Mission
I agree with the mission, but I’d like to question what actual resources has the DAO created to help accelerate the education of web3 developers? I’ve been in the DAO since almost its inception and yet I don’t see any specific resources or content about learning web3. I do notice people in the voice chats from time to time or text chats asking specific solidity or javascript questions but then is that all that we mean, when we say accelerating the education of web3 builders? Have open chats for questions? And if so, then it’s just another Discord server of developers.
I think we need to be more clear about our mission and values. Are we a safe haven for developers who can come and ask questions, or is the DAO about actively producing content and materials for people to actually learn about web3?
If our main mission is about education, how is the DAO helping with education?
Values
Overall our values are just don’t be a bad person. I don’ think they need to be changed.
Goals
- Foster & Build Web3 Tools & Public Goods
This is nice, but if we want to be clear about the purpose of our DAO is it about education, or is it about creating tools for the public good? These are two different things. Public goods and tools are great but we should spend the majority of our time on our actual mission. You could say that these projects are web3 and are created by our community members which helps them grow as a web3 developer, but I don’t think you should weigh community projects over actual educational content. I find more projects in the DAO than educational resources.
For example, the DAO job board. As a community project, it’s nice. But what if it was an educational piece, “How to create a job board in web3” which teaches people how to create their own job board.
I’m not trying to bash the DAO at all. I just think we need to be more specific about our goals here and what our focus should be. If our mission is to accelerate the education of web3 builders then lets focus on the action items that will help with that. Courses, Projects (I know I just talked about projects in the last bullet point about projects), and other learning materials.
If I’m honest with you, if I want to learn about web3, My first thought isn’t to go check out the DAO’s learning material. Because I find it lacks learning material. Currently, I find the DAO more social than educational. Which isn’t bad, but again, if it’s a social DAO then let’s change our mission to that.
