Stuff you learn in "web2" translates to web3, but the opposite is not true: the tolerance for risk and failure in the crypto space is just so much higher than anywhere else, that engineers who learn in that environment never really have a chance to develop the baseline technical skill expected by any other part of industry.
It's really a tragedy that the pump-and-dump web3 space is siphoning off so many entry-level programmers. When the music stops, it's going to be a lot of work for those people to transition elsewhere.
- random_kris 4y agoWhat do you mean by tolerance for risk and failure is so much higher? Bussines wise or on technical side ? Honestly I've seen it other way. Or at least engineers that i follow didn't exhibit such traits

What's considered acceptable risk in the crypto space -- operational, programmatic, business, systemic, anything -- has been far far beyond the threshold of acceptable risk in any non-crypto organization I've ever been a part of. This experience has been consistent across the ecosystems I've participated in, which are Ethereum, Bitcoin, Cosmos, and Stellar.
