im very bullish on the skilled developers that are using teams of AI agents to do their job. for example, last week i had a nice meetup and conversation with nostr:npub14u83wvldmgdn0vyrwxmecpjt4xlwvqc9m7h40ylvrjjlade7wjnsk5ym97 who, as as senior developer, manages a team of 6 junior to intermediate developers. after his team completes their work, he does his job as their senior developer manager and reviews and merges all of the code together to build his project. his team? all AI agents. because of this, his company is able to have a team of 6 human developers and 36 AI developers, allowing them to save an incredible amount of money and save an incredible amount of time. this is what im bullish on. this new workflow.
It's not new. We've been automating things since forever and it has always been the best choice to delegate tasks to the most cost-effective actor.
The ability to **reliably** outsource more and more tasks to computer programs is following its unsurprisngly predictable trend.
And you're marketing the tool to me again, lol :winkwithtongue:
I'm betting that what makes mister Dark Sith unique isn't the tools he happens to use today.
My main point is that's it's silly to masturbAIt on the tools.
Focus on the tractor, and you end up with degenerative mono-crops of toxic foods.
Focus on the skilled farmer and you end up with systems that barely even need tractors.
(I type this from such a farm btw)
I am (and always have been) excited about the skilled humans that know to design and delegate.
I am very tired of the hype-cycles of badly rebranded tools these humans have been using and building all along.
"General farming will be all tractor driven given enough time"
You're saying that to a group in this thread that has tables full of solutions that they're building themselves.
Noooo, I have Social Media Rights here!!!!!
🤦
I remember all the talk about sustainable businesses during SEC-01, about a year and a half ago.
Meanwhile, zero businesses and the two businesses that were present and served as "north stars" are both gone.
That's a lot of walking and talking, for very little walking the talk.
There are dozens of us. Thank you for your service, nostr:nprofile1qqs2js6wu9j76qdjs6lvlsnhrmchqhf4xlg9rvu89zyf3nqq6hygt0spzemhxue69uhku6t9dshxummnw3erztnrdakj7qg3waehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme03d56gx. I appreciate your efforts as well. There's very little appreciation for independent devs on Nostr, and we should be more vocal about it.
Agreed, the business model for BTC/Lightning solutions marketing to new users will eventually eat itself. And I don’t mean in Ouroboros style (at current churn rates, there’s very little money to be made from naive new users anyway).
The bad news is that with its downfall, some of the funding keeping Nostr software alive will likely disappear. The good news is that… well, there are dozens of us trying to keep Nostr alive, regardless of financial incentives.
Relying on funding instead of business models, needs to go regardless. That's not bad news.
We pay in time.
They in integrity.
I'm only here for the "half a dozen artsy and techy folks" that are building the Community tools they need for themselves and their family and frens.
The Bitcoin-Twitter-Liberty-Scam-Cult use case is scaling down to (or as always been, lol) a small Community anyway. They'll need the tools too. If they realize how bad copy-pasting Twitter UX works out for 🐑 , that is.
Very few are learning with AI.
Most are letting AI do their "homework" and learn :zeroPercent:
Also, practical skills are harder to learn with AI, as it distracts you and blinds you to your need of just practicing and finding mentors that actually have the skill.
Or I just start off with default public packs.
Need a good name standard for that then.
It's only private in the sense that I'm not broadcasting it, just keeping it within Zapchat db.
Ahaaaaa! That makes sense.
So is prostitution, housing, ...
Heavy competition doesn't lead to high quality. Deception is the winning model.
While offering good enough for cheap enough.
Climax of a season of deception? :book:
Multiplatform.
Nostr app dev momentum around it.
Fine-grained control over UI custom painting (I build design packages).
Resources about it.
For actual Figma canvas type stuff, we need #Hypermedia imo.

I get and appreciate that.
It's the focus on publicly connecting **individual** people (Follows typically) that tends to force the influencer behavior on profiles.
You seem to be trying to get profiles out of the box of "the one influencer thing they're known for" with topical tagging. That's a great step forward from the Twitter (and Primal) UX. I'm also going that route.
I think interop Communities are more promising tho. "Follow" isn't a thing in the apps we're building.

Most obvious ideas first, as usual 😉 #logodesign
OK community folks, how do we best represent the 500 or so nostr:nprofile1qqsra2ey033mkdwl5w8q0jss9ak69zafh82xsuvhwsaauw3trkq2amgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgcwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tck28qzu communities natively on Nostr?
Right now we have an Area primative that is a geojson (multi)poly then a bunch of tags for name, logo, population etc. We use Areas for both Communities and Countries.
Feels like this is an Area kind that may reference existing community kinds of different flavours. Or a geographic addon to existing Community kind?
#asknostr
Just link to the Community / Brand pubkeys.
They can build a #communikey, on it when they and the apps are ready for it.
Or have fun chasing community event IDs (or even relay addresses + slugs 🤦 ) of the other specs.
The deeper the thread the deeper the convo.
Or the opposite 😜.
These are also exactly the kind of messages you might want to receive in your legacy-email btw.
Venn diagram on point :Check:
The first color I see is unfortunately not usable in Light mode.
The one for my own pubkey, neither.
Also, why not use the full HEX pubkey to avoid weird or repeating colors with mined keys etc?
Private groups have the lowest barrier to entry.
Public communities have the biggest network effect.
Public squares have no chance.
Yup, specialized relays = lowest hanging fruit for trust/anti-forgery
Regarding Follows you might enjoy this thread: nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzplfq3m5v3u5r0q9f255fdeyz8nyac6lagssx8zy4wugxjs8ajf7pqqszfm9mvw25s2s720slcx389sw4ylamnl4j6zk2mdm9qsdx2wlyvqqf8hm6t
Regarding Zaps I agree with you. That's why I'm designing for Zaps to be more than just Tips.
IF
1. Creators can reply to them
2. Zappers can see their zap amount in context
THEN
We can see some kind of market pricing form around what amounts/comments are going to get you recognition/attention/reputation ...
With games it gets confusing because they are often partly selling something scarce (computation, hosting, access to a community of other live players, etc...).
1. Zappers need recognition:
Love this nostr:npub1axy65mspxl2j5sgweky6uk0h4klmp00vj7rtjxquxure2j6vlf5smh6ukq 🔥
2. Zappers need anchor points:
3. You cannot depend on Zaps alone and need things you can set a price on. On an open protocol, these things have to be scarce:
- Your Community (write-access)
- Your inbox relay
- Your physical products
- Your hosting / computation
- Your time
- And even your recognition/replies on Zaps (see 1)

So obvious, it makes it good? 😜
nostr:npub15qydau2hjma6ngxkl2cyar74wzyjshvl65za5k5rl69264ar2exs5cyejr
Agree.
Also, Tit for Tat can get expensive real fast 😂
