yeah, fyi coracle is a welsh word for a type of boat that is tiny and can be easily carried by one person, sometimes incorporated into a backpack setup so you can navigate small rivers as are common in britain

(like the Cam river that gives the name to Cambridge, the river is about 10m wide, and there is a lot of various kinds of rowing sport going on, it's so shallow even that you can do the raft and long stake, they have a name for that too, ponting, i think, i've seen people on these plastic raft things with long oars for this).

this is also why hodlbod's other project Welshman has its name as such

i'm really excited about the idea of building really simple, tightly focused user interfaces for nostr data, my first is going to be an IRC style chat protocol i invented, that may get the NIP-79 number

I always wanted to do the boating with a stick...

I love the concept of tiny programs that are somehow interoperable. Like, you could have a spaghetti architecture of tiny programs talking over a protocol and you build up a custom client from all the building blocks you want. Each tiny block could be like kilobytes small. Idk. I'm not a dev, I'm sure you'll tell me why its impractical.

it's much like how i think of systems, so, it's not impractical, it's just a lot of puzzle to solve to define the shape of the interfaces between the pieces, and most programmers don't think in terms of interfaces, apart from Go and Java programmers

I saw a roadmap for learning to be a dev... Ffffffuck that. Whatever they're paying you, its not enough.

haha, yeah, but the job satisfaction is very high... just doesn't come that often
