With this sixtieth edition of The Itinerant Weekly, I will pause publication for 2-3 weeks. During this time, I will be updating and refining the project roadmap and content, working towards some level of process automation, and exploring avenues to free up more time for original content creation. Stay tuned!
The Itinerant Weekly is available on Diamond, Mirror.xyz, Paragraph.xyz, and at www.theitinerant.io along with resources for founders and investors.
