I built the Uvio prototype within 12 weeks. Frontend, backend, smart contracts, UI, UX, design, APIs, background jobs, token engineering, user auth, mechanism design, infra, documentation, CI/CD, etc. Hit me up if you want to talk about any consumer crypto engineering challenge. I don't know it all, and it's not all "right", but it all works. Currently working on the design for user notifications.

May I ask how long it took you to develop on the blockchain? I’m a software engineer (11 YoE) with a background in EE and I feel like my head is swimming with new terminology. (I’m trying to avoid using LLMs to build b/c I’m one of those devs who needs to understand how everything works to debug properly.)

Could you specify your question a bit more? Are you interested in how long it took me to get comfortable with those new blockchain related concepts? Or would you like to know how long it took to write the Uvio smart contracts? My generic answer would be that all technical fields are full of acronyms and levels of abstraction. I would nowadays always recommend to pair-program with an LLM together. If you are already a rather seasoned engineer then you are in the fortunate position to ask rather qualified questions and you get an early sense at which point the model is hallucinating and bullshitting you.

How long it took to get comfortable with blockchain-related concepts. I’m comfortable with abstraction (e.g., ISAs, OS kernels, network APIs), but there are so many different blockchain technologies (e.g., DeFi primitives, transaction models, exchanges) that it’s been tricky to figure where/what/how to build.

Sorry for my late reply. I did not get a notification here for some reason. The struggle to keep up with complicated concepts in crypto never ends. You are always out of your depth if only you go far enough outside. For one this is kind of exciting because you always keep learning. And then it's not really a problem overall because you can only focus on one set of problems at a time. So if you build something then you should get up to speed within a matter of days or weeks in order to do what you have to do. Do you have a project in mind right now? Which direction do you want to go? What is basically your next step?

I have to apologize for the late reply, too. I haven’t gotten notifications from Warpcast in days. As for an idea for a project, I‘ve wanted to do something related to microfinance in India. While I’m proficient in Rust, I don’t understand smart contracts at a deep enough level to start building anything.
