Durdsen - Developing Onchain

Helping you break into onchain development | The world is moving onchain. Let us pave the way.

What is the point of developing on a blockchain?

Crypto has been criticized as a solution in search of a problem. And frankly, a lot of the time it's true.

But what are some of the use cases as it stands? How have languages such as Solidity been used so far? 👇

4 challenges you will experience when trying to become a developer:

• Lack of discipline
• Feeling inferior
• Loneliness
• Disappointment

But, overcome these and you win.

Why do you think you need to know everything before you take action?

The fastest way to learn is through experience.

Don't miss out on gaining that experience while you think you aren't ready.

@_0xNinja_ Yep. If I hear many more TPS advertisements I am gonna cry.

How I used to develop:

• Tutorial Hell
• Jump from topic to topic
• Cram all my practice into short bursts of motivation

How I develop now:

• Focus on actual practice
• Spend more time on topics that interest me
• Rely more on discipline by studying every day

Whenever you feel like you do not belong, or feel others are so much smarter than you, remember:

You actually kick ass. That's why you're there.

If you don't advocate for your needs

Who will?

People are always looking for a hack to achieve something.

The magical life hack that makes everything so easy.

That hack? It's just patience.

Don’t lose focus on the real goal.

Capital is abundant. Morality, integrity, intelligence, honesty, experience, wisdom, social capital, capacity to execute, and domain expertise are scarce.

Look for projects that build positive sum products or services.

@0xgoddess Good job!

[Durdsen - Developing Onchain @durdsen]

A key component to feeling good:

Believing you have the power to control your own fate. Personal empowerment.

The best part is - you do. If anyone tries to take it away, fight back.

[Durdsen - Developing Onchain @durdsen]

@_0xNinja_ I learned to a curious mindset. I no longer view failures as mistakes, but rather as experiments.
You'll always learn something.

Are we naturally gonna end up with a few blockchains being dominant? How many can we support?

Find it funny how surprised/shocked lots of my friends are that:

- I don’t drink alcohol
- don’t drink coffee (don’t think coffee is bad per se, just feel better without it)
- don’t smoke
- generally pay attention to what I eat, can rarely justify eating pasta/pizza or any kind of fried stuff

It’s just habits I’ve built over the last 7-8 years (wasn’t always like this) and I feel fucking amazing

Puts in perspective in a way how ppl think Bryan Johnson is super restrictive with his lifestyle, but I actually believe the guy loves his life more than any other time before

I’m actually shocked how ppl can function properly doing any of the above

Some people measure their virtue by what they believe rather than how they behave.

They feel righteous yet act like ogres.

[Durdsen - Developing Onchain @durdsen]

When you try to become a developer, just assume failures are going to happen.

So…

• Don't give up
• Be patient
• Don't give in to imposter syndrome

Do these 3 things and you’ll become exponentially better.

If you are starting development on Ethereum, I believe the best toolkit to get to know is Foundry.

Go to the Foundry book here: https://t.co/WJvtAf0Wi9

Concise and clear writing is key when creating documentation.

Don’t let it get bogged down. Say what you need to, no more, no less.
