Unsolicited advice for my fellow cypherpunks (and developers) on wanting to get credit for your work – don't.

The more used your work becomes, the more injustices you'll experience. If you fixate on injustices, you'll only feed the problem and end up limiting your ability to keep building.

I've been through plenty of dumb situations over the years, and one thing helped me push through is the mantra of: credit is in the outcome.

So focus on that – and if the outcome achieved is not enough to keep you motivated, find something that is, instead of creating a demand that others have to recognize or appreciate the work you've done.

So true for many types of creative work.

When you are ahead of the curve, others naturally don't understand it. Even less can they appreciate your efforts in their consumer mentality.

An exception might be performance arts or sports.

Btw, I very much appreciate your work! Never really had the chance to tell you nostr:nprofile1qqsfrjd9ux5hgsg5cmlz6cdwfh5zv2024g8m2t6g9zqf83l8uqm0svsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uq3xamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3w0f3xgtn8vuhsq04x42
