I applied to the Boss chaincode class after weeks of self doubt. But I was like screw it let them tell me no if I am not good enough for their program.

So I fill out everything and I’m like okay this isn’t so bad. I hit the submit button.

Immediately get an email from chaincode that says we got your application but we are not going to review it until you complete this exercise.

So I’m like thinking hey it’s probably going to be a quiz on bitcoin stuff like what is a blockchain and what is mempool and what is P2SH?

But nope they want you to build Bitcoin Core from source and change the code to do some things. All from this GitHub classroom.

And already I am thinking this was a big mistake. But I am going to give it an honesty effort to complete the task tomorrow. I have until January 3rd to complete the exercise.

Odds are I will get rejected and I will look for other ways to improve my education and skills around Bitcoin development
