Certainly! Here's the provided information formatted as proper markdown:

# Builder's Path

**Builder’s path** is for those who wish to join MetaGame as developers - the most highly needed & incentivized role.

## Qualifications

- Experience with **TypeScript, React & Next.js**
- Self-direction and self-motivation: an ability to jump in amidst many moving parts, identify what needs to get done and do it!
- Good written communication skills are crucial, as builders are distributed across the Globe
- Ability to learn on the job, as we expirement with a lot of novel technology.

**Nice to have:**
- **PSQL & GraphQL** experience
- No web3 / Solidity experience is required for the vast majority of development work.

## Benefits

- **Experience, $Seeds & Eternal Glory**

Feel free to complete these quests in any sequence & skip quests if you feel like you learn best by doing / want to jump straight into tackling an issue. When skipping quests, feel free to upload bogus screenshots as proofs.

*Note: These quests are not mandatory to become a builder, you may simply start submitting PRs. To get the NFT tho, you need to complete all 6 quests!*

## First things first!

By now, you should have a vague understanding of what MetaGame is but you might have missed **MetaOS - an open-source framework** we’re using to build & run MetaGame.

- Depending on what you want to do, read one of the onboarding guides:
     - [Front-end](https://github.com/MetaFam/TheGame/blob/develop/guides/FRONTEND.md)
     - [Back-end](https://github.com/MetaFam/TheGame/blob/develop/guides/BACKEND.md)
- If you'd like additional support join the Wednesday 11AM EST Builders call.
- While you're in there, make sure to star (click ⭐) the repo! You may notice a discrepancy between what the MetaOS is explained as & the current state of the repo that precedes the idea of MetaOS - worry not, repo is set to be rearchitected soon.

**Still interested?**

- Read the [contributors guide](https://github.com/MetaFam/TheGame/blob/develop/guides/CONTRIBUTING.md) to understand the workflow
- Check in at the 🏗-builders-guild channel and ask anything
- Bonus: Attend your first Builders Align session

Don’t worry, it won’t explode! 😂

- Read & embody [C4 - the Collective Code Construction Contract](https://github.com/MetaFam/TheGame/blob/develop/guides/DESCRIPTIVE_C4.MD)

**Made it this far? Time for setting up the dreaded dev environment!**

- Go ahead, fork the repo & set up your development environment.
- Got stuck? 🏗-builders-guild is always ready to help, don’t shy from asking!

**Don’t give up now - the boring stuff is over!**

- Find a quest or an issue you feel interested in taking on
- Create your first pull request!
    - PRs directly to the TheGame repo are preferred (as opposed to forking to your own account)
    - Try to keep your PR small. They are much easier (and faster!) to review.
- Got stuck? 🏗-builders-guild is always ready to help, don’t shy from asking!
- Request a review using GitHub's suggestions
- Bonus: Share your GitHub handle to be added as a contributor to MetaFam so you can assign yourself issues and push PRs directly to TheGame.

**Great work! Time to close some feedback loops?**

If you’re not closing feedback loops, what are you even doing…

Some suggestions:

- Review or help review someone else's PR
- Create an issue documenting a bug
- Suggest improvements to this whole onboarding process &/or any of the related documentation
- Help onboard a new builder that’s asking for help in the 🏗-builders-guild or invite someone new
- Check for more issues? 🙃
