Developer advocacy has always fascinated me as a career. Since I finished my full stack coding Bootcamp and jumped into my career as a front-end developer, I’ve always thought it would be awesome to make a career out of devrel!

Picture this, you’re ready to deploy your next amazing smart contract, maybe it’s a minting contract for an awesome NFT collection, a contract for a Token, or maybe you’re deploying a contract for a Governor DAO. (Don’t worry you don’t need to know what all of this is for this tutorial) Whatever it is, what if you didn’t budget properly for the gas fees needed to deploy said contract? It’s important to understand and account for how much it’s going to cost you to get these Smart Contracts deployed onto the Ethereum Blockchain.

Last year I pivoted full time into Web3 and its been an amazing experience so far. I’ve made a lot of friends and new connections in the space that have helped me grow both as a developer and a content creator. I wasn’t going to make any new years resolutions for 2022 but I ate my words when I said ok let me help more people interested in web3 get into the space.

An awesome part of using a dApp is the fact that you can connect your wallet and and be logged in or signed up for the application right away. The problem that this may bring is that wallets are this large string of alphanumeric characters and don't make the best usernames. See example below:

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.

It’s daylight savings time now in a lot of parts of the world. We’re getting a little less sunlight, the days are shorter, and seasonal depression hits you like a fucking truck. The seasonal bit for me is that my depression just kind of gets worse than it is the rest of the year. I actively noticed it this year, I was trying to observe changes and I noticed I felt a bit more down than before. Yet it wasn’t as bad as it normally was. A lot of it is due to me taking my mental health more seriously. I’m privileged to be able to afford a therapist as well as to be able to take medication that helps me through the rough patches. While sitting and thinking through things I realized there was another additional thing aside from all of this and family and friends. The dopamine hits I’ve been getting from participating the the hype that is Web3.

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:
