THE LAND OF DREAMS AMONG "Have you made up your mind who you're going to have to the wedding, Anne?" asked Mrs. Rachel Lynde, as she hemstitched table napkins industriously. "It's time your invitations were sent, even if they are to be only informal ones." "I don't mean to have very many," said Anne. "We just want those we love best to see us married. Gilbert's people, and Mr. and Mrs. Allan, and Mr. and Mrs. Harrison." "There was a time when you'd hardly have numbered Mr. Harrison among your dearest friends," said Marilla drily. "Well, I wasn't VERY strongly attracted to him at our first meeting," acknowledged Anne, with a laugh over the recollection. "But Mr. Harrison has improved on acquaintance, and Mrs. Harrison is really a dear. Then, of course, there are Miss Lavendar and Paul." "Have they decided to come to the Island this summer? I thought they were going to Europe." "They changed their minds when I wrote them I was going to be married. I had a letter from Paul today. He says he MUST come to my wedding, no matter what happens to Europe." "That child always idolised you," remarked Mrs. Rachel. "That 'child' is a young man of nineteen now, Mrs. Lynde." "How time does fly!" was Mrs. Lynde's brilliant and original response. "Charlotta the Fourth may come with them. She sent word by Paul that she would come if her husband would let her. I wonder if she still wears those enormous blue bows, and whether her husband calls her Charlotta or Leonora. I should love to have Charlotta at my wedding. Charlotta and I were at a wedding long syne. They expect to be at Echo Lodge next week. Then there are Phil and the Reverend Jo——" "It sounds awful to hear you speaking of a minister like that, Anne," said Mrs. Rachel severely. "His wife calls him that." "She should have more respect for his holy office, then," retorted Mrs. Rachel. "I've heard you criticise ministers pretty sharply yourself," teased Anne. "Yes, but I do it reverently," protested Mrs. Lynde. "You never heard me NICKNAME a minister." Anne smothered a smile. "Well, there are Diana and Fred and little Fred and Small Anne Cordelia—and Jane Andrews. I wish I could have Miss Stacey and Aunt Jamesina and Priscilla and Stella. But Stella is in Vancouver, and Pris is in Japan, and Miss Stacey is married in California, and Aunt Jamesina has gone to India to explore her daughter's mission field, in spite of her horror of snakes. It's really dreadful—the way people get scattered over the globe." "The Lord never intended it, that's what," said Mrs. Rachel authoritatively. "In my young days people grew up and married and settled down where they were born, or pretty near it. Thank goodness you've stuck to the Island, Anne. I was afraid Gilbert would insist on rushing off to the ends of the earth when he got through college, and dragging you with him." "If everybody stayed where he was born places would soon be filled up, Mrs. Lynde." "Oh, I'm not going to argue with you, Anne. I am not a B.A. What time of the day is the ceremony to be?" "We have decided on noon—high noon, as the society reporters say. That will give us time to catch the evening train to Glen St. Mary." "And you'll be married in the parlor?" "No—not unless it rains. We mean to be married in the orchard—with the blue sky over us and the sunshine around us. Do you know when and where I'd like to be married, if I could? It would be at dawn—a June dawn, with a glorious sunrise, and roses blooming in the gardens; and I would slip down and meet Gilbert and we would go together to the heart of the beech woods,—and there, under the green arches that would be like a splendid cathedral, we would be married." Marilla sniffed scornfully and Mrs. Lynde looked shocked. "But that would be terrible queer, Anne. Why, it wouldn't really seem legal. And what would Mrs. Harmon Andrews say?" "Ah, there's the rub," sighed Anne. "There are so many things in life we cannot do because of the fear of what Mrs. Harmon Andrews would say. ''Tis true, 'tis pity, and pity 'tis, 'tis true.' What delightful things we might do were it not for Mrs. Harmon Andrews!" "By times, Anne, I don't feel quite sure that I understand you altogether," complained Mrs. Lynde. "Anne was always romantic, you know," said Marilla apologetically. "Well, married life will most likely cure her of that," Mrs. Rachel responded