Year of the ZABAL - DAY 159
Don't Take It Personally
Week one is in the books, and what a start. Day 1 we hit start - yerbearserker opened on Empire Builder with one line that stuck, build the foundation before you rush, then Joshua and Plat0x took us into Bonfire and the ZABAL Bonfire bot. Ohnahji opened the creator track and got real about growing a stream. We closed the week with a fireside with Carlos that turned into half working session, half vibe-coding masterclass. And all week we ran alongside GM Farcaster's Farcaster Batches. Every session recorded and kept. To everyone who showed up - thank you. That is the whole thing.
Fresh up: Ohnahji's creator-track session is now posted in full, video and transcript. Starting and growing your own livestream - consistency is king, the tools that all glitch, Twitch raids and Streamed Together, building your own bots, and staying safe on stream.

Today we had our co-created talk with Chris - thank you to everyone who pulled up for it.
Tomorrow: Joseph Goats. For the rest of this week's speakers, and to RSVP to any of them, the full calendar lives here: https://lu.ma/zao
Miss one? Nothing disappears here. Every session is recorded, transcribed, and kept. Watch them all on the recaps page.
Today's card: Relinquish Self Importance.
The agreement: Don't Take Anything Personally, from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.
"Personal importance, or taking things personally, is the maximum expression of selfishness, because we make the assumption that everything is about me."
For builders, this one cuts deep. The quiet launch, the post that did not land, the user who did not come back - none of it is a verdict on you. Take it as information, not insult. When you stop making everything about you, the feedback gets lighter and the work gets clearer, and you are free to keep building. The build is the application.
See you tomorrow. Insert Coin.
