Most Nostr developers have never worked at a company, university, church, or other large organisation, so they don't know what software they could build, to appeal to an entity that might pay them for their work, even if the code base is FOSS.
And the ones that do have this experience, rarely gained it as software developers, so their experience is too shallow, to architect such a system.
My team excluded, of course.
This is also why it's so difficult to form teams.
Teams tend to have people in different, but overlapping, roles, but Nostr devs all want the same role. That's why there are 50 scriptkiddies around here, peddling their buggy crap-code (that has to be FOSS because it's completely worthless and useless), but only a couple of testers, devops guys, marketers, relay managers, data scientists, embedded devs, DBMs, requirements engineers, support staff, etc.
People used to working in project teams are a rarity, on here, but it's hard to get past vaporware-level without them.
It’s ironic then that #Nostr was created by that same people with #Bitcoin as base layer for transfer of value. It’s because the current system is corrupt, and focuses on extracting value. #Bitcoin and #Nostr reverses the incentives and will bring back power to decentralization. ⚡️🤙
I’m honestly reluctant to drag my team along, although I can’t seem to stay away myself. I’d basically be asking for a favor. Again. It won’t do them any good IRL, and the possibility that they get compensated seems minuscule. All the risk and work required of them personally, but no balance.
Yeah, you have to recruit people who are already drinking the Nostr kool-aid. The talent on the ground is very thin, here, and most of the talent is still just lurking. Hesitant to join the fray.
Bootstrapping projects is a quick and efficient way of delivering stuff.
I am sure many of those JustOneDude projects will turn into much more solid companies when the market is there.
