Opened up twitter for 2 seconds to see this shit
Terrible take imo. Akin to “we built the road 50 years ago so we don’t need anymore road workers ever again”

Meanwhile nostr is just running around dan-ing
I’m kind of sympathetic to this argument. But I’m not technical enough to know how much dev work is needed for true maintenance. I think a strong case can be made for ossification.
Core devs especially isn’t sexy work, and they are very neutral/conservative in the protocol. Important for funding to exist for folks who work on the world’s most import open source protocol. Also people come and go from the work, so important to have resources for training, support, and beyond.
Devs don’t just change the L1… that’s like the least of their goals (eg only when necessary) I thought?
100%. They’re constantly looking for areas of weakness, bugs, attack vectors, stress tests, and more. A defense, if you will
Mircea Popescu believed in ossification a long time ago, certainly seen as clownish today but I think there may be a grain of truth somewhere in there. Probably more wrong than right however, for example we don't need to worry about protocol changes, we will always have legacy nodes that refuse to update.
