I recently turned 33, and every year I want to go back to 21-year-old Patrick with a list of lessons. If you're in your 20s, these are for you. Most lessons only land after an ass-whooping. And even then, you usually miss them the first time.

Thank you for you service @code4rena. You will be missed. All the very best to the team on their future endeavors.

One thing I have realized working in a team is that I feel a higher sense of responsibility for a task at hand compared to If I was doing it solo.

Hardluck on the Fluid Contest. After lot’s of discussions, escalations and invalid -> valid -> invalid cycle, the issue was finally invalidated. Would have been a big win, but we move on.

Week 7 - 324xp on Math Academy - Wrapped up @ KannAudits Internship - Fluid escalations (kinda drained my energy for the week) From next week i might stop weekly updates because will start spending more time on bug bounty, nothing to update much on a weekly basis.

Week 6 - 292 xp @_MathAcademy_ - @KannAudits Internship

in chess, the best game engine stockfish can beat magnus all the time, but whatever moves it makes they are not complex to understand in retrospect. however in Go, the moves alphago makes are straight up incomprehensible to the best of the best Go players, the reason being go search space is astronomically huge, and we are cognitively bounded. So i wonder if the vulnerability space is more like Go or chess. to be a bit egoistic it seems pretty limited to me, and whatever bug any super intelligence can find i would be able to understand, cuz the underlying software isn't complex. but it is perfectly possible that claude 8 or 10 would produce an exploit thats like alphago's move 37 and i aint be understanding shit for like a month.

Week 5 - 295xp on Math Academy(slagging this week) - @KannAudits Internship Been a bit of a messy week, sleep schedule is also messed. Net to get back on proper routine.

Week 4 - 330xp on Math Academy - Concluded Chainlink Contest on C4 - Spent time documenting and invoicing my audits for proper bookkeeping

most Indians earning from abroad or in crypto are doing taxes wrong 🇮🇳 don't be that person 💀 i’ve taken 100 calls in the last 30 days with freelancers, traders, and exporters ( comment “ GUIDE ” and I’ll send you exactly how this works ) >even people earning $50k–$90k still confused about basics >either overpaying 30% or using risky payment routes i put everything into one clear guide RT this for visibility

Week 3 - 377xp on Math Academy - Chainlink Contest on C4 - Fluid escalations - Solidity CTFs rest of the time when free

My first ever sherlock airdrop, dunno if i should be happy for free money or sad that nothing got validated lol

Week 2 - 507xp on Math Academy - Did some reconing on upcoming chainlink contest Slow week. Realized I work better w/ clear goals deadlines. Bug bounties don’t motivate me like contests, but gotta push on. I hope to join an audit firm ASAP! Suits me much better.

Since there's a scarcity of contests, decide to start an weekly accountability series on X to keep myself disciplined. Week 1 - 674xp on Math Academy - Intuition Audit on C4 - Reconning various bug bounties to start one (haven't decide on it yet)
