A review of web3 learning tools for devs
Note: None of the companies or projects mentioned in this blog post are paying me to write this. Would be cool though lol. Recently announced my full time dive into the web3 space and a few folks have been asking me what kind of roadmap or resources I used to get into the space. I’ll open with an honest and maybe brutal truth: anyone who tells you there is a definitive list of things you can do to just become a dev in this space is probably feeding you some bullshit. That said, there are a lo...
Token Gated Event Platform
Warning: Jumbled up thoughts about a product I may or not build. None of this is organized and may or may not make sense! I did this with an earlier post on a web3 music platform. I’ve been wanting to take any ideas I have for dApps and jot them down in case I move forward in building them or someone else can pick it up and bring it to life. This is a live writing things down as I think about the idea exercise. You aren’t reading it live but I’m thinking of it live and just jotting it down to...
Web3 Music Project Brain-dump
A couple of days ago I wrote up a little thread on Twitter about an idea I had on a web3 music project. This is an exercise in fleshing out the idea a little more in case I decide to build it out on a stream or on my own elsewhere. Here is the initial tweet thread if you want to see my first set of thoughts: https://twitter.com/Rahatcodes/status/1458594408413245440 So the idea came to me based on some of my own experiences. I was a very mediocre rapper once upon a time and used to pay a third...

So in January of this year I started trying to learn more about the Web3 space. I messed around with some solidity and and generally did some reading and lurking, just checking out what other people are doing. I started off just trying to really learn the solidity language but didn’t do much else on that front. As the year went on I started seeing some content from Nader Dabit on web3 and that pushed me to start diving into thing a little bit more.
The whole space was really cool, I loved the concept of a new creator economy. As a former musician (I know I’ve complained about this a lot but I’m still salty) I remember paying way more to keep my music on platforms like Spotify and Itunes than I actually earned from several thousands of plays.
The more I started trying out different things like buying more Eth and then trying to stake it and doing the same for Solana and then minting my first NFT the more I just fell down the web3 rabbit hole. This pun is going to be super fun in a second.
I decided to go all in on web3 in a way that I knew would work for me - I would learn and then teach others what I learned to further solidify the concepts I was taking in. To keep myself accountable I joined one of Joe Previte’s accountability groups. This was definitely a great choice! I was learning web3 concepts alongside a couple other folks and was able to ask questions to people more experienced in the field like Miguel Piedrafita. The group shared a bunch of resources as we learned together and I decided to participate in a hack weekend (Farza hates when we call it a course) on Buildspace. I highly recommend doing any of those hack weekends when they come up, its a project based way of learning web3. Also I think I’m the only one who calls it a hack weekend?

It’s a lot of stuff, I had made a goal that I wanted to move into the web3 space by the end of the year. I was networking on twitter following people and sharing when all of a sudden a dope company called RabbitHole tweeted that they were hiring. See where the pun is coming back into play now? I decided to shoot my shot and apply and realized oh! Someone I had been in one of Joe’s accountability groups already worked there and we chatted with him helping me out in getting an interview. He’s a cool dude, you should go follow Ryan!
Did a couple interviews and some contract work with them and now I’m happy to say that I’m going to be going full time in web3 as a Frontend Engineer at Rabbithole.gg! A dope place where you can learn about new and emerging tech in the web3 space and earn some crypto and cool NFT’s as you learn!
I’m hoping that if you’re reading this and wanting to get into the web3 space then maybe part of my journey and the resources I shared can help you out. I’m also happy to help in any way I can, theres a lot of room in this space and its just getting started! You can always hit me up on Twitter anytime!
