Devs Do Something

Today’s guest is Foobar - a Dev, writer, and auditor who is also a DeFi & NFT founder.

You may know Foobar from Twitter, where he is a grade A memepoaster and prolific commentator on all things crypto.

He’s also the creator of Delegate.cash - an immutable primitive to safely claim airdrops for vaulted NFTs.

In this episode, we deep dive several of Foobar’s projects, including Delegate.cash and a repo he calls ‘Bored and Dangerous.’ We also asked Foobar about how he personally levels up as an engineer, and how he approaches things like smart contract security, making tradeoffs between immutability & mutability, and drafting EIPs.

If you’re crypto native who wants to learn how a thriving anon dev approaches their craft, this episode is for you.
