How to progress in Web3 security (or any other field) so fast it feels ILLEGAL:
BOOKMARK this
It’s simple but most people don't do it.
1. Pick a goal - e.g. “I want to become a crazy skilled bug hunter.”
2. Research for a few days. Talk to people, read, figure out exactly what it takes.
3. Write down the things that’ll get you there as fast as possible - reading codebases, learning attack vectors, studying past hacks, etc.
4. Spend 99% of your time only on those things. Ignore everything else (or cap it at 30 mins a day).
5. Put in the hours. You can become a great auditor in <1,000 hours if you stay focused.
Most people fail not because they lack skill, but because they split their focus. They chase everything that feels productive instead of doing the few things that actually move the needle. Mastery comes from cutting the noise and doing the right work, relentlessly.

Today’s session helped me connect the dots between local development, testing, and real wallet interaction.
Understanding how everything ties together feels amazing 💡
