DEV Community: Ifeoluwa Sanni

Taking Blockchain to the grassroots.

🔷 Blockchain at the grassroots will only be interesting if it is introduced into what they love doing.

🔷 Imagine having a decentralized application where farmers can connect to wholesalers/retailers and consumers.

🔷 Imagine having a decentralized e-voting application where everyone can vote in the comfort of their homes and can monitor their votes.

🔷 Imagine having a decentralized health application where I can easily consult my doctor and can have a feasible consulting time to ease the long hours of queuing up in a health facility.

🔷 How about a decentralized transport application?

🔷 If blockchain will get to the grassroots, then Agriculture, Transportation, Health and Governance can not be ignored!

Developers and resting therapy

Stressed out or tired of coding as a developer, many developers have a way of easing stress from long hours of screen time, fixing bugs, resolving conflicts on repos, building new products, and learning a new language to make building easier.

Many found solace in exercise, music, playing games, taking a walk, and talking to loved ones.
However, I have a unique way of easing stress from coding. I take solace in designing and writing. These can be accompanied by music or listening to something edifying.
Such breaks rejuvenate my work when back to building.

Hello Developers! That break may be needed to fix that bug.

Cut yourself some slack.

Does one ever finish working?????

Another phase of a Web3 core training

Aya Web-3 fellowship was in two stages;
i)The Foundational stage that came to an end at the end of the year 2022,
ii) the Core Training Stage.

I didn’t know what the core-training stage meant until I was fully into it. As a front-end developer, learning Solidity and backend became part of my core training. I remember our instructor emphasized learning all these tracks to be well integrated into a team.

He further intensified this by giving us tasks on them. In one of the tasks, I made a social media image website. Take a look at it https://lnkd.in/ew6msutp

We did another task building a simple app with React and Redux-toolkit https://lnkd.in/e_46UEgi

The PACE workshops were so educative, insightful and entertaining. Learning about Clients' needs and software requirements is a must for everyone in the tech space. It is not just about building products but building products that are meeting your client’s needs.

Combining the aforementioned with the project was very unrealistic at first. I remember laughing so hard in my team’s first meeting when I saw the Product Requirement document. I thought of who would be building all these requirements mentioned in the document.

Well…….., the building is becoming a reality as we are gradually approaching the finishing line.
All thanks to the great pod members I have, so dedicated and hardworking, Our instructor(very patient, diligent and dedicated) and most importantly Aya (Techstars '23) for providing the platform to learn and rub minds with great intellectuals.

Web3 fellowship

In my fellowship with Ayagigs on Web3. I witnessed another phase of intensive training.

I built an NFT project that could write and deploy smart contracts. You can check that out here: https://lnkd.in/d9qhfNRQ

In another week, We were given a task to build the front end for a smart contract, integrating the read and write functions and listening to the emitted event. This was just a simple DApp. Here is a link to that: https://lnkd.in/d8gdCU_R

I had a great time in the PACE sessions learning about the phases in the software development life cycle. I knew the different models of software development lifecycle like the Spiral model, waterfall model, agile model, v-model etc. We came up with products peculiar to each model in the different groups we shared and discussed them extensively.

Is the Fellowship interesting? Yes
Is it tasking? Yes
Is it time-consuming? Yes
Have I ever thought about dropping out? Yes
Did I eventually drop out? No
Quitters don’t win. To be a Web3 front-end developer, I have got to give it all it takes.
