The critical step for attracting developers to your community is helping them compile the code. Here's the test: if a slightly interested end user could contribute something useful to your project within seven minutes, your community is growing. If not, you have a problem no amount of marketing can fix.
Case study — Ethereum & TRON
In the Ethereum community, we standardized how NFTs work (ERC-721), evangelized developers, and built the standards process — making NFTs the primary onramp for new blockchain developers. I also ran interactive workshops for TRON DAO Hackatron where participants with zero programming experience deployed a live smart contract. My work was sponsored in part by Ethereum Foundation, Microsoft/GitHub, and TRON.
The seven-minute test is easy to say and hard to pass.
