#4 – Austin Griffith: building on Ethereum

<p>This is a conversation with <a href="https://twitter.com/austingriffith">Austin Griffith</a> about his continued journey as a builder/educator, and learnings from onboarding thousands of developers onto Ethereum.</p><p>Austin is a friend and someone I've had the good fortune of working with extensively in our shared time at the Ethereum foundation. In this conversation, we take a tour through the different projects he's worked on over the last two years — starting with ETH.build (the graphical interface for working with smart contracts), moving to scaffold-eth (his development starter kit that has really taken off and been used by thousands of developers), and then moving onto the BUIDL GUIDL and the Moonshot Collective (DAO-like collections of developers who work on prototyping interesting new ideas). We also go down a few fun tangents around Loot, the Doge NFT, DAO tooling, and we get to hear a walkthrough of Austin's curriculum for bringing a new developer into the space.</p><p>I consider Austin to be a gem of the ecosystem, and feel lucky that we have him here. I hope you enjoy the conversation.</p><p>Check out our newsletter for other episodes and writing: <a href="https://bytecode.substack.com/">bytecode.substack.com</a><br>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/sinahab">twitter.com/sinahab</a></p>
