It's supposed to be the technology of the future that everyone uses. It's not supposed to be like direct methods in crystallography, which are understood by a dozen people, of which half are over 50 years old.
- seibelj 5y agoRight but a bunch of nobodies on HN actively disparage the entire sector for whatever reason, which requires a pretty deep knowledge that the average REST slinger doesn’t possess, so the market is tight for competent devs let alone top-tier.

- bostonsre 5y agoYea, it's disparaged constantly for no good reason and if you know about crypto you are a God and everyone else is shit.
- knownjorbist 5y agoCould be somewhere in-between. There are very intelligent people focusing on the crypto, defi, decentralization and "metaverse" space. It's colloquially referred to as web3, but after "Web 2.0" people here have skepticism of such a term. Why would they be spending their time on this? Are they all just, as another poster said, "ideologically delusional and/or pathologically greedy"?
- rabuse 5y agoIt's not like that by design. It's still very niche from a dev perspective, and constantly evolving with so many different protocols released on the regular (most are shit), but you still have to sift through it to stay in the "know".
