I should've done this sooner. Here is a look into Siren the first UI built for Lighthouse validators. This, among other ETH tooling, has been my main project for the past 3 years at @sigp_io.

It’s like saying, I don’t have to understand how a car works because the BMW factory made a tool that will help me build any car prototype I want! I’m only limited by previous built car information, I have to pay BMW for tokens to build the car, and if I need to maintain the car I only can bring it back to BMW because I have no idea how I actually works inside.

But hey, there is no need for mechanics anymore because I have this wonderful new tool!

See the picture now?

LLMs are not AGI they don’t think they have no reason. You’re using algorithms connected to chatbot interfaces. It’s just tech disguised as AI to make you think it’s all mighty. The biggest problem with becoming dependent on this tech is you don’t own it. You’re merly subscribed to a tool that is designed to make you dependent

@0xwillthetrill I’ve been spammed non stop by fake recruiters trying to hack me! On top of the 7 step interview process only to be ghosted by real companies…I’m tired honestly and have already considered a break from crypto 😞

[themavrik.eth @themavrik_]

@auditor_nate I appreciate the words bro! That is exactly what I will do. Math, Solidity, Audits, and maybe rust. All year!

[themavrik.eth @themavrik_]

Yep, I’m burnt out. I think 2026 is the year of rest and mental health for me. 🫠

@saxenasaheb Drink coke and make jokes

[themavrik.eth @themavrik_]

@Jeyffre Good luck, I hope the event goes well!

[themavrik.eth @themavrik_]

@EthereumDenver I’m looking to my next crypto gig! I’m a full stack dev with typescript, solidity and rust experience

[themavrik.eth @themavrik_]

@kamensec Have fun out there guys!

[themavrik.eth @themavrik_]

@JacobKerr17 I’ve literally been working in crypto for past 5 years. Been looking for a new gig for the last 6months and have been ghosted more times than I can count

[themavrik.eth @themavrik_]

@charliekerr @Uniswap Some feedback when you get turned away would be great for us in the trenches 👀 It’s not a one way street

[themavrik.eth @themavrik_]

@Jeyffre I neeeed this for solidity 🥲I’ll eventually do the rust excercises too

[themavrik.eth @themavrik_]

@PatrickAlphaC Well my bathroom sink keeps overflowing, can’t fix that with solidity lol

[themavrik.eth @themavrik_]

Yes! Now I understand. If I want to level up I really need to stay on top of my math

[themavrik.eth @themavrik_]

@Unnati_builds24 I’ll pay YOU for this opportunity actually lol

[themavrik.eth @themavrik_]

@daniel_knopik Lmaooo

[themavrik.eth @themavrik_]

What are some open source crypto projects I can contribute to?! Asking for a friend 😇 #Crypto #Ethereum #Monad

[themavrik.eth @themavrik_]

@upen946 1 week max?

[themavrik.eth @themavrik_]

This is why I’ve been binging @_MathAcademy_ for the past few weeks. Grinding lessons everyday so that my rare skills lessons don’t seem so intimidating 😎

If you want to work in DeFi or ZK, you really ought to be comfortable with at least calculus level math.

DeFi is Finance and Finance is math.

ZK is also math.

When we (@RareSkills_io) try to explain something mathematical, we don’t avoid the math. Instead, we determine what is the “shortest prerequisite path” to get to the target of understanding.

If you don’t understand the prerequisites, you don’t genuinely understand the subject and you are just reading such tutorials to feel smart.

If you don’t want to wait for us to craft the tutorial series, you could just get cracked at math and read the academic papers and white papers directly. That’s what people who graduate from the ZK Bootcamp do (or did in the past).

By the time there is a tutorial series for something, it’s not alpha anymore (which is good for the ecosystem, but bad if you profit from having knowledge/skills most other people don’t).

@Sha_dow002 @CyfrinUpdraft @CodeHawks @mahima_thacker What do you mean writing failing tests? You write tests that fail or you debug them?
