To the "...people spending hours on code reviews... or who put effort into debugging mysterious issues to fix problems before money is put at risk, or who are working on a hundred other tasks that would only make the news if they weren’t being done." -
Thank you.

You can create a curriculum or run a program, but you can't teach persistence. You made this happen and we will be better because you are here.
Let the real work begin.

Who is interested in hiring pre-vetted interns/junior devs w/ a strong background in Bitcoin philosophy and Bitcoin/LN foundations? The @QalaAfrica curriculum is designed to train the skills that are most in-demand. If you are hiring jr devs, we'd want to learn about your needs. twitter.com/gladstein/stat…

If you care about bitcoin security and can get to your CLI, Bitcoin Core needs your help to test the 22.0 release candidate. wrote a killer guide at github.com/bitcoin-core/b. Testing rcs keeps us all safe. If you run a node (or want to) please lend a hand.

Bitcoin doesn't have a centralized foundation which means aspiring Bitcoin devs must demonstrate more proof of work than other projects to get funded. It's lumpy, but the community has recognized the need and dev funding is now trending in the right direction. (5/6)

Climbing the mountain can be lonely. PR merges were the wins. Kind comments on GitHub & IRC were fuel to keep going. So, congrats Jarol. You've gone 0 to 1, and Bitcoin is better because you are here. You've got a motor, kid. Can't wait to see what your ceiling is. (4/6)

There are no shortcuts to becoming a productive Bitcoin Core contributor. Jarol simply put in the work. No residency. No internship. No podcast. Instead, he sat in his mom's basement for months reviewing PRs, finding ways to add value, making mistakes, & course correcting. (3/6)

Let me add a little context about and gemini.com/blog/gemini-to. I first met him last fall when organized a seminar for university students. Jarol worked harder than anyone else, and it was clear he would do what it took to become a Bitcoin Core Dev. (1/6)
