<p>In blockchain, proof of work shows that real effort was done. In your career, open source is your proof of work: a public, verifiable record of how you solve problems, respond to code review and collaborate with others.</p><p>That record matters more than ever. AI can now write code and generate pull requests, so what makes a developer worth hiring, promoting or trusting with critical systems? And in Web3, where many teams are distributed and hiring is global, contributions often matter more than a CV.</p><p>This panel brings together maintainers, contributors and people who hire engineers to share real stories and practical advice:</p><ul><li><p><strong>What employers look for now:</strong> which skills have gained value, and which have lost it.</p></li><li><p><strong>Standing out:</strong> building a visible track record without green-square farming or AI-generated PRs.</p></li><li><p><strong>Using AI well:</strong> making it your advantage rather than a replacement for understanding.</p></li><li><p><strong>Where open source leads:</strong> paths into Web3 and decentralized teams, and growing from contributor to maintainer and leader.</p></li></ul><p></p>
