It's very vast field, and by the day there is new stuff happening. I'm in 2 months now and only scratched the surface. In the Developer DAO (which is in founding) we currently plan to make all these web3 learning resources more accessible. But right now, you can look here for resources: https://github.com/Developer-DAO/resources https://github.com/Developer-DAO/resources

You plan to make learning resources more accessible by gating them behind a limited supply NFT? Interesting.

  While many of the members are just starting their journey, the NFTs are more of an incentivization for the creators of learning resources, I think. The resources themselves, when created, should reach as many people as possible.

    Noble goal, but I really don't understand what advantage you gain from selecting contributors with NFTs. To be honest, I hope it fails. Developer communities are one of the very few places in crypto that aren't totally infested by Ponzi grifters and where you can find honest conversation, so I wasn't exactly thrilled when I saw this pop up. We don't need more wonky centrally-managed incentives. Incentives can be harmful. It most often reduces to a simple Ponzi.

      To me it seemed that the incentives are used to make decentralization more secure in the future, but let's see how that goes. It feels like a refreshing alternative to the run of the mill VC/startup model.

        You'll make your money and in a year or two you'll turn cynic. That's always how it goes with the smart people in this field. Enjoy the trip.

        Money and cynic? I would have expected OR instead of AND. :)

        I'm quite happy being a cynic in the field. Helps projects I work on stay measured. Not everyone in the web3/blockchain space is money oriented, some are interested in the technical stuff that's hard to find as easily in other fields.
