Nostr Web Client

How is your 2024?

It has been pain, anger, tears, sweat, suffocation, growth, career change, love, passion and everything else.

I fought in 2 BJJ competitions. Got choked to unconsciousness in the 1st and won a silver medal in the second.

I wrote lots of JavaScript and worked as a full-time frontend engineer for the first time, coming from a backend engineering backend.

I stepped away from programming and started my own podcast which I’ve been wanting to do for years.

I started to read books again thanks to friends met in Portugal.

I went to Thailand.

I confronted with my limitations as a software engineer and closed the chapter of blowater.app

I am not leaving Nostr. I believe in a better system for individuals to share and connect with people more than ever. But I will take time to learn before I make my next software.

Last but not least, the true coin rocked!

Curious about your lessons that you had with programming!

There are so many things. Make simple code is one of them. It’s so cliche. Making progress is more important than making beautiful code. Software is a tool before it’s an art.

Now, much more, I appreciate developers who can carry the weight of a project from beginning to shipping. Making a working software that people actually use is so hard.

You should try again Water at some point. We still don't have exactly what you were building.
