Threat modeling sounds like something only senior auditors do, but every junior should start there. Even a simple question like “Who controls msg.sender?” can change how you code.
I used to chase syntax bugs and miss logic ones. Now I ask: “What state must never change?”
It’s making me see contracts differently. Curious how others started training this muscle early on.

My mentor had this annoying but brilliant rule — every line I wrote had to start with “because I trust X.” At first, I rolled my eyes. But within a week, I saw how many invisible assumptions lived in my code. I trusted msg.sender without context. I trusted arrays wouldn’t overflow. I trusted users to behave. All wrong. That one exercise built my security reflex. Now, before every commit, I check: “Where am I trusting something blindly?” It’s amazing how often logic flaws hide in those tiny gaps. Juniors who learn this early save their teams from nightmare audits later.
