Hey builders,
Figured I’d kick off a thread for anyone knee-deep in code, breaking stuff, fixing it again, and learning along the way.
Lately, I’ve been tinkering with some L2 stuff — mainly trying to optimize gas costs on rollups while juggling all the quirks of Solidity. Also dipped my toes into account abstraction (ERC-4337)... super promising but definitely not plug-and-play yet. Oh, and Foundry? Total game-changer. Just wish debugging reverts didn’t feel like dark magic sometimes 😂
Curious to hear what others are working on:
-
Building a DApp from scratch?
-
Experimenting with zk proofs?
-
Writing tooling or infra code?
-
Shipping to mainnet soon?
Also totally open to people sharing dev pain points, weird bugs, or even just cool CLI tools you’ve found helpful.
Let’s keep it real, technical, and slightly chaotic (as dev work tends to be 😅). Looking forward to seeing what everyone’s building — or breaking.
Drop your stack, repo, or just a rant. All welcome. 👇
Love this thread already — feels like group therapy for devs 😂
Right now I’m knee-deep in writing a modular smart contract system for a DAO tooling platform. Using Solidity + Foundry too, and yeah… Foundry absolutely spoils you once you get used to it. The cheatcodes and fast testing are addictive. But debugging reverts? Still a mystery box half the time.
Also playing around with zkSnarks via Circom for a potential on-chain identity verification use case. Brutal learning curve at first, but slowly starting to click. The tooling still feels early, but it’s moving fast — shoutout to those pushing zk education resources lately.
Account abstraction is on my radar too — trying to wrap my head around how to implement custom paymasters and handle gasless tx UX. Seems like the infra is just getting there, but still not what I’d call dev-friendly yet.
Random pain point lately: juggling too many testnets and RPC quirks. Sometimes feels like half my bugs are just Infura or Alchemy hiccups, not my code 😅
Looking forward to seeing what others are building — always down to trade tips, rants, or just swap gas optimization tricks.
PS: If anyone’s got a clean way to simulate heavy mainnet traffic in a local dev env, I’m all ears 👀
