Do you think blockchain knowledge is critical to engineer's career paths?


“Having quite an experience working with blockchain, it came to my acknowledgement: This technology means more than just a framework to resolve the business problem. It no longer stays as a platform where you build and develop an application. Blockchain offers an open platform and foundation to create a decentralized application and its ecosystem.

The foundation of blockchain derives from the backend technique. But as time goes by, its potential bypasses all the ongoing notions of software engineering. From what I concept, once people place reliance on blockchain technology and its ability, it grows as a burgeoning software foundation. This opens another career path alongside frontend or backend engineering. It's an alternative to explore and surpass one's seniority.”

Say, an engineer is ready to get started with blockchain. What key factor he should note?


“What caught my interest in the current youngsters is their proficiency in picking up new things. Some only need a few months to enroll and start their career with blockchain. This also brings a downside. They dive in too fast, get things done and somehow forget the critical factor of making a decent product: The long-term value.

Blockchain requires a level of accuracy and meticulousness. That comes with a logical mindset and testing approach to deliver a product that brings value. This concept must be grasped before you design, test and validate any model.
