E108: Creating Essential Tools for Bitcoin Developers - Max Efremov (Hiro Systems)
Interview with the company making it easier for devs to build on Bitcoin.

What is up you beautiful people!
After taking some time off from interviews to recharge. We are back and in full swing talking to those helping the Bitcoin ecosystem blossom.
This week I sat down with Max Efremov. Max is a developer evangelist at Hiro Systems, whose job it is to connect with and educate developers on the excellent tools Hiro creates. These tools make it much easier for devs to create Bitcoin applications and not have to reinvent the wheel everytime with certain core services.

Listen to the full episode
What we discuss:
The current landscape of developing on Bitcoin
What are developer tools?
What tools does Hiro currently offer?
The differences between Web2 and Web3 as a programmer
The design decisions that go into building layers around Bitcoin
The role of Bitcoin for a better future
What are they working on next?
We covered a lot. Max has interesting takes with his background in economics and public policy, before he made the jump as an AI developer and then his current role as a Web3 developer educator.
Let me know your thoughts on the episode.