comfortingly. Anne laughed and slipped away to Lover's Lane, where Gilbert found her; and neither of them seemed to entertain much fear, or hope, that their married life would cure them of romance. The Echo Lodge people came over the next week, and Green Gables buzzed with the delight of them. Miss Lavendar had changed so little that the three years since her last Island visit might have been a watch in the night; but Anne gasped with amazement over Paul. Could this splendid six feet of manhood be the little Paul of Avonlea schooldays? "You really make me feel old, Paul," said Anne. "Why, I have to look up to you!" "You'll never grow old, Teacher," said Paul. "You are one of the fortunate mortals who have found and drunk from the Fountain of Youth,—you and Mother Lavendar. See here! When you're married I WON'T call you Mrs. Blythe. To me you'll always be 'Teacher'—the teacher of the best lessons I ever learned. I want to show you something." The "something" was a pocketbook full of poems. Paul had put some of his beautiful fancies into verse, and magazine editors had not been as unappreciative as they are sometimes supposed to be. Anne read Paul's poems with real delight. They were full of charm and promise. "You'll be famous yet, Paul. I always dreamed of having one famous pupil. He was to be a college president—but a great poet would be even better. Some day I'll be able to boast that I whipped the distinguished Paul Irving. But then I never did whip you, did I, Paul? What an opportunity lost! I think I kept you in at recess, however." "You may be famous yourself, Teacher. I've seen a good deal of your work these last three years." "No. I know what I can do. I can write pretty, fanciful little sketches that children love and editors send welcome cheques for. But I can do nothing big. My only chance for earthly immortality is a corner in your Memoirs." Charlotta the Fourth had discarded the blue bows but her freckles were not noticeably less. "I never did think I'd come down to marrying a Yankee, Miss Shirley, ma'am," she said. "But you never know what's before you, and it isn't his fault. He was born that way." "You're a Yankee yourself, Charlotta, since you've married one." "Miss Shirley, ma'am, I'm NOT! And I wouldn't be if I was to marry a dozen Yankees! Tom's kind of nice. And besides, I thought I'd better not be too hard to please, for I mightn't get another chance. Tom don't drink and he don't growl because he has to work between meals, and when all's said and done I'm satisfied, Miss Shirley, ma'am." "Does he call you Leonora?" asked Anne. "Goodness, no, Miss Shirley, ma'am. I wouldn't know who he meant if he did. Of course, when we got married he had to say, 'I take thee, Leonora,' and I declare to you, Miss Shirley, ma'am, I've had the most dreadful feeling ever since that it wasn't me he was talking to and I haven't been rightly married at all. And so you're going to be married yourself, Miss Shirley, ma'am? I always thought I'd like to marry a doctor. It would be so handy when the children had measles and croup. Tom is only a bricklayer, but he's real good-tempered. When I said to him, says I, 'Tom, can I go to Miss Shirley's wedding? I mean to go anyhow, but I'd like to have your consent,' he just says, 'Suit yourself, Charlotta, and you'll suit me.' That's a real pleasant kind of husband to have, Miss Shirley, ma'am." Philippa and her Reverend Jo arrived at Green Gables the day before the wedding. Anne and Phil had a rapturous meeting which presently simmered down to a cosy, confidential chat over all that had been and was about to be. "Queen Anne, you're as queenly as ever. I've got fearfully thin since the babies came. I'm not half so good-looking; but I think Jo likes it. There's not such a contrast between us, you see. And oh, it's perfectly magnificent that you're going to marry Gilbert. Roy Gardner wouldn't have done at all, at all. I can see that now, though I was horribly disappointed at the time. You know, Anne, you did treat Roy very badly." "He has recovered, I understand," smiled Anne. "Oh, yes. He is married and his wife is a sweet little thing and they're perfectly happy. Everything works together for good. Jo and the Bible say that, and they are pretty good authorities." "Are Alec and Alonzo married yet?" "Alec is, but Alonzo isn't. How those dear old days at