and i'm in some part of this too, and doing similar things with my projects, as well as nobody paying attention, and some of my things are going into what nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj is doing
just like gitcitadel, when we hit our releases everyone is going to think it came out of nowhere... lol, nope, it came out of GFY energy, which is "unpleasant" and "unpopular"
Open protocol means you don't need anyone's permission to become a major playa. 🤙
yeah, just to make a better solution and this forces people to follow your methodology
also, me and nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj are notable grumpy cats of the nostr dev community because most of you don't pay attention to important things like the self-sustaining use case of business communications (including associations and affinity groups) where there is mechanisms and money to flow into R&D as well as marketing... which requires auth, which requires a clean, extensible protocol, which requires a bit more listening to grumpy old engineers who actually know stuff about servers, protocols, encodings, cryptography and security
so, yeah, we sound grumpy
linus torvalds used to be grumpy too, now his project is degenerating into a bugfest
Yeah, too many hippies, not enough businessmen. They confuse their motivation to "do good" with their product "being good". To build a good product, you need to be a bit of a hard ass because that's the mentality that doesn't tolerate low quality or inefficient solutions. Nice people have low expectations, so their opinions carry little information.
The road to useless, buggy software is paved with the best of intentions.
