Anyone hiring #Golang Engineers? 🙏
I’m looking for a Backend / Platform role in the Bitcoin or NOSTR space.
Took a few months break from work while I had major surgery, been working on goNDK and more recently a React/Ts PWA backed by API micro-services, integrating with NOSTR next for local, private communities… but it looks like I won’t be able to sustain it for more than a few months (revenue still a way off, knee-deep I’m infra and foundations).
Appreciate any recommendations, seems very hard to break into the industry via LinkedIn 😭

last week: surgery #1 ✅
this week: heal and spin up backend APIs
soon: integrate #NOSTR
fucking divs and css man 😖
this is why I stopped doing full-stack - we used to write static HTML by hand in vi, embedded in code or imported from disk
at the time (90s/00s) CSS and JavaScript had barely arrived and weren’t yet in widespread use
at least React/TS gets me all the way down to layout and UX concerns 😅 but we need a WYSIWYG editor generating code for this last mile 🙏
margin border padding style 🤯 if you love this stuff God bless you, my browser is filled with a deeply nested grid of inspection lines 😭

improving our terms and striving for accurate, objective and simple descriptions .. leads to clarity
building capability
I’ve been head down the past few weeks building my first React App, from which I can launch many different Apps / Products / Services.
I’ve never been that excited by frontend work, but now I’ve got a basic pipeline deploying to CDN, integrated with Auth0, and can run it locally … I can finally build out the backend, iterate and start shipping features 😅
NOSTR integration soon but had to deprioritise for short-term revenue and infra buildout 🫡

SOB I gotta make payroll soon 😭 😤
“In other words, to stay in power, American and British politicians need only fool their voters and do nothing else; their citizens plod along regardless. This makes both powers dangerous adversaries, for the people there are accustomed to obeying their rulers even in the most insane undertakings.”

There’s a surprising reason US is a rogue actor on the international stage
Together with its allies in London, Washington plays by rules of its own
every time I come back to NOSTR I become calm, happy, excited and highly motivated
love you all
yes brother

now I can’t stop pronouncing it no-str in my head 🤪
but out loud it’s always NOS-tr - it’s a functional separation to me, content-infrastructure 🫣
great intro video to hook more people in 🙏 🙇♂️

Anyone out there tinkering with private whitelist / offline relays for local communities?