Patty's Place come back when I'm talking to you, Anne! What fun we had!" "Have you been to Patty's Place lately?" "Oh, yes, I go often. Miss Patty and Miss Maria still sit by the fireplace and knit. And that reminds me—we've brought you a wedding gift from them, Anne. Guess what it is." "I never could. How did they know I was going to be married?" "Oh, I told them. I was there last week. And they were so interested. Two days ago Miss Patty wrote me a note asking me to call; and then she asked if I would take her gift to you. What would you wish most from Patty's Place, Anne?" "You can't mean that Miss Patty has sent me her china dogs?" "Go up head. They're in my trunk this very moment. And I've a letter for you. Wait a moment and I'll get it." "Dear Miss Shirley," Miss Patty had written, "Maria and I were very much interested in hearing of your approaching nuptials. We send you our best wishes. Maria and I have never married, but we have no objection to other people doing so. We are sending you the china dogs. I intended to leave them to you in my will, because you seemed to have sincere affection for them. But Maria and I expect to live a good while yet (D.V.), so I have decided to give you the dogs while you are young. You will not have forgotten that Gog looks to the right and Magog to the left." "Just fancy those lovely old dogs sitting by the fireplace in my house of dreams," said Anne rapturously. "I never expected anything so delightful." That evening Green Gables hummed with preparations for the following day; but in the twilight Anne slipped away. She had a little pilgrimage to make on this last day of her girlhood and she must make it alone. She went to Matthew's grave, in the little poplar-shaded Avonlea graveyard, and there kept a silent tryst with old memories and immortal loves. "How glad Matthew would be tomorrow if he were here," she whispered. "But I believe he does know and is glad of it—somewhere else. I've read somewhere that 'our dead are never dead until we have forgotten them.' Matthew will never be dead to me, for I can never forget him." She left on his grave the flowers she had brought and walked slowly down the long hill. It was a gracious evening, full of delectable lights and shadows. In the west was a sky of mackerel clouds—crimson and amber-tinted, with long strips of apple-green sky between. Beyond was the glimmering radiance of a sunset sea, and the ceaseless voice of many waters came up from the tawny shore. All around her, lying in the fine, beautiful country silence, were the hills and fields and woods she had known and loved so long. "History repeats itself," said Gilbert, joining her as she passed the Blythe gate. "Do you remember our first walk down this hill, Anne—our first walk together anywhere, for that matter?" "I was coming home in the twilight from Matthew's grave—and you came out of the gate; and I swallowed the pride of years and spoke to you." "And all heaven opened before me," supplemented Gilbert. "From that moment I looked forward to tomorrow. When I left you at your gate that night and walked home I was the happiest boy in the world. Anne had forgiven me." "I think you had the most to forgive. I was an ungrateful little wretch—and after you had really saved my life that day on the pond, too. How I loathed that load of obligation at first! I don't deserve the happiness that has come to me." Gilbert laughed and clasped tighter the girlish hand that wore his ring. Anne's engagement ring was a circlet of pearls. She had refused to wear a diamond. "I've never really liked diamonds since I found out they weren't the lovely purple I had dreamed. They will always suggest my old disappointment." "But pearls are for tears, the old legend says," Gilbert had objected. "I'm not afraid of that. And tears can be happy as well as sad. My very happiest moments have been when I had tears in my eyes—when Marilla told me I might stay at Green Gables—when Matthew gave me the first pretty dress I ever had—when I heard that you were going to recover from the fever. So give me pearls for our troth ring, Gilbert, and I'll willingly accept the sorrow of life with its joy." But tonight our lovers thought only of joy and never of sorrow. For the morrow was their wedding day, and their house of dreams awaited them on the misty, purple shore of Four Winds Harbor.

