All the talk of ossification seems to be lacking nuance. What exactly are these people referring to? Do they understand software development?
Feels like we could use a Nostr Nest on this. Would love to see nuanced discussions with pros and cons or people for and against talking it out.
What do you think nostr:npub18ams6ewn5aj2n3wt2qawzglx9mr4nzksxhvrdc4gzrecw7n5tvjqctp424 ?
STUDY BITCOIN. IF YOU ARE SCARED OF CHANGE BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERATAND SOFTWARE. BETTER START STUDYING. THE DEVS ARE FIRST CLASS CITIZENS IN BITCOIN. IF YOU CAN'T READ CODE, YOU RISK BEING EXPLOITED. DON'T LET IGNORANCE BE THE REASON YOU FAIL.
GO READ MASTERING BITCOIN. GO LEARN TO READ AND UNDERSTAND CODE AND BOOLEAN LOGIC.
At least to some extent this is no longer about "software" or "ossification". This is about control and power.
DOGGONE IT GARY YOU'RE REALLY GONNA MOTIVATE ME TO RE-SKILL AND CHANGE CAREER PATHS TO ESCAPE THE DRUDGERY OF FIAT MINES FOR BUILDING A BRIGHT ORANGE FUTURE AREN'T YOU
Only if you want. Reading code doesn't mean you have to write code. Understanding how a protocol works technically doesn't mean you have to develop code for the protocol.
YEAH FAIR POINT I'M ALSO GETTING BORED OF USING MICROSOFT DAX IN A BANK AND ITCHING TO GET BETTER WITH PYTHON SO IT AIN'T MUCH BUT IT'S HONEST WORK
Thanks Gary, You're so right. As a non DEV who has gone down the bitcoin rabbit hole, I understand what you mean. Now I spend everyday trying to learn something new about bitcoin and I will take your advice. Anybody got a PDF of Mastering Bitcoin?
Bro not everyone in the world who uses bitcoin is going to become a coder just because you said so on nostr

History shows new classes of society emerge from literacy and education. Don't be a second class citizen in Bitcoin.
Learn to read code. Study Bitcoin. Or trust your dev literate overlords and submit to their power.
