Day in the Life of a Blockchain Developer: My Work, Tools, and Workflow

in blockchainlife •  2 months ago 

Morning Routine:

I start my day checking blockchain news and organizing my tasks on Notion. With a plan set, I dive into the day's coding tasks, building momentum with smaller challenges before tackling complex code.
My Essential Tools

For development, VS Code is my go-to editor, with plugins for Solidity and Rust. I use Ganache to test locally, Truffle or Hardhat for Ethereum, and Anchor for Solana, making deployments smooth.

Workflow and Coding

I draft smart contracts, then test extensively. Unit tests check specific functions, while integration tests cover full workflows. Before mainnet deployment, I use testnets like Rinkeby to ensure everything works flawlessly.
Staying Productive

The Pomodoro Technique helps me maintain focus. When stuck, I reach out to forums like Stack Overflow. The blockchain community is collaborative, and sometimes, a quick tip saves hours of debugging.

Wrapping Up

I end the day reflecting on progress and learning. Whether it’s a new tutorial or browsing GitHub, staying updated is key. Blockchain is fast-paced, but that’s what makes it so rewarding.
