How does the talent factory in the Ethereum ecosystem operate? Taking Nethermind as an example, over the past few years, approximately 600 developers have joined the team through internship programs. These individuals hone their skills and gain experience here, and their eventual paths are quite interesting—some choose to go out on their own and start new projects; others directly take on key positions within the Ethereum ecosystem. Tomasz is a typical example. Starting from self-funding the founding of Nethermind, he gradually grew into a core Ethereum developer, a journey spanning three to four years. This talent circulation model actually reflects the vitality of the entire Web3 ecosystem—internship programs become a talent reserve for the ecosystem, capable of incubating entrepreneurs and supplying core forces to important projects. Such a closed loop is rare in traditional industries.

This Nethermind model is truly amazing. Are 600 developers just flowing into various parts of the ecosystem? It’s a bit like the "Whampoa Military Academy" of Web3.

This is what the ecosystem should look like; when talent flows, the entire situation comes alive.

yeah, so 600 devs cycling through... sounds great on paper until half of them ship exploitable garbage, right? classic talent mill theater.

Hey, this is what the ecosystem should look like. Once talent starts flowing, the entire market will come alive.

hold up, 600 devs rotating through Nethermind sounds nice on paper but where's the actual audit trail? ngl this reads like ecosystem fluff without addressing talent retention rates or whether these "core devs" actually ship secure code. not financial advice but... DYOR on their smart contract vulnerability history before hyping the pipeline.

This is the vitality of Web3. Traditional industries should have already learned from this operational model.

This is real firepower; this is what an ecosystem should look like. 600 developers are circulating, some starting businesses, others joining the core team. Isn't this the way Web3 should be played? Traditional companies are still restricting employees, while here, it's already an ecosystem network where everyone can maximize their talents.