THE LAND OF DREAMS AMONG

An experiment coauthoring with ChatGPT. Chapter One, where Pete asks Ana to help him recover his digital wallet When cryptography meets quantum computer and cryopreserved bodies hide secrets worth millions, it only takes one bad actor to unleash a thrilling action. Coauthored with ChatGPT based on my prompts. The technology and historical events in this novel are real. Peter, a crypto investor, sat nervously at Ana’s kitchen table, fidgeting with his hands as he explained his predicament. “I’ve lost the keys to my digital wallet,” he said, “and I have no idea how to recover them. Can you help me?” Ana, a Computer Science graduate student specializing in crypto and security, listened attentively while mentally thinking what was she going to have for dinner. “Okay, let’s start from the beginning,” Ana said. “What exactly happened to the digital keys to your wallet?” Peter took a deep breath and explained. “My hard drive crashed, and when I tried to recover the contents, the sector where the keys were stored could only be restored partially. I’ve tried everything I know, but I can’t seem to get the keys back.” Peter, a man shrouded in mystery, was once just an ordinary taxi driver, ferrying people through the bustling streets of the city. But little did his passengers know, Peter had a secret passion — Bitcoin. He had always been fascinated by the world of digital currencies, and in his spare time, he dove deep into the world of crypto investing. With his luck timing the market, Peter’s investments started to pay off. He felt as if he had finally found his calling, and his small investments began to grow into a substantial fortune. He dreamed of retiring early and living a life of luxury with his girlfriend, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. But destiny had other plans. One fateful day, Peter discovered that the keys to his crypto wallet, the gateway to his fortune, went missing due to a hard disk crash of his laptop. Without those keys, his investments were locked away, out of reach. The loss was a crushing blow to Peter’s plans, and his girlfriend news love for Louboutins hung in the balance. Ana was a brilliant computer science graduate student, a prodigy in the field of cryptography and cybersecurity. She was also a great cook, and a bit of a party animal. She was determined to make her mark in the academic world, at least as big as her sister had made in TikTok. Her passion for the field led her to a top university where she was working under the guidance of a renowned expert in the field of quantum computing. Together, Ana and her professor were on the cusp of a breakthrough, working to merge the worlds of quantum computing and cryptocurrency security. They believed that by harnessing the power of quantum computing, they could create unbreakable codes that would revolutionize the crypto industry. The challenge that Peter was presenting her was an interesting practical problem she could use to advance her research. Plus it could be an easy way to cash in her know how to finally get that expensive hairdo and tint that she had been wanting to have for a while. Ana and Peter had met serendipitously. One day, Peter picked up a fare, a distinguished-looking gentleman, who asked to be taken to a local computer repair shop. As they drove, Peter confided in his passenger about his recent misfortune of losing the keys to his crypto wallet, and the possible financial troubles it may cause to his love life. No money for high heels could result in sunseting interest in him by his girlfriend. The gentleman listened with interest an once they arrived at the computer repair shop handed Peter his card. “I may be able to help you with your problem,” he said. “I know a young woman, a graduate student in computer science, who specializes in crypto security. She may be able to assist you in recovering your keys.” Intrigued, Peter thanked the gentleman and took the card. He contacted Ana, and explained his predicament. She agreed to meet to discuss how she could help him. This is how Peter had found his way to Ana’s kitchen and had explained the situation in full to her while she was gathering the ingredients to make Lasagna from scratch. Ana sat across of Peter and decided she could use his case as a practical application to some of the technologies she was working on. “Ok, let’s see if we can recover the missing pieces. Can you show me the partially restored sector and the recovery software you’ve been using?” Peter handed over his laptop. Ana quickly scanned through the recovered sector, looking for any clues that could help her piece together the missing information. She knew that in cases like this, even a small fragment of data could be crucial in unlocking the keys to the wallet. After a few minutes of examination, Ana had an idea. “I think I might have a solution,” she said, “ but we’ll need to try a few things, and it may take some time. Can you leave your laptop and the recovery software with me? I’ll work on it and keep you updated.” Peter nodded, feeling a glimmer of hope. “Thank you, Ana. I really appreciate it.” Ana quickly realized that she might need some help to recover the keys to Peter’s digital wallet. She remembered the chat group of her college buddies who were all experts in various fields of computer science and security. Ana wrote a message to the group explaining the situation with Peter. She included details about the crash, the partially restored sector, and the recovery software that had been used. She ended the message by asking if anyone had any ideas on how to help Peter recover his keys. Within minutes, the group was buzzing with activity as her friends offered suggestions and possible solutions. Some suggested trying different recovery software, while others suggested that a brute force attack on the partially restored sector could reveal the missing keys. Mike, a good looking expert in quantum computing, offered an