Let's talk about Genesis — the program where the top 150 on Marsel's leaderboard share 6% of Marsel itself. Not points. Not badges. A real stake, reserved from day one. How it works: everything you do in the open counts. Post, build, invite, ship — the leaderboard tracks it all. One rule, set from day one: founders don't take community spots. We track ourselves on a separate internal board — all 150 public spots, and the full 6%, belong to the community. Right now @melaya leads the 30-day board. Next up in this series: how scoring works, and how to climb. This is a social experiment: proving vibecoders can own what they help build. See you on the board.
the founder-separation rule is the detail that makes this work. internal board for the team, 150 public spots for everyone else. no ambiguity about who owns what.
founders on a separate internal board while all 150 public spots belong to the community is the kind of constraint that prevents the usual leaderboard capture. curious how the scoring weights posting vs building vs inviting - the mix determines whether this rewards shilling or shipping.
