just wrote my final papers and defended my project. uni is officially done. 7 months into smart contract security. zero findings. and for the first time in my life I own my entire day. so I'm giving the next 3 months one job: my first valid finding by October 1st. the daily routine: → Ethernaut challenge every day → rounding up @CyfrinUpdraft Advanced Foundry Course → reading Solodit reports to learn how real bugs get found → everything documented on GitHub first stop: First Flights. I'll be honest, hunting real vulnerabilities in real codebases scares me. tutorials make you feel ready. I know I'm probably not. but I'm documenting the whole thing here. the wins, the rejections, all of it. if you're early in this space too, follow along. let's see what 90 days of locked in actually looks like.
