Recently, Chainlink Labs put on a Developer Bootcamp to get all types of developers with many levels of engineering experience started using Chainlink and web3 smart contracts. We brought Chainlink Labs' Harry Papacharissiou on to the podcast to talk about the event, and how it fits into a larger goal of making the world a better place with decentralized infrastructure.
