I too get the same vibe. He has no interest in arguing in the NIP trenches.
Give me your finished spec and I’ll implement it. I feel the same way the vast majority of the time.

it should not be a fight
people build protocol
make client and server implementations
other people can then use it
if they can find it
it should not be a task for decision to put the nips up there but rather simply compilation task, compliance to them is voluntary
the way it is now is not working, it is extremely inefficient, unpleasant, and is leading to the situation where i literally have a relay that is open readable except for a few kinds but neither nostrudel nor coracle can read from the relay because it *rightly so* refuses to do anything further until it gets its auth response
which is because the dictators of the nips are client devs
who don't actually understand protocol development
and this proves it, over 2 years and we still don't have authentication
imagine web 2.0 without auth, just think of it
