    I had been awfully quiet for some time on X. Reason: I was kept busy by (one of) the best web3 projects out there that are working on the cutting edge of ZK. I am thrilled to announce that I have signed a contract with @zksync and will be joining their protocol security team.

    Replying to @jarrodwatts and @freysa_ai
    Ok, it's probably time for me to take *prompt engineering* seriously. This was a game, but it could very easily be some sort of AI protection used on a bank account or a treasury and a new breed of blackhats will prop up to get that money and defeat this AI agent. Just because

    I used to struggle and come up with strange random addresses to use in my Foundry tests. Recently discovered `makeAddr` and I have been a very happy man since. It's just so damn neat!!

    ===Leaving Matter Labs / ZKSync=== 1. My Europe Trip Just a couple days back, I came home after soaking in the Euro summer in all its glory. Aperol Spritz. Pizza. Pasta. 20k steps a day. Wiping my ass with a paper. Getting mistaken for a store clerk mid-lunch… the whole jazz.

    Crazy that 981 days ago I started CryptoZombies with 0 idea of web3 & now I am working for (one of) the best web3 projects on the planet. While to me it could act as a big ego boost, this also points to a serious shortage of talent in our industry. We need to be better.

    I'm a cryptography and ZK noob and (probably) so are you. The Zk world is a big, vast, dense, dark and dangerous forest. It's easy to get lost wandering here for days on end without getting to the intended place. Let me start out a mega-thread of my understanding of ZK and how

    Convinced my dad to open a @zerodha account, start investing in stocks and reduce exposure to FDs. Just now created a portfolio of stable, low beta, clean, well-run listed companies with a regular dividend payout. Bahut accha lag raha hai bhai 😭😭😭😭😭

    Bits are addictive. Looks like I won't be able to stop until this gets converted into a book saxenism.com/web3/solidity/…

    Welcome to my turbo-autist guide to instantly write cleaner, safer & bug-free Rust code. I'll only list tips that are simple, straightforward & easy to follow. These are things I've picked up working on a pretty cool security project here at ZkSync, I hope it helps.

    I have a friend looking to hire a Solidity developer. If you're looking for a role, DMs open. RT for karma.

    I invite all my friends to cause carnage in this codebase. If I were you, I would start looking into the following: 1. da-contracts 2. governance contracts 3. interop stuff PS: To the person that comes in first, I'll fly down to wherever you are and take you out for drinks.

    Your boy's now officially an angel investor. Either my lineage will grow up spoilt and filthy rich or they wouldn't exist at all. No pressure.
