Fireside Chat
summary
Program emphasizes hands‑on developer pipelines: Speedrun Ethereum and Scaffold‑ETH teach Solidity, staking, prediction market and stablecoin examples, plus GitHub etiquette via a Build Guild repo and Telegram batch to turn learners into contributors. Claim: shipping many small projects through hackathons moves builders past the pit of despair; by the fifth or sixth project people land users or jobs. Measurement relies on on‑chain activity, CRM traces and GitHub PRs, not course completion alone.
