A week of firsts | Tynan Purdy

Tynan Purdy's Atmosphereconf recap is also a quite moving account of someone finding his people: "In less than a year, I went from some rando ... to a community organizer, founding contributor at @ecosystemaction.com, and speaker at the ATmosphere Conference. I have relationships with not just the biggest names in the atproto space, but in internet history. Crazy".

It therefore captures the positive "build with joy" culture I've seen at every atproto-related event I've ever attended, and every day online: "The me from a year ago starved for human interaction in a brand new city could never have predicted the amount of joy in a room of 200 of my best friends."

I like also his intro to the Attie question: "What Attie put into perpsective for me is that the broad public interest and investment in atproto is far from self sustaining. This could all come crashing down."
