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.

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.)

I’m a software engineer who’s also new to this and I genuinely thought there would be more creatives/builders here rather than people trying to get rich quickly from digital currencies. That said, maybe we’re just a little early to the decentralized party?

“Oh.” - me, in late 2024, realizing that blockchains are an important technology, not merely a mechanism for pump and dumps.
