nobody should give or receive any career advice right now. everyone is broadly underestimating the scope and scale of change and the high variance of the future. your L4 engineer buddy at meta telling you “bro cs degrees are cooked” doesn’t know shit
why not check for yourself? It's not that hard to keep up with the activities of EF teams, as most of it happens in the open:
- Applied Research Group hosts ACDC and posts actively on ethresearch, and both @ralexstokes and @mikeneuder are active here and in various other community forums
- The Account Abstraction team contributes to many repos & EIPs (e.g. 4337, 7702), and their contribution will be obvious to anyone who works on wallets or has touched AA over the years - @yoavw is the right person to follow here
- Consensus R&D is also very active (contributing to community calls and on ethresearch), and people on this team like @dankrad and @drakefjustin are similarly pretty vocal and open about their work
- Cryptography Research publishes their work here: https://t.co/Hf0CsXq5kc
- Devcon's work product probably speaks for itself. This week some of the team are busy with site visits for next year.
- @austingriffith's work on developer growth is similarly very public, follow @buidlguidl as well if you want to keep up.
- The Ecodev coordinators team is more of a support function for other teams, and their outputs are usually bundled with the work of other teams (e.g. helping raising money for important initiatives like the recent security attackathon, or helping improve EthMagicians, etc)
- @EF_ESP manages the entire grants apparatus of the EF, including regular inbound through the open program and they publish quarterly recaps on the blog + info on their website regularly (https://t.co/lPqRZ8Ubhc)
- @ethdotorg's work is similarly visible and easy to follow along with on github https://t.co/gi4qPI0Dfa
- @go_ethereum's work is also all available on github https://t.co/Uh3H05hy6V, and obviously you will see geth team members on many ACDE calls and similar forums
- @teamipsilon's work is also very easy to follow on github https://t.co/4jvLeYSJ3A
- @EFJavaScript is the same https://t.co/DOxPDT50UR
- @EFNextBillion publishes their work here https://t.co/o0EnhrEVaA
- @ethPandaOps is well known for their high rate of output and value to the ecosystem, you can learn more about them here: https://t.co/ItEMrNcYXg
- Portal Network you can also follow along on github https://t.co/AR2mgawpqJ
- Privacy & Scaling Explorations (more of a group of teams than a single team) publish tons of info about their work here https://t.co/vcO3whcpDR, and you can find the github repos of various PSE projects on that site
- Protocol Security's work and output is also very obvious to people involved in this domain - more about the team here https://t.co/jMegh4QXgh, and follow @fredriksvantes who leads the team if you want to see regular updates
- Protocol Support's work is also very visible (e.g. running ACDE, running the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship (https://t.co/YTFzvQ54Kt), and lots more) and @TimBeiko is obviously the easy follow here.
- @EthereumRemix's work is also very public https://t.co/c11DjOdWFc
- Robust Incentives Group publishes info about their work on their website here https://t.co/mSPfPBrluW, follow @barnabemonnot if you want to keep up
- Snake Charmers (i.e. Python) team also works in the open, blog posts here https://t.co/Cf4gohn9BB and their work is spread across a few different repos like https://t.co/pSuS2uCg4P, https://t.co/GKRTnJQKtt, and several others
- The Specs & Testing team manages much of the extensive testing and spec work to ensures that each hard fork upgrade to Ethereum goes off without any issues - their work is most visible to those close to protocol upgrades, but you can learn more here https://t.co/CLO1fUSiA4 and here https://t.co/Bu16KUhIG3
That's every team at the EF, aside from ones that are already spinning out (see @argotorg) and operational functions like legal, finance, people ops, devops, and opsec which are together ~20 people. We have a pretty thin operational layer for an org of ~250 people.
Looking forward to opening up our development process & community work at @zkMACI
Quick alpha drop, we just migrated our documentation & blog (using @docusaurus, which has been great): https://t.co/jszf2q26Fj
Lots to improve but we'll be iterating often. PRs welcome! 🫡

This data isn't 100% accurate (no data that tracks clients is), but according to https://t.co/kbQQJItKaR, Geth is now under 50% share of execution layer clients.
The Ethereum community doesn't just talk about client diversity - we make it happen.
We at @ethdotorg have been pushing the design for web3 conversation and just put out this resources page. If you have more resources to add here, reach out 👋 https://t.co/cpNKcBijSY
I am excited to share that https://t.co/VY7opiD7VH finally has a new section and page dedicated to user research and UX in web3! While this is just one page, the hope is to improve and grow over time! Also you can contribute, and be part of this :) https://t.co/5qwOtRHIQ3
