it always starts with one good implementation that people can actually use

there is usually several attempts to do this but only one of them actually works properly at first and this momentum grows

one nice thing about this is that the seeming disarray of the specification comes into clear focus once someone builds a proper structure around it

i dunno about other languages but the Go versions i'm working with are a hellstorm of tight coupling, poor architecture and bad names,

not gonna totally hate on the people who scratch it together but it bewilders me how someone can build up such an artifice with such bad architecture without one day waking up and saying "ok, why is this thing impossible to change?"

no, i do understand it, i just write a lot more tests before i run off and try to implement, i have big codebases that had some nasty brittleness in them and this is my third major cycle of development working with nostr so maybe i'll get it right this time 😀
