tranqui.ethExperiment Log 21-35 Recap
Start of Phase 2In my last Mirror post, I talked about having just started to learn React, with my eyes set on the web3con hackathon at the end of the week. Fast forward 21 days and I have since progressed from basic React, began/finished the hackathon working on ecodrips, learned a ton about solidity and the EVM, failed to fully deploy my team’s project, and took a week off to explore Chile. It’s been a little crazy to say the least. That being said, I am feeling ENERGIZED having taken a sho...
tranqui.ethHow to Start a Headless Brand
Public Assembly was created to explore what happens when you take concepts like hyperstructures and headless brands literally. Spun out of ZORA (where I currently contribute towards engineering + devrel), PA has learned a lot very quickly by grounding our approach to organizational development in these theories. 143 days into the experiment (and with some hours to kill in Narita Airport), the time feels right to share some observations we’ve made so far.What’s Changed Since 2019"BRIDGE SZN II...
tranqui.ethExperiment Log 1-10 Recap
What Are We Doing Here?Excited to say that as of today I am 10% of the way through my 100 day experiment focused on blockchain development. If you haven’t muted notifications from me on Twitter yet, I will add you to the allow-list for my first NFT project. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, read the thread I’m linking below. TL;DR is I discovered that crypto is actually real and then quit my job/moved to Chile to focus on reinventing myself as a web3 dev. https://twitter.com/...

Officially 20% of the way through this experiment, days are flying by and I’m learning a ton. This is how I would describe the current vibes:
https://twitter.com/0xTranqui/status/1494696348108701699?s=20&t=oCAwMtgAVwo7OuZzY8zBQg
The last 10 days were defined by moving out of HTML/CSS land and taking my first steps with JavaScript. I had been told that this is where things were gonna start getting hard, and unfortunately people were not exaggerating.
Going into this, I was unaware of the difference between HTML/CSS and what languages like JavaScript are designed to handle. HTML/CSS are used to format and style your webpage but aren’t equipped for enabling custom user interactions or handling data. JavaScript is a language that allows for full algorithmic scripting, meaning that you can write code that enables task automation, data indexing, and more. The possibilities with it seem pretty endless, so needless to say the learning curve has been much steeper than it was for HTML/CSS.
That being said, after the first 3-5 days working through the FreeCodeCamp course and beginning my first projects, I started to feel comfortable both writing my own scripts, as well as reading/understanding code from others online.
I built a bunch of random stuff that you can see on my GitHub profile, but the coolest was a program that tracks how much time has elapsed since I quit my 9-5, and a YouTube randomizer app.
As I write this, I am “finished” with JavaScript and will be starting with React tomorrow. To be clear, my understanding of JavaScript is EXTREMELY limited, but the purpose of this whole experiment is for me to progress to deploying dApps as fast as possible. I will be moving on with what I believe is enough competence to not be completely lost as things get more complex. As always you can check out this page for a more detailed view of my progress. This is where my roadmap stands as of today:
HTML (complete)
Basic CSS (complete)
Transfer workflows onto VS Code (complete)
CSS Flexbox (complete)
Get set-up on GitHub (complete)
CSS Grid (complete)
JavaScript (complete)
React.js
Node.js / Next.js
Solidity
Infrastructure needed to deploy dApps
The rest of my life
Over the next 10 days I plan to develop a basic understanding of React and will start messing around with Solidity. This is the point where I think this experiment is gonna start feeling real…
The hackathon for web3con (virtual web3 conference being hosted by Developer DAO) begins on February 28th which will occur during this upcoming 10 day chunk. I’m in the process of putting together a small team of people to build a basic project for that, feel free to reach out if you’d be interested in collaborating!
Last thing, I submitted an application to a very interesting web3 fellowship program called Le Crypto Fellowship. Accepted applicants receive €100k to fund a year of learning/building in web3 in exchange for 7% of their first company. Fingers crossed.
