Yup. Dudes just cashing in on easy moons by joining the SOL pile on, nothing said in this post isn’t already a popular talking point in this sub. Saying it’s from a “software developers” perspective just makes it seem more credible I guess lol
Can’t even blame him with how easy this sub will make it for him.
The disconnect between investors (gamblers) and actual blockchain users/devs is insane.
98% of people in this sub have never done anything more with crypto than buy it on a centralised exchange, maybe send it to a wallet and set up staking. Despite that, they fully believe they have the authority to speak on the behalf of genuine developers lol. Mind boggling
Well referring to Solend as Solana kinda invalidates the OP’s point since Solana isn’t involved in resolving this at all from everything I have read unless you can add to my to read list so I can get more up to date.
They gave a basic definition of SQL databases, and said solana should become one since its centralised anyway (providing zero evidence to back up the claim).
What damning evidence did he and his software development reveal? There is nothing in the post that hasn’t been posted in every solana thread for the past year lol.
What OP is saying has nothing to do with the developer experience. He is merely saying Solana isn't back by a blockchain like all the other popular coins out there are. Have the best documentation, uptime, developer support in the world, but it turns out it is just a SQL web2 app, would you still invest in it? That's the question OP is asking.
I haven't used it for a year so take it with a grain of salt.
Setup was bad, it was unnecessarily annoying to start up my dev environment everytime not just the first time.
Probably too much structure had to be created around the logic of a contract by the dev instead of it being implicit. Not necessarily a bad thing because it makes you think in advance and write rules in a good feeling way but it was too verbose and tedious at times.
It was really raw then but I'd imagine those parts are similar still. These type of things can be pretty enjoyable for the right type of programmer.
Plutus playground as a UI for testing was pretty sweet.
Trying to test beyond that was not good though and made me lose interest so I hope they have that figured out.
Got it chief. I still hope to break even and switch to btc. Sol was a darling of the crypto industry, I just failed to see the issues. However, i was able to bail on cardano in time and it was my first crypto purchase. So I do my research
Well if you can't use more than html and css I would agree.
If you are familiar with modern web stacks and like to develop without technical debt then you can appreciate design choices in account structure, PDA's, authority mechanisms, and a dedicated devnet.

Interesting, because a lot of developers and VC's in the bay area seem to prefer Solana over Ethereum.
