Thankful

I'm still on less than a month at this gig, and we're rapidly approaching the best (American!) holiday, so I want express some gratitude to the community of people who make up the Atmosphere.

I'm just getting to know many of you and you've all been so welcoming to Alex and myself as we kickstart the DevRel program at Bluesky. I've been a part of a great many developer communities, this is by far one of the most inviting.

And I want to give a special bit of thanks to Laurens Hof who writes the excellent Connected Places blog chronicling the rise of the new decentralized networks. Even before I worked here, I followed Laurens's writing and it continues to be invaluable, even from the inside. Laurens also shows how the work of building a better web goes beyond protocol engineering.

Thank you to everyone who sees the potential in what we're building!
