involved’ call it simply the atmosphere, I, being an outsider still, feel better emphasising the A and the T in there both for myself and the uninitiated of my so far non-existent (but hopefully future) audience members.

I haven’t been as excited and wanting to build / contribute to something as I have lately been about AT-proto.

It just makes sense. And there has been a lot of activity going on in the area, with some really passionate people involved.

Some of the best blogs, a whole lot of early internet energy by actual builders who are doing it for the fun of it make up the scene. There is a whole lot of open greenfield where you come and build something that has the potential to be adopted by everyone.

You just have to sit down and build.

I have been actively thinking about shelving some of my side-projects so I can instead build on the atmosphere. I just would not be happy later if I didn’t. I have ideas.

Anyway, I will keep it short since I am very late posting today.

I travelled to India today, and even though the weather is much different here, it already started changing for Berlin as well. Hopefully for the better this year.

See you next week! 🌆
