Source of thecoding.dev: Documentation Engineering and Developer Education for blockchain and web3 teams.
thecoding is the independent contractor brand of Vini Barbosa (Vini B). I turn complex developer and security topics into content people understand, use, and share, with a focus on blockchain and web3.
Two service lanes:
- Documentation Engineering: docs audits, focused rebuilds, and ongoing docs ownership, delivered docs-as-code.
- Developer Education: tutorials, technical articles, learning series, workshops, onboarding paths, and education-shaped DevRel. Sponsored Technical Content is a delivery model under this lane.
The entry point is a $350 Paid Discovery: small, reversible, and it ends with a concrete plan. The primary action is sending a brief or booking a 20-minute briefing.
| Page | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Home | Overview of both lanes and the recommended first step |
| Quickstart | How to choose an entry point, send a brief, and review a statement of work |
| Pricing | Fixed-price packages, entry points at $350 |
| Documentation Engineering | Docs-as-code services: health checks, focused rebuilds, ongoing ownership |
| Developer Education | Tutorials, technical content, learning series, workshops, onboarding paths |
| Work | Selected case cards with context, scope, and honest limitations |
| Recommendations & Endorsements | Client and collaborator feedback linked to artifacts |
| Contact | Paste-ready brief template and contact channels |
AI assistants and agents can index every page through llms.txt (live).

Pages are MDX files with YAML frontmatter. New pages must be registered in the navigation block of docs.json.
Prerequisites: Node.js (this repo pins Node 24 via mise, the Mintlify CLI needs Node >= 18).
# Run local preview from the repo root
npx mint@latest devOpen http://localhost:3000. To install the CLI globally instead: npm i -g mint.
Pushing to main triggers an automatic rebuild and deploy through the Mintlify GitHub App. There is no manual build step. QA changes with npx mint@latest dev or branch previews before merging.
The 2026-09 buyer-path overhaul of this site is documented as a public case study: milestone 1 tracks every phase, and the merged overhaul PR shows the full paper trail, from inventory audit to ship.
Bug reports, typos, broken links, and small improvements are welcome. See CONTRIBUTING.md for issue forms, the endorsement flow, and PR conventions.
Clients and collaborators can leave a public recommendation through the endorsement issue form. No fork or pull request needed. Approved recommendations are published to the Recommendations & Endorsements page.