idea. “Have you considered using a quantum computer to try and crack open the digital wallet? The advantage of a quantum computer is that it can work on many possible key pair combinations in parallel, increasing the chances of finding the correct one.” Mike explained that he had been working on a similar problem and had developed a new technique that he believed could help recover the lost keys. Ana listened intently, feeling her spirits lift with each word he spoke. For Ana, this was a huge opportunity. Not only was she getting closer to a solution for Peter, but this could also be a game changer for her career. If she and Mike could recover the keys and figure out a way to secure crypto wallets from hackers, it could put her on the map as a leading expert in the field of crypto security. Mike explained that the process would involve running a quantum algorithm on the partially restored sector of the wallet, which would generate a large number of possible key pair combinations. The quantum computer would then test each combination in parallel, looking for the one that unlocked the wallet. Ana knew that this would be a resource expensive solution and asked Mike about the cost. Mike told her that it could end up being a significant amount of money, but that the chances of success were high. Ana chatted with Peter. “I have a possible solution for you, but it is going to cost a significant amount of money,” she said. “Are you willing to pay a finder’s fee if this works?” Peter, who was desperate to regain access to his funds, agreed without hesitation. “I’ll do whatever it takes,” he said. “Just get me my keys back.” Ana told Mike they had the green light to proceed with the quantum computing solution. Mike asked Ana if she could arrange for some time on the quantum computer that she had access to through her university lab. Ana reached out to her professor and presented this as a case study for a potential application so that she could get access to the computing resources of the lab. After some coordination, she managed to secure a slot for the upcoming week and informed Mike. “Great, we’re all set then,” Mike said. “let’s meet up later for coffee and we can discuss the next steps and the finder’s fee.” Ana was excited to work on this project with Mike. She had secretly had a crush on him for a while and was now happy to have an excuse to spend time with him. She spent at least half an hour trying to find the proper outfit to wear to meet him. The short black dress was too slutty, and her jeans and sweater did not show enough. She decided to go for a miniskirt, with black stockings and a blue blouse with large buttons that resalted the color of her eyes. As they met, Mike and Ana discussed the details of the quantum computing solution, including the cost of the process and the amount of the finder’s fee. As they sat and talked, she couldn’t help but feel a bit self-conscious. She worried about saying something stupid, or spilling her coffee. She found herself fidgeting with her hair, and playing with the lid of her cup. She tried her best to keep the conversation going, asking him questions and discussing the next steps in the process, including the preparation of the data and the programming of the quantum algorithm. But she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was rambling. All the while, she couldn’t help but steal glances at him, admiring his striking features and the way his eyes sparkled when he laughed. Despite her nerves, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of joy and contentment as she sat there with him, talking and laughing. She couldn’t wait to spend more time with him and to get to know him better. With the plan in place and the quantum computer time secured, Ana and Mike felt confident that they were one step closer to recovering the keys to Peter’s digital wallet. As Ana and Mike parted ways, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement. She had a secret crush on Mike for a long time and was happy to have an excuse to spend time working on this project with him. She couldn’t wait to get started and see where things would lead. As the days passed, Ana found herself looking forward to the time she would spent working on the project with Mike. They laughed, chatted and planned their work together, and she couldn’t help but feel a connection growing between them. Also published here

A Content-Rich Q&A Session - Star Japanese Web3 Fund, Meteorite Labs, Uncovers How to Penetrate and Integrate into the Japanese Market Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to engage in a discussion about the Japanese market with you. Today, our conversation will focus on the nuances of the Japanese Web3 market, particularly in relation to project operations. I'm delighted to introduce our esteemed guest, who is deeply involved in the Japanese Web3 market. Umi possesses significant industry experience in Japan and is a highly regarded Web3 professional. This dialogue will allow us all to gain a deeper understanding of the Japanese market and provide insights that may prove helpful for project operators seeking to enter this market. Firstly, I'd like to invite Umi to introduce herself and answer the inaugural question of this session: : HOST From your personal experiences living and working on projects in Japan, could you identify some unique features and trends within the Japanese Web3 market? How do these aspects influence the operation of projects? Hello everyone, I'm Umi. I'm the BD Lead of Meteorite Labs based in Japan. Meteorite Labs is not just a foundation, but also functions as an incubator. As an early-stage Web3 investment fund, our portfolio boasts an impressive line-up, including projects like Galaxy, Fusionist, and Stepn, all of which we had invested in at an early stage and introduced to Japan. : UMI Addressing your question about , two characteristics come to mind: . Japan has one of the highest levels of customer loyalty