I saw this post on nostr:npub1au23c73cpaq2whtazjf6cdrmvam6nkd4lg928nwmgl78374kn29sq9t53j ‘s feed and it resonated with me.

I know that individual devs don’t represent or speak for core. But I can’t help but feel uneasy when folks like Rusty Russell, representing themselves as a core dev, are excitedly talking up all the risky changes they’re planning while acknowledging their carefree approach to risk assessment. I have no idea whether the work is R&D or whether the soft fork is imminent.

What else is making people uneasy with core? Why is the perception of core getting worse?
