Yes a vague title… Today was the first day that I really sat down and immersed myself in Solidity. I’ve been meaning to fully immerse myself to become a blockchain developer, but I got too comfortable at working with front-end code that I brushed it off for a month or so. Well it’s time. I will be spending around 4-8 hours a day working in Solidity and reporting my understanding for the day(s).

But first I want to answer - why blockchain development? In the easiest manner, it’s cause the technology is cool and that’s where the money is. I genuinely believe that we’re still in the infancy of what we can achieve with EVM’s and what not, but with how much smart money is flowing to funding shit like this… I can’t sit around and wait for the field to be established before diving in right? I want to be here now.

Anyways - I spent my first day playing and setting up a Hardhat project and then moved into CryptoZombies.

Day 1 thoughts:

• Solidity is not a difficult language from the looks of it. Although my experience in a statically typed language is little to none, I can get comfortable with this. I have some experience working in TypeScript and doing fundamental shit in Rust.

• The established libraries(?) or protocols built on OpenZeppelin seem to create the early safeties that need to be implemented to smart contracts early.

• I enjoy how deployed Smart Contracts can almost be viewed as backends/databases. I’ve worked across different databases and they’re all different from each other.

• Idk. But can I officially say this now? WAGMI.
