    After four years building scalable APIs, I feel ready to move into blockchain development — but it’s intimidating. In Web2, we “move fast and fix later.” In Web3, one careless line can freeze millions of dollars.

    I want to understand what skills transfer naturally (architecture, security mindset, testing) and what I must unlearn before I start my first Smart Contract job.

    Anyone who made this jump — how did you retrain your brain for immutability and financial risk?

    You’ll be surprised how much transfers. Designing for clarity, writing tests first, and thinking about user impact all carry over. What you must unlearn is “push and rollback.” Blockchain has no rollback button.

    Start with internal testnets and learn to treat every deployment as final. That mindset alone puts you ahead of most fresh hires.
