Title: Becoming an Armory developer Post by: oldbitcoinfox on July 25, 2015, 08:47:31 PM Suppose I take a year off to learn the ins and outs of the Armory code and maybe even make some contributions to it.
Will I have to basically do this on my own dime or is it possible somehow to make money as an Armory developer? Thank you. Title: Re: Becoming an Armory developer Post by: unamis76 on July 26, 2015, 11:48:35 PM You'd have to do it on your own dime. It's not a good approach to want to code for something and expect something in exchange to start off with.
Forget the monetary part. If you dedicate yourself to something, if you're good with it and trustworthy, good things will come. That being said, Armory already has a solid group of devs working tirelessly to improve what's already an amazing product. And they're really trusted by the community and many people holding a serious amount of coins on their software. This is something that doesn't come out of the blue :) Title: Re: Becoming an Armory developer Post by: Ente on July 31, 2015, 01:21:39 PM As I believe, it's not that much a "long jump" where you prepare for one year, and then, voilá, are the great new programmer for Armory, but more like a marathon. You start with reading the code and understanding the functions, then maybe do a few simple external scripts for that, then do little patches. With time, you get better at programming and knowing Armory, and as important as that, knowing the Armory team and getting the team to know you, your skills, interests, and reliability. What's your startingpoint? Like, are you a propgrammer already? How about Python especially? Then there's a whole world waiting for programmers through Armory plugins. I have a project in mind where I'm looking for a programmer for an Armory plugin, hint hint :-) Ente |
