i am posting feedback here at @DisruptionJoe 's request. per Passing the Torch 🔥 i will likely only be posting feedback on posts like these when specifically asked
while i do think that grants capital allocation is an important thing for the DAO to be optimizing, im concerned about the existing FDD having the skills needed to make a strategy like this successful.
specifically the leadership of the FDD lacking (1) data science skills (2) software engineering skills that can be hands on in the product. combined this with (3) a perceived history of trying to do too many things + not nailing the core mission when it was small (having a wide focus on the legitimacy of the whole dao vs just nailing sybil/collusion defense), an expanded scope makes me nervous.
im glad to see that the FDD is self aware of these issues and is consciously rethinking these fundamental things.
