What's the opposite of FOMO? Excitement to be missing out?
Nothing seems more painful than being early to movements in software — Occasionally a small number of adopters come out "on top", but early adoption is rarely a game worth playing.
That's not absolutely true, but having that mindset is how I avoid caring too much about Web3, for example. I don't need to have my head in the sand either — I see it, I understand it (as much as anyone can), I just don't really want to be a part of it.
That doesn't mean you can't be an early adopter, just find opportunities where you are truly inspired and it clicks— and if it doesn't happen for you, don't fear that you're not a part.

"It's exciting to be a pioneer but be cautious, pioneers often got their wagons burned."
That's pretty solid advice.

Dominos UK ran a JOMO campaign a little while ago (Joy Of Missing Out).
