A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

slop but also lowers barrier to entry for others to start building!

This will be a controversial opinion but I honestly believe the barrier is too low. We don’t give doctors a 6 month bootcamp and say “hey, go operate on some people!”

Yet you can get hired writing code that manages millions of dollars quite easily.

This isn’t a call for increased credentialism (I’m a college dropout and very proud of it). It’s a call for higher standards for everyone. If you want to write code that’s awesome, but it shouldn’t be easy.

Don't think I agree with this. Your suggestion doesn't raise the bar it creates a massive labor shortage and hurt the speed at which inexperienced devs can level up

I’m not begging for more devs. And demand is a weird metric because there’s a lot of dumb stuff being built that doesn’t deserve anyone’s time. That would be considered “demand”

Beggars can't be choosers. There is more demand to do dev work than there are devs pretty much throughout all of history (see how much devs get paid as evidence). The choice isn't high quality vs low quality (unless you are willing to pay). The choice for the marginal dev hire is the work gets done or the work remains unfinished
