I am a web3.0 blockchain Engineer, For new comers my advise is : All interviews are in Nodejs, learn problem solving, learn smart contracts upgradeable concepts also, learn JavaScript

[@RichReflectionz]

So focus more on backend with node.js instead of just Frontend before going the solidity and web3 route?

[@AhmedKhan-rt6oz]

@@RichReflectionz Focus more on Solidity and Also learn nodejs(mean learn problem solving in JavaScript for interviews) but for real world secure smart contracts are the most. Learn hardhat and smart contracts auditing

[@mjohnson510]

If you’re a new dev without any real world experience don’t dab into this space because web3 companies are only hiring web2 engineers (majority never had interest in the field). I know from experience.

[@TomNook.]

web3 is basically AI now

[@RichReflectionz]

Agreed there, best get web2 skills up first, especially frontend before going web3 is what I’ve been told :)

[@Camxlare]

Underrated comment, this should be pinned.

[@RS-nc5qx]

Could you be more descriptive on what we should specifically do to prepare?

[@r1makan]

Hey Clem! Thank you for creating the platform! It helped me pass my internal frontend interview. So, I completed a challenge which I started along with you 😁

[@mustafaosman759]

Never thought I would see them two in the same video! Similar reasons for why I got into web3!

[@kevinespina3289]

Hi Clem! I have your algoExpert course and have a quick question. Which "whiteboard drawing application" do you use in your video solutions? (the one you use in the conceptual overview to visualize the problem...what whiteboard drawing application is that?)

[@alexmunoz9362]

@Patrick Collins the boss!!

[@Abrahamnavigator]

Hey patrick , thanks for the explanation I love the security aspect,we kick those bad eggs out of web3

[@maryj2734]

Thank you

What opportunities are there for Java developer in BC?

[@Rinael22]

Advices are the best part

[@PatrickAlphaC]

Let’s goooooooo

[@geece4999]

@ 6:04 it is "immutable"... but you can always "deploy" an improved version and use that in your dapp instead 😒

[@CodeOnBlocks]

Upgradable smart contracts

[@houseofcompilationandhighl6027]

Dummy upgradable smart contracts😒

Nice

Is this a crossover episode? 😮

[@gamera7206]

i've started taking courses on solidity and blockchain basics in the past 10 days but i heard techlead say that web3 is killed off. The beliefs on the internet differ, some say web3/blockchain is a scam and it's going to die while some say that it's a huge opportunity. I really want to give my all in this space but im still a coding newbie and im afraid im gonna spend years into learning this technology and then realising i would've been better off if i chose another programming field. What's your opinion on this? Do you think there are other more lucrative programming fields?

[@mikhailkuznetsov4679]

just focus on computer science fundamentals. those will help in any field. as a newbie do not specialise in something highly narrow, especially in blockchain where juniors are really not in demand (despite what those youtubers try to sell you). just be real - who wants to hire junior to build complex financial project? also 10 days is really short period of time :) You may invest 2 weeks to try out different fields.

[@GTheo.]

Any update about your journey..i try to start now..

[@spaceboychorizo7001]

Blockchain is very useful. There will be a huge demand in this tech one day. For now I am building something functional for all people to finance projects from around the world.

blockchain is stupid, it is fundamentally stupid, for the start - money does not work as blockchain does

[@reins981]

You guys think you are so special and intelligent. Block chain, super algorithms, Googles Best developers. Believe me it all will come to an end.