and purchasing power worldwide. Projects like Stepn and Fusionist, which I mentioned earlier, have been remarkably successful, gaining favor with platforms like Binance. Interestingly, during the early operational phase of the Stepn project, nearly half of its 800 users were Japanese. Even now, as the project has grown considerably, . what makes the Japanese market distinctive loyalty and purchasing power the Japanese still make up 20%-30% of its user base Why is this so? One possible explanation lies in the structure of Japanese households. Unlike Chinese families, which often consist of a single child, Japanese families typically have three to four children, in addition to parents. This means that if one family member begins using a service like Stepn, they are likely to share it with the rest of their family. It's not uncommon for entire families to engage with the platform, perhaps buying multiple pairs of shoes. This trend speaks volumes about the strong purchasing power inherent in the Japanese market. Take , for instance, our involvement was not just in the form of investment; we also assisted them with strategic planning for marketing in Japan. Leveraging our extensive experience in the Japanese market, Meteorite Labs was able to craft custom strategies for their venture into this region. After these strategies were implemented, . This has led us to believe that trust is crucial in the Japanese market. Once the consumers trust and know you, and find your project interesting and engaging, they'll remain loyal for a long time. Fusionist the company revealed that 30% of its user base is Japanese Recently, we invested in a game project: Mahjong Meta. We plan to continue aiding their expansion into the Japanese market, using our operational experience in the region. We'll open a brick-and-mortar mahjong parlor in Shibuya, which will serve as a gateway from Web2 to Web3, embedding the concept in the minds of Japanese users. We also have an example involving a . Our founder had previously assisted FTX Japan in cementing its foothold in the Japanese market. In its initial six months, FTX Japan didn't make a profit—it was purely an investment stage that required extensive market cultivation, . Hence, loyalty and purchasing power are distinct traits of the Japanese market. cryptocurrency exchange finding ways to establish trust and stimulate Japanese Users’ purchasing power Considering the user characteristics of the Japanese market you just mentioned, while there is a significant number of crypto users with considerable purchasing power, engaging these users presents its challenges. What are some effective strategies for customer acquisition in the Japanese market? How can we increase Japanese users' understanding of, and participation in, Web3 projects? : HOST From an operational standpoint, for example, with Stepn, Meteorite Labs has conducted numerous . These events were quite straightforward, allowing real users of Stepn to gather and form an organic community. The idea is not to have the project party exert significant effort in event planning but to let the community naturally converge, fueling user motivation. : UMI ground-level real-world events The social structure in Japan allows for a variety of tribes and communities, . This is a defining characteristic of society. During my university days in Japan, there were many community activities. Individuals often sought their sense of belonging and self-identity by participating in these communities and organizations. This approach holds for Stepn and our upcoming project, Mahjong Meta. We drive users to spontaneously form communities via various offline activities, thereby amplifying the brand's influence. fostering a sense of belonging for individuals For foreign projects entering Japan, . For instance, there's a renowned company called Bandai Namco in Japan, holding many famous IPs. We maintain a close collaboration with several well-known Japanese funds, such as Emoote and MZfund. Therefore, when we identify promising early-stage projects or projects we've previously invested in, Meteorite Labs can introduce them to these leading fund teams. These funds can then offer unique resources, such as recommending tailored activities, thus giving projects an opportunity to accurately identify their user base and engage more directly with users in the real world. partnering with local big corporations or notable investors is an excellent strategy It's widely known that, due to language habits and social-cultural differences, brand implantation in the Japanese market can be challenging—it's a relatively closed market. : HOST What's the most effective strategy for Web3 projects to establish brand awareness and promote projects in the Japanese market? How can they forge close connections and collaborations with local Japanese communities and homegrown projects? When a foreign project aims to penetrate the Japanese market, . Ideally, community moderators or core members should be Japanese, or at least, they should be fluent in Japanese. This approach helps foster a strong sense of camaraderie. Peace and safety are core values in Japan, which is why it's crucial. : UMI it is essential to establish a favorable and familiar impression Another key factor is the . It's vital to deeply understand their user base, the content they focus on, and their overall influence. To illustrate, there was a project that engaged a KOL named KazMax, known for negative content, during its promotional activities in Japan. This resulted in substantial harm to the project's brand in the early stages of its entry into the Japanese market. This underscores the importance of discerning the type of KOL during the selection process. comprehensive vetting of your Key Opinion Leader (KOL) In Japan, multiple small groups are formed by various KOLs, all supporting each other within different communities. Hence, if you engage a KOL and things become somewhat awkward, other high-quality KOLs might be reluctant to promote your project. This has happened in real life. . Consequently, discerning the abilities of KOLs is extremely important when promoting in the Japanese market For project developers, identifying the right KOL becomes a major challenge. Recognizing this, Meteorite Labs has invested in the Aki Network. On the surface, . It uses numerous indicators to assess an influencer's core influence. The platform not only measures the interaction data between influencers and users but also evaluates the derivative interactions that the influencer generates and the volume of referral data. This holistic approach assesses an influencer's account quality. All these precise records are maintained on the Aki platform, enabling project developers to understand their true capabilities as well as those of the influencers they collaborate with. Aki Network might seem like a tool for an event planning platform, but it differentiates itself by emphasizing the influencer's impact Mature project developers attach great importance to this aspect. Whether it's about entering the Japanese market or other international markets, you might collaborate with a famous KOL who has hundreds of thousands of fans, only to realize that the attention they generate is not as significant as anticipated. . Therefore, for projects looking to penetrate the Japanese market and establish close connections with KOLs, they can use tools like Aki Network to discern KOL's capabilities, thus saving cognitive costs. The Aki Network reveals this hidden information, allowing users and project developers to access this crucial information When dealing with cultural differences in the Japanese market, what challenges have your projects encountered? How have you addressed these challenges and successfully integrated into the local culture? : HOST Honestly, . Integrating into the Japanese market means investing time, building relationships, making friends, and fostering trust. Once trust is established, users will reveal many truths. However, this . Also, having Japanese team members or those fluent in Japanese who can connect deeply with people is beneficial. The majority of the Meteorite Labs team comprises Chinese who have lived in Japan for over a decade, so there are minimal cultural differences. : UMI it requires patience trust-building process takes time Meteorite Labs' founder, Melody, has many years of experience in this field. Before moving into investment, she helped many projects get listed on Japanese exchanges. For instance, she orchestrated IOST's listing on CoinCheck, marking the first overseas listing. She also has experience with exchanges and venture capital, giving her a comprehensive and multidimensional perspective of the Japanese market. As we've guided numerous projects into the Japanese market, we've identified several rules to follow. . This characteristic extends from the Web2 to Web3 era. . This is because our approach extends beyond just interacting with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) and fostering their trust and loyalty; it's also about helping the mainstream users to gradually accept and embrace the project. In this field, Meteorite Labs brings extensive experience and a rich array of resources to the table. Also, the Aki Network, as mentioned earlier, can serve as an effective and streamlined tool for ventures looking to infiltrate and broaden their reach within the Japanese market. Should anyone harbor an interest in Japanese local funds or community resources and desire to delve deeper into these topics, I extend an open invitation for contact and communication. The core of Japanese culture values quality, rejects impulsiveness, and embodies the spirit of a craftsman As a result, projects that lean towards hasty operations or a short-term, money-oriented approach may not find an easy fit within the Japanese market About Meteorite Labs Meteorite Labs is a fundamental research-driven crypto fund with extensive experience and connections in Asia, particularly Japan.

Earlier this month, the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics released its monthly jobs report which revealed that postings are from pre-pandemic levels, and this after the tech sector experienced massive layoffs in 2022 and 2023. software development job down 28% What used to be a cushy career path in development and IT is now changing, and other factors such as advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are also making it harder for dev professionals to secure jobs and advance their . careers Despite challenges, remain resilient and are taking steps to improve their hireability — and their employers should take note. software developers The software development job crisis Following an explosion of technology job during the pandemic, 165,269 tech employees were laid off in 2022, followed by another 263,180 in 2023, to job market watchdog Layoffs.fyi. And thus far in Q1 of 2024, there have been 50,158 layoffs, on pace to keep up with the last two years’ numbers. hiring according What’s more, as other sectors begin to recover from the economic downturn of the past two years, the tech sector continues to struggle. The bureau’s report revealed that tech job postings are 25% below pre-pandemic levels, with software development harder hit at -28%. In an with CNBC, ZipRecruiter’s Chief Economist Julia Pollak said the numbers “suggest that the ‘tech-session’ is still not behind us despite this huge rally in the stock market.” interview Software and IT professionals are also worried by the existential threat that AI poses to their livelihoods, especially with the wide adoption of generative AI like ChatGPT after its much publicized launch in November of 2022, and the recent of Peter Thiel-backed Cognition Labs, which bills itself as “the first AI software engineer.” launch A January from media company Motherboard and Blind, an anonymous platform for