Software developers who don't care at all what users think are morons who shouldn't be software developers.
Imagine if a chef didn't give a hot fuck how his food tasted. What would be his purpose exactly?
Markets solve this issue. Unfortunately, FOSS often has a problem where funding doesn't come directly from users. There's usually a middleman that somehow influences development toward the opinions of those who control the fund rather than users.
Ideally, Nostr will eventually reach a point where development is funded by users so a proper marketplace for features and ideas can form.
I'm not giving to foundations anymore. I'm directly funding developers who value my opinions and needs as a user. If they don't offer an easy way to be paid and offered feedback, fuckem.
true.
Except for projects with no funding. Sometimes you just write it for yourself and gfy 😂

Yourself is still a user.
I would be insane if I wrote software for myself with no regard for what I want.
It's different if you write it for yourself and give it to people for free. You set that expectation though. That's not what I'm talking about.
Yes. I wanted to point that out.
