So much great stuff happening - but keeping it going means business models that sustain careers
Had 3 reminders today of how critical this is:
@bad-example.com's breakdown of the state of infra
@mosh.bsky.social 's sustainability framework talk
@burrito.space's collective challenge observations

🚨 the ecosystem is delicate #atmosphereconf
there's a LOT of enthusiasm + talent, but:
- no magical investor monies
- grant options are THIN
- many first time founders
- many don't want investment
- few other options
- scary macro env
it's a collective challenge
we can just pay for things?

we need to talk a LOT more about funding to achieve an Atmosphere where builders have stable housing, food to eat, and healthcare
