I don’t want to make you feel bad but I am a fit nerd.

WebSocket is the worst thing that has happened to Nostr

Why Nvidia but not AMD? I love AMD GPU

Discord/Slack, or simply put, organizational chats, are permissible by definitions. A design that enables permission-less chat does not automatically enable Discord style clients. A dilemma.

Instead of using a platform, Nostr enables users to be their own platform.

Reaction has arrived to Blowater

The engineering energy spent in web frameworks for the last 10 years can easily produce a better foundation than the browser. Even if a web framework takes zero time to render, browser is still just a slow platform. The browser itself still takes up 90% of the time. Immediate mode GUI is amazing and we don’t need any of the state management bullshit

Unpopular take: Revolutionary applications can and will only be built upon revolutionary infrastructures. I seriously doubt the possibilities of building a flourishing Nostr client ecosystem with Web as it is currently defined by the browser.

Here is my learning: when I start to aimlessly wonder around the computer screen, just stop and go outside.

Using cutting edge software feels awesome, you discover bugs and report to authors.

When the new JavaScript keyword “using” first came out, I was not a fan. Now, it comes in handy.

I always had this ego that because I had a CS degree, I needed to prove myself in the software industry, without even defining what was a proof. The life in the past few weeks, stronger and stronger, let me realize this mindset, this ego, prevents me from growing out of the burden of the past and drags me down from fulfilling a more meaningful life. Programming is just a skill I have, it does not define me. It is not my identity.

A new tutorial for running Relayed, for those who are curious

Discovered another design flaw of Nostr’s authentication scheme over WebSocket, especially for clients that want to have robust networking.

We are a week away from a robust authentication implementation for Blowater