verified employees, found that 90% of software engineers found it more difficult to get a job, with 66% qualifying it as “much harder.” Additionally, 80% said the job market was more competitive, while only 6% were “extremely confident” in their job prospects, and 60% of surveyed engineers said they thought their companies would hire less developers due to AI. survey “Of course the aftermath of the layoffs has created an atmosphere of job insecurity, prompting developers to focus on maintaining their current positions,” said Kirimgeray Kirimli, President of Flatiron Software, a full stack development firm. “Simultaneously, there is a pressing need to strategically advance their careers by acquiring new skills and staying abreast of new technologies.” Software developers increasing their chances of getting hired As pressure mounts, software professionals are looking for ways to keep them successful in a competitive job market. Ironically, some job-seekers are to help them game the resumé selection process. But there are other ways of standing out. turning to AI As in any job space, Kirimli recommends making connections to help open up job opportunities. “Building a network is essential for every professional, not just people working in the field of technology. I have found many of my jobs through personal networks and I have seen a lot of executives move into new roles with the help of their networks,” he said. One of the best ways to build connections is by helping others. Working on a , reaching out to past colleagues or alumni from college to see if you can contribute to projects they’re working on can help. GitHub project Additionally, being active on social media, contributing valuable advice to conversations surrounding software development issues can also get you noticed by companies looking for workers. What’s more, staying active as a developer, even when you’re out of work, can make you attractive to recruiters. John Macdonald, a long-time software development team leader, he asks developers one simple question when hiring: What are you coding at the moment? said This type of question can separate those with a true passion for software development, from the rest. Although at times it may feel discouraging, out of work developers should keep coding on passion projects that interest them, or upskilling themselves through further education. “As a software engineer specifically, you will always have to learn and improve yourself,” said Kirimli. “Emerging advancements in AI will change the software development space, but as long as engineers stay up to date, there will be work to be done … Whether this will be in the form of prompt engineering or something else, time will tell.” How can managers best set up developers for success? We mustn’t lay the full responsibility of landing a job on the developers. The tech industry, and society as a whole, must have a long discussion about the ramifications of companies using AI to replace human talent. Labor unions are to get tech workers a seat at the bargaining table with companies that are implementing AI, and last December, Microsoft to union contract language governing its use of AI, although it applied to a small gaming studio within the company. working agreed On a more personal scale, managers who are interested in the success of their employees can also do more to set them up for career advancement. Kirimli, the former software engineer, said that fostering an environment that values continued learning is “crucial” for employees’ wellbeing. “This involves supporting educational initiatives, providing resources for skill development, and ensuring that our teams stay ahead in the ever-evolving tech landscape,” he said. According to Sashank Purighalla, CEO of cloud management platform BOS Framework, “Companies should create a ‘safe space’ for experimentation within project boundaries when possible. This allows developers to test new tools, explore innovative approaches, and learn from experiences—including failures—in a controlled environment, fostering creativity and problem-solving skills. Additionally, evolving the paradigm of how promotions and demotions dealt with in the tech space is also key. “We recognize the significance of data-driven decision-making” in the promotion process, said Kirimli. Rather than relying on the sentiment of the manager, developers are encouraged to showcase their contributions through quantifiable results and measurable impact. Kirimli said his company uses a proprietary tool, called Snapshot Reviews, to allow for a clear picture of a developer’s performance, their contributions, and how they compare to the rest of their team. The software uses AI to analyze Jira tickets and GitHub commits to provide feedback and render performance graphics for teams. Additionally, hiring managers should ensure they’re setting new hires up for success. “The problem isn’t really the quantity of positions, it’s the number of quality positions with clear expectations and skill matching,” said Sajid Mohamedy, an Executive Vice President at technology consultancy Nisum. “A data science degree doesn’t make you a great software engineer. Some of the best engineers I’ve come across don’t have degrees at all. The challenge is to evaluate an engineer correctly—and this process can be quite demanding for both parties.” He added, “I’m convinced that coding requires a special mindset, somewhat akin to math/logic. The better strategy is to find candidates with the right mentality and invest in new hire training periods to transfer their skills to the business use case.” The so-called “tech-session” looks to be on track to continue into 2024, and with the uncertainty surrounding AI, unfortunately, the job market for developers will most likely remain competitive throughout the year. But developers can, and should, do what is necessary to keep advancing their careers and making themselves more hireable — and we should help them too!
