A lot of Nostr runs on grants, bounties, and patronage, unfortunately, so it's more important to get everyone's attention early and be first, than to build lasting architecture.

Throw a rickety shack up on new territory, market hard with your huge npub, get paid, laugh at everyone building a nice house.

Repeat.

TCP/IP was same when internet started. Then came in commercial entities - ISPs / Routers / Portals

That was hardware-related, tho, and less complex on the software level.

Anything hardware related is time-bound, and delayed.

I also think normie users should care more about the tech here because they're going to end up stuck in a sw oligopoly, where you can have any flavor of client, so long as it's one from a repo collaborator.

Twitter 1, Twitter 2, Twitter 3...

but you can only have Twitter.

I've noticed they think Nostr devs are something really rare and difficult to acquire.

No, they're common, but difficult to motivate because this place is very high time-preference and good architecture and devops takes a while to build.
