Working alone doesn't make you a career woman. It's a mindest. Guess I'm translating from the German "Karrierefrau".
Feels. 🫂
🤔 this might be useful infos.
You've lost your edge. Join me on the desk chair.

I could stand to lose some weight. 😏

You get a new baby tired pass.

Also, for the record, nobody (and we have applied to two different Nostr-y funds) has been willing to fund our development and we are still here. And lots of the projects that were funded are no longer here.
We're solving the protocol issue, slowly. As long as that progresses, I'm okay with it being a bit messy. Messy implementations are another thing because they send out corrupted events and burn the Nostr brand.
Yes, but it was a massive innovation. Someone had to think of that. In hindsight, it was inevitable.
You don't need money or centralization to be a leader. Jesus taught us that. You just need a more powerful message and a convincing group to spread it. And that group needs to be tireless. We are simply going to knock on dev doors, until the quality improves.
Yes. Also, the atomic nature of the events. These are actually things that make Nostr _easier_ to use, than the more common patterns, as you never end up with events you can't identify or categorize, and you can have high server redundancy.
TDD is 🤌

Make up your mind, Nostr. How bad do you want this? How serious is this game we're playing? Cuz, nostr:npub1s3ht77dq4zqnya8vjun5jp3p44pr794ru36d0ltxu65chljw8xjqd975wz is deadly serious. https://media.tenor.com/M4CGOcI-1OUAAAAC/are-you-not-entertained-gladiator.gif nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzplfq3m5v3u5r0q9f255fdeyz8nyac6lagssx8zy4wugxjs8ajf7pqydhwumn8ghj7argv4nx7un9wd6zumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpr3mhxue69uhhg6r9vd5hgctyv4kzumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcqyzxupa04kj0e49j8x09rj9ymsskc05amj3pt5dd4xq46twmsh62wkq5j97l
I can help Nostr build the world's largest, most-decentralized, eventually-consistent-sorta data store, and have it actually work. I cannot help Nostr do that while running buggy, neglected software. The software quality is the easiest systemic risk to reduce. That removes a lot of unnecessary noise from the system. Nostr needs to decide if it is ready to grow up and enter the big leagues, or of it wants to remain a bunch of Toys for Boys.
Looking for Tumblr.
For clarification: Millions of unique users... every day.
You cannot scale buggy, sloppily-built systems up to millions of users. Bugs are the worst UX. -- Person who develops smooth-running, well-conceived software for millions of users.
I have never seen Nostr "smaller projects" not become the basis for the Nostr "larger projects". Even major rewrites don't help, for long, as the regressions immediately begin seeping in, and the entire architecture groans under the weight of its own inefficiency and ineffectiveness. The crappy quality they begin with just stays that way, indefinitely, because those developers refuse to learn better engineering and are actively discouraged from doing so, by people who pay them to stay ignorant and amateurish, so that they can't steal the limelight from the Planned Winner.
