With so few people donating in the zap the devs button, the incentives are quite low to produce cool new things

The qualities that make something truly excellent come from being deeply involved in the entire process.

More long-term projects. Less chase-the-hype. More listening and responding to users. Less get-rich-quick schemes. Less begging gazillionaires for a Big Zap, in exchange for something-something-Bitcoin or something-something-AI. More actually thinking up useful things and concepts for ordinary people, and taking the time and the care to build them.

Family and friendship and faith give men a sense of purpose. The job is there to feed themselves, and their friends and family. It is not a purpose unto itself.

This change is the first time I read some NIP-29 change and understood what I should do.

Here's what I think the real skill of the AI era is. It's not prompt engineering. It's not knowing which model to use. It's not having the perfect workflow.
It's knowing when to stop.

The tech industry has a burnout problem that predates AI. AI is making it worse, not better. Not because AI is bad, but because AI removes the natural speed limits that used to protect us.

Creating is energizing. Reviewing is draining.

After AI, my job increasingly became: prompt, wait, read output, evaluate output, decide if output is correct, decide if output is safe, decide if output matches the architecture, fix the parts that don't, re-prompt, repeat. I became a reviewer. A judge. A quality inspector on an assembly line that never stops.

Before AI, my job was: think about a problem, write code, test it, ship it. I was the creator. The maker. That's what drew most of us to engineering in the first place - the act of building.

AI reduces the cost of production but increases the cost of coordination, review, and decision-making. And those costs fall entirely on the human.

ultimately all these social networks fight for network effects, and the actual tech is largely secondary. And for all the technical limitations, Nostr memed itself into some traction among crypto community, when boostrapping is the most important part.

I really dislike Nostr

For me Grimoire is a big deal, @verbiricha delivered an excellent power-user/dev client...if you have that set up the way you want, anything outside of the Nostr paradigm must feel frustratingly outdated.

nak + grimoire is my nostr dev environment
grimoire helped me troubleshoot an issue in my app and was able to fix it
I took a break for a few months because I was building a house
I love Grimoire

Nostr is for content, what Bitcoin is for value. Bitcoin doesn't need Nostr and Nostr doesn't need Bitcoin, but they work brilliantly together.

This means that people, computers, the Internet, and ultimately any particular government and government in general is irrelevant to Bitcoin. This is after all how it should be, as the most recent embodiement of an Essence
Source: trilema.com
Bitcoin, in and of itself, is in no need of any particular government or any government at all. It doesn't need the Internet, as proven by the existence of brain wallets, and it doesn't need computers : you could do the whole blockchain thing pen-on-paper if you had the inclination. It doesn't even need people : it's perfectly possible for gas molecules somewhere to play out keypair generation, hashing, blockchain creation and all that.

Bitcoin will eliminate coercion, by de-funding the state, and the delusional people who think it is necessary to plan society.

No, Bitcoin is not money. It is a database.

Every part of Bitcoin is text. It is always text, and never at any point ceases to be text. This is a fact, and as text, it is protected under the free speech provisions of the constitutions of civilised nations with guaranteed, irrevocable rights.

Bitcoin is fate. It operates completely outside of any human agency, even if it was (possibly) some people that created it. For all you know about who Nakamoto was... Bitcoin might as well have created itself.

Bitcoin is no "community", bitcoin is simply math.

Bitcoin is the most conservative thing since at least queen Victoria, if not outright Jesus. Bitcoin makes so-called "progressive" tax schemes unworkable. Bitcoin makes any sort of public welfare untenable. Bitcoin makes anyone's pretense of equality with anyone else risible.

Bitcoin doesn't make it easier for anti-capitalists, it makes it harder. Bitcoin doesn't make it easier for anti-corporatists, it makes it harder. Bitcoin especially does not make it easier for socialists, for those people that despise hierarchy and pretend equality : it makes it impossible. Plain impossible.
