After 10+ years of coding, half+ of which were Silicon Valley big tech things, I thought I were a pretty good software engineer.

After 10 months of Nostr, I know shit.

Need to relearn programming and wash away all the toxic ideas & counterproductive practices that I have learned in academia and industry.

Man the feeling has been painful.

Don’t say that. I’m a god damn hobbyist who wants to break into the field. Blind optimism has kept me going for so long. I wouldn’t survive a reality check regarding my skills.

You’re doing great stuff.

Would also be interested to hear what you’ve had to re-learn/learn to approach differently.

Will be an interesting reflection blog on nostr (30023)

The skills and the commitment of the devs here are insane. We are with the best and I learn every day.
