excellent. In all seriousness though, I dont have time to commit to programming tasks. Am in the middle of sorting out a migration to caribbean so cant with good conscience commit on that level. however, I do have some marketing resources (some grey hat) and I do have a couple decades of enterprise compute and edu compute background.
I am real handy for non critical path research and prototyping in lil bursts as well. But as I said. Am probably more reliable as an extra brain than anything else for the next few months.
dunno, but am handy and say funny things
k signed up left note to say hi. will take a minute to catch up to convo am sure.

you sound like carolina keith now
hahaha no not good ones. we could probably use a good ol fashioned 50/50 raffle to benefit devs and needy v4v folk. roll it twice daily and 50/50 whatever is in the pot.
Tough to get a gambling addiction to a community 50/50 raffle . . . uh oh. now you got me doing it hahaha
%100. It seems like everyone chasing audince before problem. gotta chase a common problem, then find solution, then find audience. Seems like many want audience and scale without the groundwork or any process to find product market fit.
Oh well. Lot of kinetic energy wasted in the early days I guess. We just need a few stalwarts with tight support groups to show the way. Something will emerge if we keep pushing and thunkin
hahaha careful though, that line of thinking can lead to gambling app proliferation
You launch, I pay for the service and convince some frens to join. You only need a few like me and something that fills a need and you are pretty good to go.
Have you ever heard of the 1000 true fans theory? Its a musician thing. Basically 1000 true fans who spend 100 per year across merch / product / events will fund a small project. The focus is then fanatically dedicated to their needs rather than on proselytizing. The word of mouth from a group this tight is a powerful force.
Just wondering if this idea may work for devs with passion projects as well.
Yah. Doesnt help that we live inside a metabolism. The monkey has its own needs and cycles but thrives with some discipline. yah we are a weird meta critter for sure
Thats the energy I am counitng on. This is the beginning of the last stand for the old version of humanity and human society. I like Human 1.0 personally so lets just keep grinding. See what we can save.
tldr: Blame it on entropy. Most things are entropy's fault.
right. no blame really just an incentive problem. Incentives are aligned such that the best financial decision for a developer becomes grant life. writing, performing, presenting and defending.
We then find ourselves in the same situation that post secondaries are suffering. They are captured and corrupted. You take the money for long enough and the donors run your institution. Most of the professional designations like P.eng etc are in the same situation.
It doesnt seem like anyone notices or cares. Seems like the doors are open and the grants are invited. It's bound to cause factions to form over time as different devs are tasked with different priorities that wont always align.
There are also celeb devs at the center of nostr community that use too many suit words. They arent very good at it and talk about engagement and customer facing and blah blah basic b.s. but they are there and always angling to control pinch points and messaging.
dunno ...
Thats the heart of it. The thing is that, in general people will follow the incentives as presented. Right now the incentives are to behave in a grant worthy fashion because a grant is only good money game in town.
Everyone will have their own opinions of what that is at first but over time the grant culture will coalesce into some familiar and low entropy patterns of influence, encouragement and admonishment. Self censorship is the final boss.
I see inefficiencies from 61 to 54 so am accumulating 61 to 54. I hope will fill. not gonna be many discount sats after this.
I avoid grants. grants are how you get regulatory capture. If they arent replaced by other funding soon then the capture will begin.
Many customers = Service Provider
One Customer = Servant, sooner or later
I havent been able to watch that show since the short of breath, awkward pauses, strange inflection like is barely managing to read the prompter presenter took over.
I just tried again but the breathless delivery was too much. . . tried
