another very valuable EIP for both ETH and builders would be native erc20 compatability for eth adding support for native tokens (like ETH) adds a ton of code complexity and devx challenges. if devs could just use existing erc20 pathways that would be helpful

I was getting questions about recent EF layoffs and my situation so I should share something public as well. I am still part of EF, continuing my work and figuring out what's most needed in the future. However, all of my team, Protocol Support, that I have been part for 5+ years, has been dissolved. And we lost some really great people during this. @joshdavislight is personally the biggest loss for me, although I hope our two ring circus will continue. He came to Ethereum inspired by his friend @pipermerriam and we met to work on a project. Two of us with widely different backgrounds, pretty random match but we found out we have a lot in common, that's why we are here. Starting around 4 years ago, we built EPF together, running cohorts regularly since. It became machine that brings dozens of new core developers, we made friends with so many talented people all over the world. I'm grateful we could do this in tandem with Josh. @wolovim here is the man himself behind Forkcast and the final leader of the team. He stepped up to this role when his original team got dissolved to immediately build a tool that became core to all core development coordination. One of the biggest improvements we saw in years with major step in public and devs being able to follow the process. Huge respect for his skills and dedication, really glad you kept us all together till the end. @dionysuzx Joined him only couple months ago to take Forkcast to next level. One of those people who just showed up in community, you see their motivation and contributions so you just want to work with them! He was able to step up and do great things really fast. I am sure his potential finds even better opportunities in the future. @Butta_eth Who also joined recently but did incredible work in the time. He is the guy who knows everyone and gets stuff done, iykwim👀Managing inputs from the ecosystem, he helped to push core r&d and only in couple of months he ramped up maxEB adoption across the whole network. This was the last iteration of Protocol Support, the team with catch-all name started by @JosefJ_ , pushing whole Ethereum forward for years lead by @TimBeiko and finally being transformed to accelerate core development by @nixorokish. It's been a wild ride to see it all the way from humble beginning, through peak and all the way to the bitter end. RIP @EFprotocol Respect to all quiet builders out there working without fancy loud handles and keeping everything running. Posledný nech zhasne

@dankrad Also, coming from a verification background, the tooling doesn't seem to be quite there yet. There are no vibe-proven systems in production yet, and the gap between toy projects (or math) and large production codebases is enormous.
