If I were an engineer I would totally see the big gap between demand and supply in the @solana ecosystem. I would totally devote myself wholly to learning that ecosystem to move to greater heights in my career. Oh wait...
If you want to get in on the cutting edge of development these days, visit discord.gg/metaplex MWF at noon CST for office hours, and discord.gg/solana to pick up the basics of the @solana ecosystem with help from your fellow learners.
Me personally, I spent at least an entire day studying the quiet koans of github.com/solana-labs/so…, the beating heart of @solana in my humble opinion, written by the Great Old Ones. After that I DDOSed my brain with docs.solana.com several times.
Finally, I would be remiss not to mention the excellent Anchor discord chaired by @armaniferrante at discord.gg/DBRNTAt6 (don't know the vanity URL). It is there that you can learn the Anchor framework, which is doing for @solana what Ruby on Rails did for web2.
The documentation on @solana may not be the same as StackOverflowing your favorite web2 CRM, but also the amount of personal direct support you will get from core devs on these discords is worth untold (and unpaid) thousands. It's a close knit community. No excuses - join it.

I want to talk about the new Auction House contract from @metaplex and what it means for the ecosystem more broadly. A thread 🧵
This contract allows the creation of Auction Houses - entities which can pay for fees, saving users money ( like maybe a seller with 0 sol ;) ), and that can collect fees at a contractual level for both themselves and royalty holders.
Heavily influenced by @jarxiao's work in spl, this contract allows instant sales and making offers WITHOUT ESCROWING NFTS. Sales can happen without either user having to commit to a second action beyond initial bid/ask - once matched, sale execution can be done by perm-less crank
