Web3: Beginner to Dev3

What?

Every software engineer out there has heard of blockchain. Despite the massive amounts of incentives that are offered to developers to migrate to Web3, why is there still such an acute supply gap in the market? Are the incentives not lucrative enough? No. Is there a general dearth of talented developers? Definitely not. Is it that, even if a developer wanted to, they wouldn't be able to navigate this ever changing landscape without a guide? Maybe.

That's where this blog comes in.

This blog aims to be the definitive guide for those who seek to go from knowing how a blockchain works internally, to a point where they are able to read and comprehend whitepapers, participate in conversations about the big ideas that have shaped Web3, understand the opportunities in and threats to this landscape and finally, build solutions to problems they find most rewarding.

Why?

I'm here myself, and I'm stuck. I just hope this blog can help some folks out and unlock possibilities for them. Web3 is all about collaboration anyway.

How?

Breadth First Search, then Depth First Search. The strategy will be to gather a surface level knowledge of most of Web3 (although I will be focussing on Ethereum or EVM based blockchains for the first 50 days or so) and then deep dive into specific topics to achieve competence.

When?

Over the course of the next 100 days, I will be learning something new Web3 and sharing it with you.

Where?

The blog and the twitter.

Who?

Oh yeah, I am chtnnh. Web3 beginner, KB4 Fellow, Backend Engineer at Questbook.
