Can we build a developer's LEGO factory?

Vitalik once said: "The Achilles' heel of the ecosystem is not the node, but the connection. Every application we build should not just be an isolated application, it should be every future thing in the Ethereum ecosystem. Components that benefit from it." However, the premise of achieving this goal is enough developers, so we heard Joe Lubin cry and saw"One Million Ethereum Developers"organize. However, how it will be implemented is unknown. The author of this article, Billy Luedtke, based on Vitalik's idea, since the application can be like this, what about the developer? Can we build a developer's LEGO factory? Billy Luedtke published an article yesterday that makes this point.

1 million developers

During Devcon 5, Joe Lubin's call to arms was clear: give Web2 developers a "hell" Ethereum moment, give us a million developers, and let the Ethereum ecosystem scale quickly.

Why should we care about this?

why should i care

For those of us who are already part of this ecosystem, wouldn't fewer developers mean less competition and more opportunity?

The truth is: in our world, the opposite is true. The more developers working on the composable components of Ethereum, the more opportunities there are for everyone.

As Vitalik and Joe Lubin put it, "The Achilles' heel of the Ethereum ecosystem is composability."

If you loved Lego as a kid, you will love Ethereum, because Ethereum is a 5D Lego block where everyone is constantly building and sharing new blocks, and you can shape old blocks into New blocks with new shapes, you have infinite blocks and infinite block shapes at your disposal. And amazingly, this"Lego blocks"Be endowed with monetary value from game-theoretic consensus and cryptographically secure mechanisms that you can use to build full-fledged trust mechanisms and financial instruments :)

You can imagine Ethereum developers like Lego players: each developer is developing a new Lego brick that can be seamlessly connected with other Lego bricks, and best of all, in this Lego system In , everyone can access any LEGO part in the system without any restrictions.

Therefore, more developers are equal to providing every developer with more, better, and ubiquitous credible wealth Lego!

Personally, I want more LEGOs, I love LEGOs.

Right now, the most efficient way to generate more LEGO sets is to bring new developers into the ecosystem. Humans can only work so many hours a week, so each person's productivity is limited, but if you activate other people, you break the maximum productivity cap, or rather, this will spawn a super high energy:

[Number of humans in the world] * [40 hours per week] = sum of potential productivity of active states.

Case in point: Personally, I can maintain a healthy 60-80 hours per week at most. If I bring 5-10 good and dedicated developers into the ecosystem, they can output 200-400 hours of work per week, and they can even bring some new developers into the ecosystem themselves, Thereby increasing their output!

If so, optimizing the productivity of the entire Ethereum community seems to be within reach!

I think expanding the Ethereum ecosystem is one of our most important jobs right now, so I decided to be the steward of Million Developers, the builder of Lego Factory.
