Blockchain Through the Eyes of a Developer

It's an interesting and fairly well written writeup. It makes me wonder at what point understanding how "blockchains work" becomes a moot point. Much like Machine Learning it seems like we are rapidly approaching where you can create your own smart contracts and "dapps" with no understanding of the inner workings of blockchains. Then the focus goes onto security and smart development.

To go back to the ML metaphor I think ML is going to have a growing field of "auditing" algorithms to look for biases towards certain races / social classes / etc. Right now for dapps the focus is on security auditing. Perhaps in this early stage we should be looking at how utilizing blockchain could marginalize people.
