Nostr Web Client

Funny story and a beacon to the nostr/bitcoin tribe 🙏 :

As some of you may know, I run an AI team at a large fiat health-tech company. The job has been sucking out my soul for the past few years, but I persisted because the paycheck was very comfortable and helped me keep the lights on at home. It's been brutal working 10-12 hour days under high stress, hardly being around for my teenage son's final years of childhood, and then trying to make time for my passion projects in bitcoin, nostr, and AI.

Last week, I had enough and finally did what I had been stopping myself from doing for over a year. I asked my SVP to lay me off. He laughed and said that's going to be really tough because I run a high visibilty team and the optics would be terrible if I was laid off. 😂

I pressed him some more and told him there was no way I could continue for much longer and he finally demurred and agreed to "see what he can do" 🤷‍♂️

I'm going to take him at his word and assume the sweet axe will fall by the end of June, plus about two months of severance. That's about as much runway I have to start making a dent with all the projects I want to dedicate my time to:

- NosFabrica: health data and interoperability on nostr

- Casa Nostra: an umbrella for all my creative projects

* "Finding Home," my Bourdain-inspired food/travel/culture show

with bitcoiners

* "July 18," the sequel to my novel 24 that's 20% written

* "Plebchain Radio," my nostr and bitcoin podcast I co-host with

* "Rendezvous with Claude and Friends," my performance art

podcast

* "The Acceleration," my AI focused podcast

* "Waiting For Satoshi," a one-act play I'm working on, loosely

inspired by Waiting for Godot

Why am I sharing this with you?

Because Nostr is where the smartest builders, thinkers, and gentleplebs hang out. This is my tribe and I am asking for ideas and guidance. Now that I have taken the leap, how do I make sure a net appears? I want to go full steam ahead on all the projects I listed above, but also want to ensure that I'm not rug-pulling my family.
