I needed to read this today, since exactly this morning I started messing with a hobby project. Seems like every nostr tool and library is changed, changing, truncated, deprecated and I'm frustrated.
I'll still probably futz around for fun 'cause I'm slow.
Nostr projects just need to be devops-first and you need to program defensively, with stuff like ORMs and test automation.
That way your system responds appropriately to changes outside of itself and keeps you up-to-date on those changes. You should be pulling information in and calmly responding to the fluctuating environment, not chasing information down or feeling harrassed.
