Sometimes I zap but it doesn't appear to happen 🤔

Reforming my network is a rather difficult task. Lots of bloat and decay from the past.

alright im back on my #onlyzaps gameplay. defaulting to 375 sats

Gonna build version 2 of the app to teach folks how to build nostr apps asap.

I went off on folks subscribed to Patreon last night... felt kinda good to get it off my chest tbh

A. DWNs aren’t a competitor to nostr and they focus on vastly different things. They’re collaborators to nostr. B. It’s easier to build with nostr in my experience C. Nostr developers are far more focused on communications and money reconstruction. I won’t be surprised if nostr apps implement web nodes for a number of reasons down the line. I would treat web5 like a bridge from old (X) to new (Primal) View quoted note →

gm nostr. Are you interested in an app that teaches you how to code as fast as possible? If the answer is yes, what currently prevents you from learning?

I love you all

The meltdown over crowdstrike on on X is hilarious

I'm naming the rebuild progr. It's short for program & progress. The progress is reference that the app is programmed to maximize progress.

The Patreon I’m offering isn’t just a support platform. I’ve included a number of resources to return significant value for supporting my ideas. https://www.patreon.com/RobotsBuildingEducation?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator View quoted note →

I’m gonna rebuild

Learn the foundations of coding with 100 questions assisted with AI.

with a separate application that is centered around nostr and the lessons I learned developing education technology. The goal will be to create a platform more enriching and pleasant than Duolingo. It will be done publicly and I’ll be happy to serve folks here. If you want to support, I have a $1/month tier only with the intent of using that money to support my work and the work of other developers here.

Another thing I’ve learned is the heavy lean toward consumerism. People want sex. They want candy. They want entertainment. They want status. They want to buy things that reinforce a deep selfish need in a competitive marketplace. This is one of the reasons why video games and social media experiences consumption far more than education technology. Why spend time picking fruit and freshly squeezing it when you can just buy Coca Cola? View quoted note →

One of the biggest issues I found in edtech and education content creation is that people “don’t have time” Technically what they’re saying is “I’m not going to prioritize this, so I won’t make time for it”, it’s akin to telling a homeless person you don’t have any cash as a quick out. The statement is a half truth that is negotiable. One of the reasons is because education is an emotional and social economic choice: when someone learns something they more or less expect some kind of return on investment and coding right now is a rather spoiled skillset. This result is heavily skewed toward success since it was a paid platform, however outside of it the “I haven’t learned” option is about 99% of the outcomes.

Welp. I guess i failed my first startup. I learned a lot about consumer behavior however. People love to be entertained.

Nevermind, I’m deleting TikTok and I’m moving to only nostr. I think some folks have seen a spiritual sickness from me for the past couple of months and it’s mostly rooted in how I spend my time online. Success on the internet used to be working with people to achieve things. Now it’s going viral to make commercials. TikTok has been a platform where I’ve received enormous amounts of abuse for selling education with the intention to create scholarships. I’ve created about $10,000 in scholarships mostly to be ignored by a collective 100,000+ following that seems to only be moved by the most traumatic social justice pornography they can find online. The attention economy is dead in favor of the reaction economy, and that has made my soul spiritually sick. I don’t expect much financial support on nostr to be totally frank, and that’s fine. I’ve seen enough here - people care about the well-being of the internet and that’s the kind of place I fundamentally want to be in with or without reward.

Wow wasn’t expecting that
