• Reviewed rust-lightning contributing guide again as I’m getting ready to open that first PR on the repo.

• This seems valuable: Learn Bitcoin from the command-line.

• This also seems valuable: cryptopals. Could be good to do if I’m not writing much code at any point.

• Jon Atack’s website has convinced me even further to try to do a lot more review as I onboard to open-source. LDK probably doesn’t have as much resource-constraint as Bitcoin Core when it comes to review, but it really seems like a great way to learn and contribute value at the same time.

• Recurse. Seems cool.

• Need to return to LDK meeting notes in the future to help direct my efforts towards what I might review.

• Opened a draft PR, and made a comment asking about submarine swaps and using u16 vs u32 on a different PR. First step into doing more code review.

• Discussion in LDK discord - certain aspects of LDK are very difficult to fuzz/proptest. Don’t exactly understand the details, but fuzzing seems to be an effort they want to improve. Also I don’t really get the difference between fuzzing and proptest.
