"Not having a coding experience is becoming an advantage." Replit CEO Amjad Masad: "You don't need any development experience. You need grit. You need to be a fast learner." "If you're a good gamer, if you can jump in a game and figure it out really quickly, you're really good at this." "Coders get lost in the details." "Product people, people who are focused on solving a problem, on making money, they're going to be focused on marketing, they're going to be focused on user interface, they're going to be focused on all the right things." "I think this year it's gonna flip, and I think not having a coding background is gonna be more advantageous for the entrepreneur." @amasad with @jackhneel


I was a 10x engineer. Now I'm useless.




Rain? 🌧️ Please. We picked a venue that laughs at bad weather. @CCKonex is locked in and the show goes on! 🤺 LFG @USGOfficials







Unbelievable, but I did it — I completed all 740 problems on @RareCodeAI 🦀 This journey has been absolutely incredible — by far the best way I’ve ever learned a new programming language. The structure, the gradual progression, and the focus on building intuition rather than memorization — it just clicked. The approach that @RareSkills_io brought to life through @RareCodeAI truly resonated with me. It made #rustlang (@rustlang) feel logical, rewarding, and fun — every exercise was a step forward, every small success a reminder of progress. I’m humbled and grateful for how much I’ve learned, and I’m excited to start applying these new skills — first in my mutation testing project, zk-mutant. Over the past weeks, I found myself reading real Rust codebases and actually understanding them — something that once felt far away. Now, I can’t wait to build. And to the RareCode team — you won’t have to deal with my daily tags anymore 😅 I hope they weren’t too annoying. They were simply my way of saying: “this is awesome — thank you.” Thank you @RareCodeAI and @RareSkills_io for this amazing learning journey ❤️




If you want to work in DeFi or ZK, you really ought to be comfortable with at least calculus level math. DeFi is Finance and Finance is math. ZK is also math. When we (@RareSkills_io) try to explain something mathematical, we don’t avoid the math. Instead, we determine what is the “shortest prerequisite path” to get to the target of understanding. If you don’t understand the prerequisites, you don’t genuinely understand the subject and you are just reading such tutorials to feel smart. If you don’t want to wait for us to craft the tutorial series, you could just get cracked at math and read the academic papers and white papers directly. That’s what people who graduate from the ZK Bootcamp do (or did in the past). By the time there is a tutorial series for something, it’s not alpha anymore (which is good for the ecosystem, but bad if you profit from having knowledge/skills most other people don’t).
