# Musings as a developer **Published by:** [Maddyinadream](https://paragraph.com/@maddyinadream/) **Published on:** 2024-10-21 **URL:** https://paragraph.com/@maddyinadream/musings-as-a-developer ## Content To set some context, I’ve been building in Web3 for 4 years now. I started off in 2020 skeptical about Ethereum, even going as far as building a different blockchain in an attempt to “outcompete“ Ethereum (yes, I was delusional). And then I realized that Ethereum had a vastly bigger distribution (the community that was built over the years). So I switched sides and started learning about building dApps. I’ve worked with a few Web3 startups over my short journey, spanning from the domains of Web3 gaming to Perp DEXes. I’m curious to learn more about how we as a community can improve this space. Heck, I am writing this article because I’m new to Mirror :) In any case, that’s about me! See you in the next one :) ## Publication Information - [Maddyinadream](https://paragraph.com/@maddyinadream/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://paragraph.com/@maddyinadream/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@maddyinadream): Subscribe to updates ## Optional - [Collect as NFT](https://paragraph.com/@maddyinadream/musings-as-a-developer): Support the author by collecting this post - [View Collectors](https://paragraph.com/@maddyinadream/musings-as-a-developer/collectors): See who has collected this post
