Sui Developer Relations Head Talks Blockchain Development: Decentralization, Education, and Community Engagement Are Crucial
Developing from Scratch on Sui: A Conversation with the Head of Developer Relations at Sui
This article introduces the views of Brian Hennessey-Hsieh, the head of developer relations at Sui, on open source, decentralization, and developer success.
Brian has worked in the open-source field for over 20 years, from GCC and Linux to cloud computing areas like OpenStack. He has always been passionate about open source, believing that open collaboration and transparency are key to software development. After joining Uber to create the open-source project office, he eventually entered the cryptocurrency industry and is now the Head of Developer Relations at the Sui Foundation.
Brian has three viewpoints on the web3 industry:
It is necessary to achieve true decentralization, allowing the community to participate and make meaningful contributions like in open source projects.
It is necessary to explain to people what new technologies like Sui are and how to use them to solve problems.
Applications and use cases have validated the value of the technology, and he believes that web3 will ultimately be adopted on a large scale.
Regarding the developer relations of L1 blockchain, Brian believes the key is decentralization and interaction with developers. It is necessary to establish principles and methods for community interaction and accepting contributions to ensure fairness and inclusivity.
To attract developers to use web3, Brian stated that it should be viewed as a technology for solving problems, rather than a distinction between web2 and web3. The key is to teach people to evaluate this technology in the right way.
For mid-level developers looking to transition to Sui development, Brian recommends:
Understand the basic theories of distributed systems, cryptography, etc.
Decide whether to do application development or core protocol development.
Study the open source code and try to modify it.
Actively communicate with other developers and join the community for guidance.
Sui is developing various educational content and tools to accelerate developers' learning. Brian hopes the community can also participate in tool development, and the Sui Foundation will provide support.
The community is currently exploring new features of Sui, such as dynamic fields and programmable transaction blocks, in search of innovative use cases. Brian particularly hopes to see a solution that fairly and transparently rewards contributors, which will further promote the decentralization of Sui.
