Magical Other Stuff Maximalist

When I was 11 my family and I went on a drive to the mountains in Cordoba, Argentina. ~10 hour drive. This was one of the books I took with me.

I read it during that trip without access to a computer, so all I could do was daydream about the stuff that could be possible.

For some reason, the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion example made me think this was some kind of wizardry.

The moment I got back home a week later, I started coding and simply never stopped.

I, for the love of me, can't imagine how it must feel to write a book like that one, that touches so many lives so deeply.

😂 I love your writing

I just hate email

the book that changed my life

lol, I forget that shit and its ilk still exists

I have a lot of thoughts on how to do it, but I think others are already working on it.

funnily enough, I had a startup a few years ago in Boston mining git data and selling it to google, hubspot, TripAdvisor, etsy, etc

fwiw I hated working with them and shut down the business -- fuck tech oligopolies

they can't rugpull the code as git is inherently decentralized (each fork keeps a perfect history of all copies)

but it could (and has) rugpull collaboration tools

👏

for whatever reason my midjourney outputs always look shitty

can't wait for github to be obsoleted and call it boomerhub

just responded on gh (same username)

an LN escrow service could do something like this

otoh, I know a few hex pubkeys by heart now

it was spotty before but I made a bunch of fixes; it should work better now, hopefully 🤞 if it doesn't lmk please!

daaaaamn, that's a cool image! is that midjourney??

100%, the twitter experience is one of the low hanging fruits, more low hanging fruit:

* medium (🎩 #[3]'s https://habla.news)

* github-like

* google docs-like

* dropbox-like

* cragislist-like (https://ananostr.com)

* airbnb-like (also https://ananostr.com soon)

* amazon-like

and those are just low-hanging fruit

less obvious:

* topic-based/regional relays (#madeira will be one of the firsts adopting this cc #[4])

* reputation systems (e.g. WoT)

the interesting part comes when these experiences compound off each other and we explore the next level of innovation this enables
